Paradise, California. Jan. 28, 2012 - In celebration of the vibrant, knowledge-seeking life of Bonnie Prudden, the World Massage Festival has announced a new scholarship award to begin with the 7th Annual World Massage Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Bonnie Prudden, fitness pioneer and founder of Bonnie Prudden Myotherapy, passed away at her home in Tucson, Arizona, on Dec. 11, 2011. She was 97 years old. "You can't turn back the clock, but you can wind it up again," she told her students and patients, and that is how she lived her life.

In her honor, each year the festival will pick one name, at random, from all the therapists registered and attending the 2012 World Massage Festival. That person will never again pay a registration fee to attend future festivals.

All I can say is that Bonnie would have approved. She would be happy that the award is open to anyone and everyone. Her passion for helping others knew no boundries. The lessons she taught us went well beyond what we do in the treatment room. Wherever Bonnie was, music flowed, muscle moved and laughter abounded. Her teachings are integrated through all aspects of her students lives...from how we treat people with respect, kindness and compassion, to the importance of being and looking professional, keeping things in perspective and trying to find the humor even in a rotten situation. "Be there for each other" she would say. Remember her wisdom, her kindness, her magic.
