"The fragrance of beautiful hearts anddeeds."

When she first began her job as anaromatherapist, Nicole Wu never dreamed that she would go from serving the wealthiestTaiwanese women in luxurious spas to serving the poorest of the poor at asimple hospital in Taitung. But in 2009, she gave up everything -a well-payingjob in Taipei, a nice home and closeness to family - to dedicate herself to thegreat needs of Taitung. 

Devastated by the mass flooding in 2009,hundreds of empty-handed victims couldn't eat or sleep. Instead of taking asleeping pill, they lined up for aromatherapy massage led byNicole. Aromatherapy is a non-invasive therapeutic technique that utilizesessential oils to calm, relax and invigorate the body.  This provedto be a great success.

After this, St. Mary's Hospital introducedaromatherapy to help the elderly and patients with regular oil massage.Aromatherapy is used widely in St. Mary's Hospice Program to soothe the pain ofpatients and improve their quality of sleep. We teach the family members ofterminal cancer patients how to massage. A gratified family member once said,"Thank you, my mother passed in fragrance." A Sister on her deathbedwith terminal cancer told all of her fellow Sisters "You have to learnaromatherapy!" The hospital has been praised because of its use ofaromatherapy through various assessments and evaluations. 

But aromatherapy isn't justfor hospice. It has become an integral part of the hospital and is offered toregular patients, diabetic patients, family members as well as hospitalstaff. Additionally Teacher Nicole provides aromatherapy educationcourses for the public.
