Lavender Oil Massage at Casey House

Kathleen M.

As a Volunteer at Casey House, with each visit I have an opportunity to help sooth patients using the natural powers of touch and aroma.

When providing a patient with hand massage using fragrant lavender oil, I sense how the patient is gently lifted – if only for a while – as he or she approaches the completion of their journey.

Clenched fingers relax. Breathing deepens. A tense face becomes tranquil. I feel the grace and privilege of being one of Nature's many gateways.
