The first deployment to New York City of the Carolina Emergency Relief Massage Team occurred November 3-12, 2001. Five team members gave aromatherapy chair massage to over 300 firefighters, and police at stations, and at the Medical Examiners office, and to social workers and psychologists thru Safe Horizons agency offices. For many, it was their first introduction to aromatherapy as well. The initial aromatic donations were given out to those in need. They were truly grateful for our loving contribution to the relief of the suffering and fatigue in NYC.
