A MESSAGE FROM FRAN & LINDA

Our challenge in surpassing the stringent requirements of Therma-Scan Reference Laboratory who has been the industry leader since 1972 is to find individuals who emulate integrity, attention to technical detail and possess the world’s best people skills on the planet. We are proud of our team, and we can easily say their infra-red camera and computer skills for thermography are among the best in the country. This is why we are confident it is time to say thank you and retire. We will continue to be available, however we are no longer active in the day-to-day operations.

Linda's 30 years as a critical care nurse in Canada, the US and several years abroad led her to the "world of alternative medicine". In 1990, with a deep desire for her patients to heal and empower themselves, Linda began exploring alternative methods for maintaining health. She trained in therapeutic massage, subtle energy techniques, and allergy elimination obtaining an advanced certification in Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET), certified in Bio-SET, certified in Jaffrey-Mellor Technique and an advanced practitioner in the highly sensitive, energetic NeuroModulation Technique. She continues to offer these gifts with phone consultations only.

Fran after years in corporate America was inspired by a life-altering healing experience to graduated chiropractic school in 1987. After years of practice in NY, she went on to be Executive Director of an energy-based seminar firm, co-partner of an EMF protection company, held roles for two non-profits and remains on the Board of the Conscious Living Foundation.

Both Linda & Fran trust Therma-Scan Reference Laboratory for decades for their own scans, in 2011 created their mobile service (AKA Adelpha Breast Thermography, and in 2019 was asked to take on the main office in SE Michigan.

Andrea McQueen

Andrea is a gift we happily share with you. She joined us in 2019 when we expanded from the mobile service to incorporating the main office for Therma-Scan Reference Laboratory who after 50+ years moved to AZ. Quite amazingly, she found us through a posting to a private Facebook group she had no connection to. After undergoing a stringent and extensive training program here at Therma-Scan, Andrea has far surpassed our standards as well as taken on the on-site management. Now that Linda & Fran are moving toward retirement, Andrea will be coordinating all our services.

Always striving for the best, prior to joining our team Andrea became a Certified Medical Biller only to quickly learn it was unrewarding. Why? We have all come to realize she shines best when utilizing her true strengths: connecting with people in a way to bring ease and joy to everyone’s hearts, as well as a few laughs! Her quick problem-solving abilities are excellent, most likely fine-tuned by raising her five beautiful children who keep her active and young. She also loves books, crocheting and caring for what she refers to as “her quiet children”, her plants.

Loriann Allen

Loriann has been utilizing Therma-Scan thermography as part of her complete breast health program since 2010! She worked in corporate payroll for 26 years. Although she excelled in this career, she was finding it more and more unrewarding, and was missing really connecting with people. Then after a health crisis in 2005, she started searching for alternative ways to heal chronic illness.

This is where her journey began in holistic health and the natural healing process. Loriann graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition out of New York in 2019, where she received her Health Coaching Certificate. She studied with some of the world’s top health and wellness experts including Andrew Weil MD, Mark Hyman MD, Mark Bittman, Joel Fuhrman MD and many others. Her education at IIN equipped her with extensive cutting-edge knowledge in holistic nutrition, health coaching and prevention using practical lifestyle management techniques. In addition, she completed the ”Nourishing Thyroid Health Program” with Andrea Beaman in 2021, where she learned holistic and natural approaches to healing the Thyroid. In spring of 2022, she earned a certificate from Andrea Beaman for completing her New Healers Master Coaching course. This course taught her how to use ancient wisdom of Visual and Meridian Diagnosis, while learning how to tweak a client’s diet and lifestyle to empower the healing process. And of course, joined us in 2022 as well.

Loriann is very excited to join the team, and especially in serving our mobile locations, and we are just as excited to welcome her.

Shannon joined us for extensive and advanced training in early 2023, though she is hardly new to us. Her first thermogram was in 2008. She obviously embraces thermography as a safe, reliable modality, and it has become part of her holistic approach to healthcare. Besides annual thermograms, Shannon strives to eat organic unprocessed foods, take morning walks before the day starts, and supplements her diet with vitamins and minerals. She has shared often that: “thermography provides a safe noninvasive option to mammograms that I believe to be important for overall health, and general well-being”.

Shannon has a B.S. degree from John Carroll University, and an MBA from Loyola University. Although she is new to the healthcare field, she has been through Therma-Scan of Michigan’s intensive training, far and above industry standards. We are as excited as she is to have her on the team and she looks forward to helping woman in an area that she feels passionate about. She is beautifully in service to our patients.

Shannon and her husband Jeff have 2 children. She enjoys cooking, walking and reading, especially on her screened porch.
