Thermography with Whole Health Thermography

We are partnering with Rachel Mazzarelli of Whole Health Thermography in order to offer thermographic screenings!

Thermography is a cutting-edge imaging technique that captures infrared heat patterns emitted by the body. This non-invasive and radiation-free method allows us to observe temperature variations and energy flow, providing valuable insights into your overall health and well-being.

Key Benefits:

  • Early Detection - thermography can detect subtle changes in heat patterns, potentially allowing for early detection of issues before they manifest as symptoms

  • Non-Invasive - unlike traditional diagnostic methods, thermography requires no contact with the body, making it a comfortable and stress-free experience

  • Holistic Insight - thermography provides a holistic view of the body, allowing us to understand the interconnectedness of different areas and systems

  • Personalized Wellness - by analyzing thermal patterns, our holistic practitioners can tailor wellness plans to address specific areas of concern and promote overall balance

During a thermography session, a thermal camera captures images that reflect the heat emitted by your body. These images are then analyzed by our trained professionals to identify temperature variations and potential areas of interest. The process is quick, painless, and offers valuable information about your body's unique thermal fingerprint.

Is Thermography Right for You? Whether you're proactively monitoring your health or seeking additional insights to complement your holistic wellness journey, thermography may be the perfect fit. We are here to guide you through the process and help you gain a deeper understanding of your body's energy dynamics.
