Thermography is a compression and radiation-free screening tool that’s used to monitor breast health to detect physiological changes that may be early warning signs of a disease process. CT Thermog- raphy’s focus is on providing the highest quality thermal imaging and individualized care for our clients. As a Certifi ed Thermographic technician, I help empower women to take a proactive approach following their thermography screening for optimal breast health.

1. Why are you passionate about your specialty? I am passionate about informing women that Breast Thermog-
raphy exists! I became a Certifi ed Thermographic technician be- cause I’ve had girlfriends diagnosed with cancer in their 30’s after fi nding a breast lump. Unfortunately, there isn’t a routine breast screening that is advised for women under age 40. There are also women who have inconclusive mammograms or dense breast tis- sue where mammography is known to be less effective. In my opinion Breast Thermography can help fi ll the void for younger women and can also provide valuable information pertaining to one’s breast health, at any age.
2. What sets you apart from other businesses in the holistic fi eld? What sets CT Thermography apart is our high-quality imag-
ing. The value thermal imaging brings to our clients and referring practitioners is a visual record of infl ammation or excessive heat in the body which helps to pinpoint areas of concern. Everyone has a unique thermal “fi ngerprint”. When these images are moni- tored over time, we can accurately see recent changes to those thermal patterns refl ective of a physiological process. By adding full body thermography to your health practice, you can help take the guesswork out of diagnostics.
3. Tell us about the best memory you have about being a holistic practitioner.
One memory that stands out is my fi rst client that was diagnosed with stage II breast cancer following a baseline thermogram and biopsy, just 2 weeks after having her annual mammogram. As she states, “Breast thermography saved my life by fi nding something mammography did not.” Knowing the value of Breast Thermogra- phy, I am reminded of this memory each time a client walks into my offi ce.
4. What plans do you have for the future for your practice?
CT Thermography is a relatively new and growing practice. In ad- dition to our main center located in Farmington, we recently opened a satellite offi ce in Glastonbury. In the future, we look forward to opening more offi ces throughout Connecticut, as more women are searching out Breast Thermography because of its many benefi ts.

The Spa at Litchfi eld Hills T
he Spa at Litchfi eld Hills offers massage, mani- cure, pedicure, skincare and stress reduction.
1. What are your favorite treatments? Our favorite treatments at The Spa this winter for
stress reduction and immune prevention are lava or cryo shell mas- sages, manicures, and pedicures. These hot and cold therapy services are the perfect treatment to relax and also help boost your immune system, especially during the winter months. We can all use a health and healing boost with cold and fl u season just around the corner.
2. Tell us about some of the treatments?
During the cryo shell massage, we use hot lava shells or cold glacial shells to massage the muscles which instantly soothe aches and pains. The shells are crafted with real seashells and porcelain to glide smoothly over the skin during the massage. These special shells with the combined massage techniques stimulate the muscles and skin allowing them to reap some in- credible health benefi ts. The benefi ts of cryotherapy treatments include increasing circulation, reducing infl ammation, and boosting collagen production which ultimately improves elas- ticity in the skin. The lava shells have impressive health benefi ts too. These include relaxing sore muscles, reducing swelling, and promoting skin regeneration by transferring calcium ions directly from the heated shells to your skin.
3. Why should readers visit The Spa?
These treatments and taking care of your body in general are cumulative, so you will see and feel results with each treatment leading to a healthier immune system and a happier mind. Spa treatments are not just about the physical service, but also giving yourself a short time to truly relax and be at ease. Even if you’re not able to make it to The Spa, it’s important to treat yourself at home in some kind of way. For hot and cold therapy treatments at home, we love wrapping a hot towel or heat wrap around sore muscles, or laying with a frozen migraine mask for a few minutes. Shop our boutique for some at-home self-care products and treat- ments! We’re so excited to be offering these amazing hot and cold therapy treatments with the shells at The Spa since they’re such a great tool for skincare, bodywork, and stress reduction. We hope you all love them too! We want to thank you for nomi- nating us as winners in Natural Nutmeg’s 10BEST 2020 Reader Nominated Awards for Massage Therapy/Bodywork and Estheti- cian/Holistic Spa. We’re so grateful for your support!
