Campus Facility & Features
Cortiva Institute in St. Petersburg is in a two-story building that was renovated for us in 2017. Our campus features two new Skin Care labs with equipment similar to what you would find in professional spas and spacious work areas. For Massage Therapy students, our campus facilities have four multipurpose massage classrooms to accommodate both hands-on learning and lecture settings.
At Cortiva Institute St. Petersburg, we have 15 instructors on staff to teach students everything they need to know to establish themselves in their chosen field and find success in their careers. We have been teaching massage therapy in this area for nearly four decades, which has enabled us to develop valuable relationships with many local employers looking to hire our graduates. Some of the many employers that we continuously work with include local spas and salons, high-end resorts, chiropractic offices, Massage Envy, and Hand and Stone. We love being a part of the local community here, so our staff and students regularly participate and have the opportunity to volunteer at local 5k runs and races, a variety of drives for community shelters, and many other events here in the Tampa Bay area.
