Welcome
rest, relax, and recuperate
The Lavender Touch are proud to have provided 20 years’ of support to those living with cancer in the Scottish Borders.
Living with cancer can be a difficult time for all involved, often causing symptoms such as pain and discomfort, stress, anxiety and insomnia.
We provide various services and therapeutic treatments tailored to bring relief and relaxation to those living with cancer – and their loved ones and carers.
We provide treatments that allow you the time to rest, relax, and recuperate during your cancer experience.
The Lavender Touch help to fund a completely confidential service to help people – and their loved ones and carers – who are finding the side effects of cancer and its treatment difficult.
We fund therapeutic treatments, including massages, reflexology, and aromatherapy, provided by a pool of qualified therapists. Our services are tailored to suit each patient’s needs and developed with the assistance of your NHS Borders health professional, encompassing a holistic approach to aid recovery.
If you and your healthcare professionals feel you could benefit from our services, they can submit a referral to our Therapies Coordinator.
