You can book a massage with a student therapist and I recommend making an appointment at least two weeks out. Katie at the desk will probably take your call. Great place great price

As a client, and alumni I can honestly say this school is top-notch! Whether you’re going to receive a massage, or want to get an education in massage therapy, you’re going to get a great experience.STUDENT CLINIC EXPERIENCE:The best part about getting a massage in the student clinic is the price! You can’t beat half priced massage ($30), especially when other clinics’ prices are on the rise. The students are always open to constructive criticism, and suggestions which makes for a productive session.MASSAGE THERAPY EDUCATION EXPERIENCE:The programs/education available at Cortiva are unparalleled. My favorite part about the curriculum style is the mix of hands-on and written/visual learning. They make an effort to reach all learning styles, and don’t leave anyone behind. The small class sizes makes it easy for everyone to get involved, and learn more. I highly recommend getting your massage therapy education here!

I am so thankful for enrolling in Cortivas massage program for many reasons. The education Ive received has been tremendous. The support throughout the program, both academic and personal, has been amazing. One of the things Ive loved the most though, has been the relationships Ive created along the way. Not just with fellow students, but with my instructors, mentors, Cortiva staff, and clients. There is a very special collection of people weaving their way in and out of these doors - so diverse, knowledgeable, and lovely. My life has become richer through my experiences here and Im very grateful.

I am a current student at Cortiva Scottsdale and I highly recommend it. Not only is Cortiva a wonderful place to get a massage but they are also a fantastic place to get a quality education. Cortiva strives to provide their students with the tools and knowledge to help them find their purpose in life. The staff and administrators create an environment like non I have ever experienced which allows you to be yourself and pushes you each and everyday to be a bette person, student and ultimately future massage therapist. The level of education you will receive from Cortiva Scottsdale will remain with you for your entire life and you will be forever grateful that you made the choice to become a part of the Cortiva family.

I began as a client and was so impressed with the quality of the massages I received, I enrolled as a student! Every time you walk in to Cortiva Institute - Scottsdale, you will be greeted by smiling, friendly faces, whether you are a client or a student. Faculty, staff and students are all one big family here. Everyone is so caring and dedicated, and is willing to help in any way, whether regarding juggling other life commitments with school, or with anything you may be struggling with during your learning. I have learned so much and am certain that I will be extremely well prepared for a successful future career as a massage therapist. I would highly recommend that anyone who may be thinking about this career come and experience Cortiva Scottsdale for him/herself!

Cortiva Institute in Scottsdale is an outstanding school. It is the top massage schools out there, and I couldn’t imagine going to a better program. The teachers and staff here at the school will bend over backwards to insure you get the Most you can out of their school. They prepare you to face the massage industry, and they couldn’t do a better job then they have been doing. I am so very proud to say that I go to this school, and honestly I would recommend this school to anyone, and everyone!!!

I have taught massage therapy for over 25 years. I have had the privilege to work as an instructor at Cortiva Institute Scottsdale for past 11 years. I am impressed by the level of education, experience and caring of every faculty member. The support of the administration and staff and the constant “we will do everything we can to help students succeed” attitude is always present. If a prospective student is looking for a massage school with focus on solid foundations of anatomy and physiology, therapeutic techniques, on-going community outreach andExcellent job placement, this is the school for you.

I graduated from Cortiva in the Fall of 2017. I transferred from Tucson and the Scottsdale location made the transition very easy. While going there, my classmates and instructors became more of an extended family. There were there to celebrate the good times, and help me work through the bad times. I highly recommend Cortiva Scottsdale!!

I’m a former Cortiva Student. I received my Massage Therapy License and have been working as a massage therapist for two years now. I cannot express how much cortiva instructors care for their students, they are there from the first day you step in to years after you graduate as they continue to communicate with you and offer any assistance with job placement. I highly recommend Cortiva Institute for anyone who is looking for a flexible, school for massage therapy. I look forward to taking my continuing education classes here!

When I first looked up Massage schools near me this was the first school that popped up, I toured it and enrolled the same day. The staff, students & environment was so welcoming and you feel right at home. I am now a graduate from Cortiva in Scottsdale and I’m beyond thankful for everyone and my education here. ❤️

I graduated from Cortiva in 2016. I met some really great people there--students and teachers alike. Classes were interesting and the clinic was well-organized. Its a great place to learn as well as a great place to receive a massage.

Cortiva is a great school, the instructor are very knowledgeable as most of them have been in the massage therapy field for many years. The education I am receiving there is far above the industry standard. I know when I graduate any job I get will be a piece of cake because the training I am getting at Cortiva is so thorough.

I absolutely love being a student at Cortiva Institute. Being one of only 20 students in a classroom really allows me to get to know the faculty and seek out the help and support I need when I need it. No matter what obstacles come up theres always someone to talk to who is happy to help you and support you. I have never learned in such a supportive environment.

Cortiva in Scottsdale really makes a difference in someones life. Whether it be just for schooling or personal issues. I had a few downs during my schooling and the staff really took their time to help and make sure I could finish my schooling with them so I could graduate as an LMT. This is a campus for learning that wont let you down.

Whether you are seeking a quiet break from the stresses of life or an exciting, progressive career change, look no further! Cortivas level of professionalism paired with an extensively, trained staff is nearly unmatched in this industry. After either a seven and a half month fast track program or nightly twelve month classes, Cortivas massage students are able to go toe to toe with personal trainers and medical professionals when it comes to anatomy. The program is intense, but incredibly rewarding with nationwide lifetime job placement! Come by and talk with Shaun to see for yourself.

I graduated from Cortiva in October of 2017, and after I graduated I understood how important their curriculum is for a successful LMT. There is quite a bit of test work and practice throughout the year but its usefulness will show when you are out in the field. Thank you all.

Since I first started in June this Insitiute has done everything to make sure I reach my goal in becoming a Massage Therapist. Seriously just from the students when first starting out the program we all grew together and helped each other, in ex. study groups and project ideas or papers. The staff literally knows your name, from the teachers to the president of Cortiva. This place is my second home. Im glad I chose this location because I never wouldve had the support and help that Brittnay, Kallie, the caring staff and my classmates gave me that has helped me get this far in my education.

I can absolutely say that this school changed my life completely. Everyone from my absolutely phenomenal teachers to the amazing admin staff that we have along with the fabulous women that run our front desk as well as the generous people that come into our clinic, and allow us as students to practice working on their bodys to further our education.Cortiva provides us with an extremely meticulous curriculum while simutaneously captivating & preparing us with a comprehensive science/evidence based program of studies. They go over an array of subjects such as, as many as 6 different diseases to treat for each system of the body, numerous treatment plans for the most common injuries sustained, & even how to work with and on specified populations.Granted trials & tribulations will continually appear throughout everyones lives, yet regardless of the challenges i may encounter, thanks to Cortiva & the things ive learned during my journey towards becoming a significant component in the advancement of beneficial massage on the effects of Oncology. Our staff never let me give up, no matter how hard it got for me, they were always there encouraging me & pushing me along the way to strive for success!! Thank you all for every last little thing you all have done for me! Yall are the best!! I cant wait to walk across that stage in 5 weeks!
