specializing in breast thermography
Dawn Belden, MA, is a Clinical Certified Thermographer. She has a background in holistic education – bringing integrated curriculum to distance learning programs. She is also a learning styles consultant and has a strong foundation in individualized and personalized education. She has studied with Jean Houston and Thich Nhat Hanh, among others, and has co-lead teen retreats in Mindfulness and Awareness, affiliated with UCLA.
Dawn is excited to partner with Jackie in order to provide the best service possible to their clients. She feels that thermography gives people a way to actually see, through imagery, the efficacy of their bodies. When clients are able to see themselves in such a way they become effective and pro-active in monitoring and orchestrating their health; thermography empowers clients to be agents of change in a self-directed and supported way.
Dawn is passionate about alternative medicine and used it almost exclusively, to great result, with her daughter and son’s neurological and stomach issues. She feels that because of the pervasive toxicity in the environment resulting in the nearly epidemic numbers of cancer we must have ways to ameliorate and track the effects in our bodies.
Thermography is non- violating, non- invasive, and holistic. It gives an integrated view of the body by providing pictures of our own unique patterns – a blueprint of wholeness, reinforcing the fact that we are not made up of disconnected parts, but rather a weave of interacting neurological and physiological processes.
Ms. Kane and Ms. Belden encourage women, and the men whose lives they touch, to educate themselves about the option of breast thermography and make wise decisions after considering all the information available. Thermography is not a substitute for other medically necessary procedures which may be recommended by your doctor.
The Thermography Center of Santa Barbara has locations in Santa Barbara, Ojai, Ventura, Santa Monica, Westlake, Topanga Canyon, and San Luis Obispo. The centers’ feature state of the art technology and all thermal reports are read by medical doctors who are board certified by the American College of Clinical Thermology.
The Thermography Center’s goal is to make breast thermography as common and vital as your annual pap test, as well as affordable. The first step to avoiding breast cancer is educating women and empowering them to make decisions based on sound holistic options.
The Thermography Center now offers upper body and full body thermography for men and women for the screening of disease and pain throughout the body.
Dawn brings a wealth of experience in compassionate care combined with practical application to the Thermography Centers practice. Dawn resides in Ojai California with her family.

The Thermography Center of Santa Barbara grew out of the deep personal passion of Jackie Kane. Her deep commitment to healthy, holistic alternatives to women’s health, especially the issue of breast cancer, inspired her to open a thermography center focused on women's breast health. “I am committed and passionate about educating women about breast thermography and searched for a way to offer life saving options to protect women’s health and well being. Opening a breast
Ms. Kane goes on to state, “Breast thermography is a completely safe procedure which is non-invasive thereby avoiding deep and dangerous compression of the breasts. It is an option and even adjunct to other imaging which avoids radiation from medical imaging which can be a contributing factor for increasing a woman's risk for developing breast cancer.
“Let me share with you my very personal experience. When I was a young adult my maternal grandmother, who helped raise me, died of breast cancer. Years later I felt compelled to get a mammogram just before my 38th birthday. When I received my one and only mammogram I felt on a deep intuitive level that it was, for me, extremely toxic and worst of all that the compression could force abnormal cells to disperse throughout the body. It hit me so hard – it was one of the clearest and deepest impressions I had ever experienced on an intuitive level! This is when I learned about the benefits of thermography.
Following that mammogram, I watched over the years as family members, friends of friends, and a very dear friend, were hit with the direct reality and impact of breast cancer. But now I knew there was something that could be done," states Kane. Because thermography offers early screening for the development of disease hot spots can be addressed through diet and nutrition before they become life threatening.
Jackie Kane can be heard regularly on national radio interviews educating the public about breast thermography, breast health and cancer prevention. She is a Certified Clinical Thermographer (CCT) living in
