Preserva Institute · Student Clinic
Student Services
Fifty minutes with a student in their final training, in a real treatment room, with a licensed instructor in the room. Same care, lower price — because your appointment is part of their required hours.
What this is
A working clinic, not a classroom demo
Our student clinic is where massage therapy and esthetics students complete the hands-on hours their licence requires. They work on real clients, on real appointments, in the treatment rooms our graduates go on to work in.
A licensed instructor is present for every session, checking technique, draping, hygiene and your comfort. That supervision is why a 50-minute session is $45 here, while a 60-minute massage at our Med Spa is $85 — you are not booking a cheaper service, you are booking a supervised one.
The room you get. Every appointment runs in a treatment room set up like this one — fresh linens, a stocked trolley, curtains closed, and a licensed instructor on the floor.
Set up before you arrive. Your student makes the bed, lays out the towels and products, and changes everything between clients.

- Swedish and deep-tissue technique
- Professional draping throughout
- Pressure adjusted to you, not to the clock
$45Student Facial
Cleanse, exfoliation, extractions where appropriate, mask, facial massage and finishing care — chosen for your skin on the day. Your student reviews your skin and your goals with you first.

Before you come in
Please do, please don’t
A student’s clinic hours only count if the appointment happens. These few habits keep the clinic running for everyone.
Please do
Small things that make the hour work.
- Arrive 10 minutes early. The schedule is built around your slot.
- Reschedule at least 24 hours ahead if you cannot make it — a no-show costs a student hours they need.
- Try different students, male and female. Every student needs practice, and you will find the hands that suit you.
- Say what you like. Pressure, room temperature, music, conversation — they are learning to ask.
- Disclose health conditions when you book. Pregnancy, recent surgery, blood thinners, allergies, skin conditions, injuries.
- Shower before a massage and arrive with clean skin for a facial.
- Give honest feedback at the end. It is part of their grade and the most useful thing you can give them.
- Ask for a different student next time if the fit was not right. No hard feelings, no explanation needed.
Please don’t
These are the ones that cost a student their hours.
- Do not cancel at the last minute or no-show. One empty table is one student who cannot finish their hours.
- Do not undress completely for a massage. You are professionally draped at all times and underwear stays on.
- Do not book while you are sick or contagious. Call and move it instead.
- Do not bring children or extra guests. The clinic waiting area is small.
- Do not take phone calls in the treatment room. Silence it and leave it in your bag.
- Do not photograph or record other clients or students. Phones stay away in shared areas.
- Do not wear strong perfume or cologne. Therapists work close, and other clients react.
- Do not ask a student for a private or outside appointment. It is against school policy and puts their licence at risk.
- Do not arrive late and expect the full time. The service ends when the slot ends.

Every session runs with a licensed instructor in the room.
Clinic policies & questions
The rules, and what people ask first
Every clinic policy, then the questions people ask before their first visit.
Reschedule or cancel at least 24 hours before your appointment. A late cancellation or no-show leaves a student without the clinic hours they need to graduate, so repeated no-shows may be charged for the slot.
If you arrive late, your session still ends at its scheduled time so the next client and the student’s schedule are not affected. Arriving more than 15 minutes late may mean rescheduling.
You are professionally draped at all times and only the area being worked on is exposed. Underwear stays on. You can stop the session or ask for an adjustment at any point.
The clinic waiting area is small and the treatment rooms are shared. Please come alone unless you need a support person, and let us know when you book.
Tell us when you book if you are pregnant, had recent surgery, take blood thinners, have allergies, a skin condition or an injury, or are being treated for a medical condition. Some services are adjusted or postponed, and your student’s instructor may ask for a doctor’s clearance.
Payment is taken when you book through the online calendar. To book by phone or pay in person, call the front desk at (863) 314-8940.
Esthetician students may accept tips, and every dollar goes straight to the student. Massage students legally cannot accept tips — that rule follows the licence, not the clinic. If you would like to give something after a massage, it can go to the class graduation fund, the one that pays for the students’ graduation party. Yes, the charcuterie one.
A Preserva student in the final stage of their massage therapy or esthetics program, working on clients to complete the hours their licence requires. They do not work unsupervised: an instructor is in the room for every appointment.
Yes. A licensed instructor is in the room for every appointment, supervising technique, draping, hygiene and your comfort — and will step in if anything needs correcting. If a service is not appropriate for you on the day, the instructor will say so before it starts.
Yes. Name the student when you book if you have one in mind, and ask for them again next time. Availability depends on where each student is in their program.
No. For massage you undress to your comfort level and underwear stays on; you are draped at all times and only the area being worked on is exposed. For a facial you stay fully clothed from the shoulders down.
Tell us when you book. Pregnancy, recent surgery, blood thinners, allergies, skin conditions and injuries all change what is appropriate, and some services are adjusted or postponed. Your instructor may ask for a doctor’s clearance.
Yes. The five-session massage and facial packs are $175 each, and the Wellness Combo is $70 — all three are bought on the booking page under Packages, each with its own add-to-cart. To give one as a gift, ask at the front desk and they will set it up.
If your student is studying esthetics, yes — tips are welcome and 100% goes to them. If your student is studying massage, they legally cannot accept a tip; if you would like to give something, it goes to the class graduation fund that pays for their graduation party. Either way, ask at the front desk and they will point you the right way.
