Emily Habgood
Thermographer
Emily brings a wealth of experience in thermography, specialising in the early detection and prevention of health concerns through advanced thermal imaging technology.
As a certified thermographer, I have worked closely with individuals to assess inflammation, vascular activity, and other physiological changes that may indicate underlying health conditions. My focus is on providing non-invasive, radiation-free screenings that empower people to take a proactive approach to their well-being.
I was drawn to thermography as a powerful tool for preventative healthcare, offering insights that traditional imaging methods may overlook. Over time, I have expanded my practice to support individuals seeking a holistic approach to monitoring their health, particularly in areas such as breast health, chronic pain, and circulatory disorders.
My goal is to help people make informed decisions about their health by providing accurate and insightful thermal imaging assessments.
