physical fitness, health care referral, relaxation and for no other purpose." In contrast, as quoted above, "Rosen Method touch is non-manipulative..." and has the goal "to enhance self- awareness". But the city might interpret it differently - hence this email. Does the city of Mounds View agree (that Rosen Method bodywork is not massage and thus does not require a therapist or enterprise license from the city), or does the city see it differently? It's worth adding that because this modality (Rosen Method bodywork) is not massage, the school in which I'm training (Rosen Method Open Center) and the body governing the profession (Rosen Institute) are not affiliated with any state or federal therapeutic massage accreditation bodies, so the school I'm training in would not be a "Recognized School" for massage therapy in terms of the ordinance. Accordingly, even once I complete the internship and am certified as a Rosen Method Bodywork practitioner, I will not be eligible for a massage therapy license. This points again to how Rosen Method is different from massage. Thus, if the city of Mounds View deems that Rosen Method bodywork falls under the therapeutic massage ordinance (and thus requires a therapeutic massage license), I would not be able to start my business in Mounds View -- I'd have to find office space in another city instead. Please may I have your guidance on whether I need a license to practise Rosen Method bodywork in Mounds View? If it's easier to talk on the phone, I'd be glad to receive a call at 651 315 2693. (I've tried to lay out my thinking & relevant background above, but I often find it's easier to understand each other with a phone call, especially if any of the above seems unclear.)
