As an educator, I share my knowledge and witness as students make this knowledge their own through the learning process. You learn the material and make it your own. The beauty of massage is that we each have the opportunity to develop our own unique style and special way of touching others. This too, inspires me.

Cortiva Institute is devoted to raising the standards of massage therapy education. We believe that science and technique aren't enough. Using a comprehensive approach to massage therapy training – one that incorporates the best of both science and spirit – we prepare our students for successful practices in many different professional settings.

Our curriculum is grounded in the belief that scientific foundations and inspirational, real-life experiences create passionate massage therapy professionals. As a student, you'll benefit from a comprehensive combination of hands-on classroom instruction, clinic work and community outreach. After graduation, we'll support you with ongoing learning opportunities through continuing education, lectures and workshops.

Our Massage Therapy Certification Program is a holistic and hands-on approach to massage. You'll be challenged and inspired to create your own individual career path, whether that means working in a hospital, clinic, spa, health club, or your own private practice. Training covers three top areas of study:

Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology
Coursework in Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology provides a solid foundation in understanding the structure, function and health of the human body. You'll learn proper medical terminology that is actively reinforced in classroom experiences.

Massage Therapy and Practice
Master fundamental techniques in a classroom setting and practice them in a supervised and supportive environment. We also provide training in body mechanics and self-care so that you can enjoy a long and healthy professional career. In addition to your Theory and Practice courses, hands-on training in the Student Clinic and in our Community Outreach program will further prepare you to interact with clients.

Professional Development
We provide you with the business basics necessary to succeed as a professional. With the help of your Instructors, you'll define goals and markets to create a successful practice. Exercises in goal setting, writing a resume, creating a business plan, marketing, advertising, and self-management start you on the path to success. When you're completed your curriculum, you'll walk away with the tools to establish your own practice or apply for the right job for you.
