Sister Rosalind Interview Completed!

The Legacy of Achievement of Sister Rosalind --Masssage pioneer and founder of the Sister Rosalind Schools and Clinics of Massage

Not too long ago, massage was associated with seedy massage parlors. Today, massage is exploding with the number of American adults getting massage doubling from 1997-2002. In 2003, this number grew to over 40 million, along with 260,000+ massage therapists and massage students.

Sister Rosalind Gefre has been widely recognized for her work in making massage an accepted healthcare practice. Her first massage center, opened in 1983, was shut down by the Vice Squad. A St. Paul Pioneer Press newspaper story "Nun's Massage Parlor Closed" was picked up by the media around the world. Continued publicity has brought celebrity status to Sister Rosalind. In 2002, she was featured in the Time Magazine story "Massage Goes Mainstream." Her growing "Massage Ministry" includes five massage school and seven massage clinics in two states. Over 10,000 people have attended her schools and hundreds of thousands have received massages because of her pioneering work.
