Letter from the Campus Director
Welcome to Cortiva Institute – Scottsdale, School of Massage Therapy. Our commitment is to provide an exceptional training program that enables our graduates to help and facilitate the healing process of people in any area of the bodywork industry. Through our professional massage therapy programs, our students gain an understanding and appreciation for serving human beings through touch. They become competent in the application of a variety of hands-on techniques, giving them confidence to work with any client that comes their way. They are trained to speak effectively about the benefits of bodywork expanding the possibilities of healing for future clients. Between the classroom hours of hands-on practice and experience working on the public in our clinical internship, our graduates are ready to begin their professional career.
Through the excellent education we offer and from our committed faculty, our students also learn the secret that all massage therapists know. They learn that every time they touch someone with their trained and caring hands and compassionate heart, they make a difference. There is not one person out there who will not benefit from their skilled hands.
Massage therapy is a wonderful profession. It is a profession that is beneficial to both the therapist and client. It is work that one can truly love and work that gives one energy. It can be a rich adventure into self-growth and personal development. I am always honored and amazed as I watch my students grow during their educational program, graduate with pride and knowledge and start a life long path of sharing their gifts through touch. I am excited that you will be one of these students.
Sincerely,
Mark Elliott, Campus Director
