To describe my personal experience I’ll begin at the end with the thing I took away from the experience, in three simple words; peace of mind. Not knowing such a thing even existed before I met Suzanne Sutherland I have to say I was almost skeptical about breast Thermography. I’m sure this is not an unusual starting point. But I then allowed myself to be open to this experience and soon realized it’s potential. I think every woman will have a very individual experience with this, depending on her breast health awareness and medical history. Right upon entry to Suzanne’s home and clinic, I observed the consideration she put into the welcoming and comfort of her clients. The gentle aromatherapy of Lavender, the velvety curtains separating her living space from her work space and her generally comforting personality all worked together to relax me. In the room where the Thermography takes place, you sit and cool down and she explains how the camera takes the images, and the monitor shows the temperature(in amazing detail) of your body. A series of images is taken at specific angles. The images are later sent to a specialist who then analyzes them with the use of charts and numbers and then sends the results back to Suzanne who in turn shares them with the clients. Each woman can decide for herself what steps to take regarding the results which she can later discuss with her doctor. The beauty of Breast Thermography is in the simplicity of it. Health and wellness are something we can all affect in our own ways every day and with education and awareness. Breast Thermography gives us a way of monitoring our individual health from a preventative perspective or at least offers an alternative monitoring method that is at the very least low impact and painless.
