We could like to extend a warm welcome to our members from New Zealand. We hope to offer more specific content for you as the site progresses. In the meantime, we've created an NZ specific forum in the General Massage section.

Information has now been added on equipment and supplies for Hot Stone Massage, Cupping and Gua Sha, along with other useful massage accessories. This includes basic specifications and price listings. You can access this information via the menu on your left.

If you're ready to purchase or upgrade your massage table (portable or electric), we've just added a comparison page to help make your decision. We've included specifications and prices from the leading Australian manufacturers along with links to their retail websites.

We've now added a search engine for massage and natural therapy courses. We're also happy to list workshops and private tuition by qualified instructors. You can find the link to this directory on the left-hand menu. Information on how to register your courses/workshops is also available via that link.

The ACNM has announced its next series of information seminars in each of its campuses (Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and the Gold Coast) on the 13th of April at 2pm. For more information, follow this link.
