Aidan Esposito
Australian College of Massage Graduate

"I was first introduced to massage while undergoing rehabilitation for a shoulder reconstruction. The care I received during my treatment made me realise that I would like to be involved in the health industry. That is now 13 years ago and a successful, fulfilling journey is continuing.

Nothing is more challenging than a client presenting with a particular pain and then after treatment leaving with no discomfort and feeling fantastic. This gives me great satisfaction, something I feel everyday in this profession."

 

Fiona

Fiona Culley
Australian College of Massage Graduate

 "After teaching Physical Education for close to twenty years, l decided that l needed a change in direction as far as my career was concerned.

As a massage therapist, I now treat people who are suffering from a wide range of problems and complaints - which are either work or sports related, or involve rehabilitation after major motor vehicle injuries. This is both challenging and very rewarding. Thank you ACM for such an extensive and inspiring course."

 

Guang

Guang Rong Lu
Australian College of Massage Graduate

 "l have more than 35 years experience in Circus training and performing, which is mainly concerned with how to use the human body to perform specific tasks. However, since studying at ACM my knowledge has expanded.

I have particularly applied my massage knowledge in the Circus touring program. I took two groups to the Sydney Olympics. One group was in the opening ceremony and another group was performing at the Sydney Olympic Arts Festival. 

I am pleased I had the opportunity to study with ACM as this has helped develop my career further in my current position." 

 

Mark

Mark Lironi
Australian College of Massage Graduate

"Having researched a number of Colleges, l found that ACM was the only one which truly specialised in massage, providing an extensive and diverse range of subjects.

I am a personal trainer and gym manager and my massage has seen me work with the Australian Inline Hockey Team as the Strength Trainer and Masseur. This enabled me to travel with the team to countries such as France for the World Championships.

Working as a masseur with Paraolympic athletes has also been very inspiring

It is great to do something you love and get paid for it. I am my own boss, can work my own flexible hours and the financial rewards are fantastic."

"I work as a life and corporate coach and one of the main focuses of my work is enhancing the performance of organisations.

The massage course was so comprehensive, enabling me to integrate bodywork into my business. I apply much of what I´ve learned from my massage course to my own daily life and to the lives of my clients."
