New Outreach Program

Is it possible to really make a difference one massage at a time? Pre-term infants... firefighters... Pan Mass Challenge cyclists... for over thirty years, our students, graduates, and staff have shared their time and skills in bringing therapeutic massage to the greater Boston area. From the Boston Marathon to the Aids Action Committee to the Cambridge Fire Department , we've volunteered in many diverse sites. We've got a lot of experience, and we're excited some new developments in our Outreach offerings. Cortiva Institute - Boston students have many meaningful opportunities to become involved.

Outreach presents a win-win situation for everyone involved. The events serve the community by introducing massage therapy to individuals who may never have received massage. Students can practice their chair massage and sports massage techniques in diverse settings with support from staff and attending professional therapists. It's a great way to get more experience working with the public. Both students and graduates welcome the opportunity to network with colleagues and potential clients. As more people experience the effect of skilled touch, they may seek out professional massage as an ongoing part of their health and wellness care. Most importantly, the Outreach program provides a regular way for our school community to help make a healing difference. 

From the Newton Wellesley Hospital to Boston University , our new Outreach efforts have been appreciated.  Everyone who participated in these events understood how touch can help to heal both body and spirit.

We encourage any student or graduate who is interested in joining our Outreach Team to contact Amy Stone at (617) 668-1000, ext. 3013 or at astone@cortiva.com   for more information.
