  • The massage was just what I needed, the manner in which my muscles were worked was very thorough, and the therapist hand was working hard to find the problems in my muscles. And so...this was a neuromuscular massage to fix an injury and I feel like it’s working well.

  • Just amazing. I have a tight back and she made me feel like new. This was my first massage and I just booked the next 3 months. I highly recommend!

  • I love my massages from Cortney! She has a fabulous, relaxing room and a great touch! I generally prefer a medium touch massage for my maintenance routine of massage but she has broad skills and gives a deep massage when the need arises. Manual lymphatic drainage is not a skill you find everywhere and great when you need it! I am a retired massage therapist and picky when it comes to massage. Cortney is a great find!

About Cortney

Cortney Santos, LMT, CLT

Hello and thank you for being here. I am the hands and face behind Colysa Therapies. I have been a Massage Therapist for over 17 years, licensed in New Jersey, and trained in Therapeutic and Oncology Massage Therapy. I am a Certified Lymphedema Therapist and have training in multiple lymphatic techniques. I love the work that I do and the difference that I make in my client’s lives. There's no better feeling than someone leaving my office and feeling better than they have in a long time!

I take an integrated approach to my work, using multiple advanced lymphatic techniques to achieve optimal results. I am a proud ACOLS (Academy Of Lymphatic Studies) alumni and through them, I have received my Vodder training as a Certified Lymphedema Therapist, Post Plastic Surgery Lymphatic Specialist, and Oncology Considerations for Lymphatic Therapists. I did my initial training with the MLD Institute Int’l Bachelor Level Certification in 2022 and since then have taken many advanced lymphatic training courses such as Lymphatic Mojo and Glymphatic Mojo classes with Dr. Perry Nickelston of Stop Chasing Pain, and various courses with Kathleen Lisson, CLT, including Plastic Surgery Recovery and Fibrosis, Massage after Tummy Tuck, and Massage after Facelift.  I received my Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage Massage training from Celebrity Massage Therapist, Josie Rushing.

Lymphatic work is incredibly powerful and even life-changing. The benefits are countless and the results are amazing! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out by phone, email, or fill out the contact form at the bottom of the page! I'm always happy to talk and answer all of your questions.

About Tasha

Hi, I’m Tasha! I’m originally from North Carolina, but I’m so excited to begin this new chapter in New Jersey. I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2025. My passion for massage and bodywork began long before I became a therapist. I have always been fascinated by anatomy and how the body works, and helping people feel better through massage is what I truly enjoy.

I specialize in identifying and addressing the root cause of pain and dysfunction. I take a personalized approach to each one of my sessions, taking into account to each person’s needs and wants. No cookie cutter massages here!

I graduated from a neuromuscular massage school and I’m a Certified Medical Massage Practitioner. I am also a Certified Lymphatic Therapist with additional specialized training in post-operative lymphatic drainage through the Academy of Lymphatic Studies (ACOLS). I have extensive training in Buccal and TMJ massage. My techniques include neuromuscular therapy, trigger point, active release, deep tissue massage, and Swedish massage.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. Since I’m new to New Jersey, I’m looking forward to exploring new restaurants and local favorites. I also have a special place in my heart for animals, and spending time with them is my happy place.

I’m excited to join Colysa Therapies and look forward to meeting you and helping you feel your best.
