Welcome to the Cortiva Institute - Florida!

training program which provides excellence in curriculum, educational
resources, alumni services, faculty, and staff. Our 27 years of local
experience in the field of massage education and Cortiva Institute's 200
years of collective national experience in massage education combine to
yield a valuable resource center for our students and alumni. Students
know and trust us because of our reputation and experience - they choose
us because of our customer service and expertise.
We make it easy for prospective students to start their career in massage
therapy. Our staff enjoys making the admissions and financial aid process
a smooth one, and our students welcome your questions when you tour the
facility or visit during an Open House or personal tour. Our location
