Cortiva Institute was born from a dream. A dream to create a new paradigm of massage therapy education. One that meets the unique challenges of the 21st century. As a group of business leaders inspired by the work of gifted massage educators, Cortiva's founders realized that their expertise could address the increasing demand for qualified massage therapists by launching a dynamic model of massage education. One that promotes national collaboration and shared resources. One that values excellence, integrity, and effectiveness. One that prepares passionate people for successful careers. One that honors humanity through healing touch. And Cortiva was born. Pre-fab we're not. We're proud of the rich experience and perspective that each of our schools brings to the whole. And while each one is unique in setting, history, and emphasis, all Cortiva schools share the core values of integrity, quality, holism, compassion, and community. That's the core in Cortiva.
