Circle of Comfort is a registered Scottish charity which offers reflexology, massage or aromatherapy treatments to people in Fife and Perthshire who are living with the side effects of cancer, multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease.
In 2005 charity founder Roseann Haig started her journey as a complementary therapist for people with a life shortening diagnosis. After completing her BSc in Complementary Therapies from Napier University and setting up her own business, she responded to a call-out from the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy for volunteers to deliver complementary treatments to patients.
And so Roseann began working with terminally ill cancer patients in the hospice at Queen Margaret Hospital, Dunfermline.
The charity was launched in November 2007 and was named Circle of Comfort in memory of the “comfort” that Pamela, one of Roseann’s early patients, had told Roseann she felt after her complementary therapy treatments.
Circle of Comfort will usually provide four free complementary therapy treatments from reflexology, massage, aromatherapy treatments.
