Cortiva Institute is a family of wellness schools with one
unifying focus: to create a new standard of excellence of massage
therapy and wellness education. One that:
We are proud of the rich experience and perspective that each of
our schools brings to the whole. And while each school is unique
in setting, history and emphasis, all Cortiva schools share the
core values of integrity, quality, compassion and community.
Cortiva schools represent over 200 years of collective experience
in successful massage therapy education. Our expertise reflects a
deep practical understanding of theoretical concepts. We
recognize the difference between a fad and a real breakthrough.
We understand the importance of healing, therapeutic
relationships. With a profound respect for tradition and
intuition, we've achieved an exceptional record of innovative
leadership in the teaching of massage.
As a community of massage therapy schools, we bring compassion
right into the classroom. It's at the core of everything we
teach. You learn more than massage techniques. You learn how to
tap into your compassion so you can put those techniques into
practice for the greater good. And that's the highest education
standard of all.

teach. Actively engaged in the field, Cortiva teachers are chosen
