‘Lomi Lomi’ means ‘to rub or to knead’ in the Hawaiian (Polynesian) language and it is a beautiful form of body work which is energetically vibrant yet deeply relaxing. It is a full body oil based massage in which the practitioner uses hands and forearms in long fluid strokes of varying intensity and rhythm up, down and around the body.
The massage has a unique flowing style, which is deep tissue in nature, working to nurture the body as well as to release tension and
relieve strain. ‘Lomi Lomi’ also balances the mind emotionally thereby providing a safe space for you to empower yourself to deal
effectively with life’s challenges.

What our students are saying about our Courses
I had to find a new school , once SAGE Institute went into liquidation, in order to finish my Massage Diploma. The staff at Prime Alternatives (where i have bought my Massage Tables & oil from the last few years), deal with all massage schools & i went on the fact that they strongly recommended, ACFB as the best option to complete my studies.

Jodee
The student clinics with the constant trainer supervision was absolute gold in this preparation, I wish we had had this during Cert IV.
Rachael
There are many reasons to study with ACFB, location, student clinic and flexible study options. The courses are changing and I trust the longer duration will be a positive for people who may find the content difficult to grasp. I am pleased I studied at ACFB, I've formed long term friendships and added a number of things to a previously empty tool box.
Louise
As much as possible, I believe the trainers did. Material was delivered visually as well as hands on.
Leanne
I enjoyed the comfort of the classes & flexibility. I also enjoyed the care for the clients in clinics.
Delores
I enjoyed the way the content was provided, I found it was a good ratio of face to face classes, student clinic, and home study. The trainers are great. The facilities are good. The clients in student clinic are great.
Mel
I would recommend that new students study at ACFB, As having studied massage at Box Hill Tafe, Sage Institute & ACFB, i can clearly outline that the Staff at ACFB are way more professional & knowledgeable than the other schools I have attended.
