LEADING VIA EXCELLENCE
CORE Institute programs are based in science, taught by leading therapists, and fine tuned through hands-on experience. CORE Ongoing education programs are the most detailed and precise available. While CORE Massage School student pass rates for the National board Certification are significantly higher than both Florida and national averages.

PERSONAL FOCUS
CORE faculty and staff interact with students as peers, sharing common experiences and staying connected well beyond the time they spend together in the classroom – each enriching the other’s life.

SOMATIC EDUCATORS
Derived from the Greek word for body (soma), the expression “Somatic Educators” is part of the philosophy of the CORE Institute. This is where students advance their foundational, clinical knowledge while honoring the client’s ability to increase his or her neurosomatic awareness.
