★★★★★— Perri Byrne
Looking back on the education of Cortiva nearly 10 years ago now, I owe my life and love to this school. The thorough education was tough and now I understand why (I would compare it to boot camp style.) I may have been tough on myself at the time because the curriculum was a lot to digest, but coming out of it, I have become the best massage therapist for myself. I strive everyday in delivering body work the best I know how to others. From Anne Marie Ling to Tim, and the rest of the remarkable staff that was there at the time, thank you for being tough Massage Therapist Sargents. I hope you are all still doing well and 🎶 dont forget the bolster. That should absolutely be a musical

Working with my Admissions Representative, Mr. Jessie, has been truly life changing. From the very beginning, he showed nothing but respect, patience, and genuine care. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the Cortiva Institute program, but what stands out most is how invested he is in you as a person.
Mr. Jessie helped me see the bigger picture when it comes to my future career and my current life. During a time when I was searching for clarity and direction, he helped me believe in what’s possible and reminded me that it’s okay to choose better for myself and my family. His guidance gave me hope, confidence, and peace of mind about the path I’m on.
If you’re feeling stuck, ready for a change, or looking to create a better life for yourself or your family, I strongly encourage you to visit Cortiva Institute KOP location and schedule a tour with Mr. Jessie. Sometimes all it takes is the right person to help you see your potential and he truly does that.

Tatianna was the absolute best! This was my first experience and she made it so easy and welcoming for me. Hearing her goals and her passion being a massage therapist was truly inspiring. I would 100% recommend her if anyone is reading my review. I wish her the best of luck in her journey!! Thank you again, Tatianna! 💕

I wanted to take a moment and give a shout out to Bill Ensminger at Cortiva .
Bill went above and beyond to assist me in locating some information that I needed to obtain my License in NY
I graduated 26 years ago
It wasn’t easy finding records that far back because schools had changed or closed
Bill dug deep ,
Gave me other contacts and also followed up with me to give me more information
I so appreciated all the efforts Bill made ; and you could tell he truly wanted to help me .
I find that rare today in many businesses.
Thank You for being such a Rich example even when no one was watching
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank You so very much Bill
