I am so happy to have another option available for breast screening. The images I received were comprehensive and gave me a peek at what was going on in my body. The thermography was non invasive and painless. -Rebekah T
Breast Thermography is a wonderful tool for self-care and monitoring overall health. I've been going to Gaea for over a year and have always felt comfortable and confident in her care. I appreciate her "no fear" approach to looking at health,knowing we can affect meaningful change with lifestyle and good wellness practices. I'm so grateful she has been a part of my health journey. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to monitor changes in their breast thermograms over time. - April H.
I was so thrilled when I discovered Central Coast Thermography a few years ago! Gaea is incredibly kind, knowledgeable,and thorough. She takes the time to make sure I understand exactly what I’m seeing and what areas or changes I should be mindful of.
The entire process is completely pain-free—and in fact, she doesn’t even have to touch me! It’s been such a gamechanger to have this option available to me as an alternative to traditional mammograms.
I’m so grateful to have found Central Coast Thermography and highly recommend Gaea to anyone looking for a comfortable, informative experience! - Aubree K.
Gaea was wonderful to work with! She is heartfelt and genuinely concerned with the health and well-being of her patients and it shows. I will definitely be back. - A.P.
I have known Gaea Powell for about eight years and she has been of great help to me by providing thermography images and arranging for their analysis. Thermography has given me peace of mind about my health and I greatly appreciate Gaea’s services over the years. I especially appreciate having an option for not having to have mammograms. She has always been kind and professional, and has being great about educating me about thermography. I have recommended her to many of my friends and family.

I'm happy to say that I've known Gaea for the past 9 years. I believe my very first Thermography was in 2017 in Atascadero. I'm so thankful that I found this approach to breast examination. From the very first time I met her she made me feel confident with the process .
Gaea has a wonderful calm and reassuring demeanor and the fact that she was part of the team of my functional doctor, reassured me that I was in the right place to get this type of exam done.
I have encouraged many others to take this same direction in getting it done at Central Coast Thermography. - Gail S.
Gaea was such a blessing to me. I was not going to have mammograms done any more, and I was so thankful that she was providing her thermography services here in our Central Coast area.
I also really was grateful that I could watch her video prior to going in my first time.
Thank you Gaea for providing this wonderful alternative. - Hilary W.
Gaea cares deeply about women's health and she advocates for the best care on the Central Coast. She goes above and beyond to educate woman and support their personal decisions about their body. She is kind and patient and happy to answer all your questions. I never feel rushed during her services and I trust she is giving me accurate information. - J. Blair
I happened upon Thermography breast imaging on the Beach radio station and made my first appointment in October, 2017.
I had a large tumor in my left breast that I'd been playing around with mammograms for 3 years. Fortunately, I resolved the tumor and continued to use Thermography through Gaea Powell and I will never have a mammogram again!
Gaea was very concerned about me and I appreciate that. I really feel like seeing her was much better and more personal than other doctors.
Thank you Gaea Powell! - J.L.
Gaea Powell is a wonderful and kind woman and truly cares about people. She does a great job caring for women by providing safe Thermography scans to detect breast issues without radiation. I would highly recommend her. She is a lovely person. - KS
I have appreciated Gaea Powell and her wonderful services of thermography in lieu of the horrible mammograms that I never wanted after the first one.
Gaea is very kind and personable and really cares about her clients personally. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants an alternative to horrific mammograms.
Welcome aboard April. The world, and especially the Central Coast and North County SLO, is blessed to have women like you two. - M. Johnson
I started going to Gaea at Central Coast Thermography about 3 years ago. Gaea is so knowledgeable and the exam does not hurt a bit. I’m so glad there is something out there other than mammograms 😊 - N. Wood

Gaea made my 1st Thermography experience very comfortable! Honestly, it’s as easy as getting your picture taken - say cheese :)
So thankful for this technology..no touching, squishing or manipulating during exam- yay!
Her calm and thorough explanations and passionate attitude towards the benefits of Thermography confirmed to me that I had made the healthiest choice for my body.
I have since encouraged other women to try a healthier alternative to harsh breast exams - Thermography!

I have been receiving Thermography’s with Gaea for seven years. I have always been impressed by her knowledge, professionalism and genuine care of her patients. I appreciate her work and dedication to women's health and wellbeing. Gaea is an outstanding practitioner and lovely person. - R. Morris
I have been seeing Gaea for the past 6-7 years. After having had Mammograms, MRI’s, and biopsies for 30 years, I was just tired of being poked and prodded. I was done traumatizing my breasts! I feel lucky to have found Gaea in this area. She is very patient and empathic. I have referred many friends to her. I am done radiating my breasts ( mammograms) and being injected with toxic chemicals (MRI). Thermography is safe, fast, easy, and pain-free! It gives women another option to choose from. - Sona D.
As I have become older and wiser and taken a more holistic approach to my health, thermography was an excellent option in getting some of my lady parts checked out. Booking was easy and my appointment was very relaxed and informative. I especially loved receiving my images directly. Central Coast Thermography makes adulting as a woman and managing my health a breeze. THANK YOU! - Stephanie F.
I had my thermogram with Gaea Powell last year and returned for my follow-up thermogram this year. I’ve been very happy with her services both times and appreciate the care she provides. I’m grateful to have found her and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for Thermography services. —Terri F.
I would highly recommend a Thermogram. It is very interesting and thorough. Gaea is very warm and personable,and full of information. I really look forward to coming to my appointments, I learn so much about my body. I had begun a new journey with the Thermogram when I started 2 exams ago, being more conscious about my lymph system and overall health. So thankful for health providers that are truly invested in our well being. I tell everyone about it! Thank you Gaea! - Bonnie D.
I have been coming to Central Coast Thermography and seeing Gaea Powell for over 8 years. She is very professional; I would recommend her to anyone who wants an alternative to mammography. - CW
I first went to an appointment with Gaea in 2015 after inquiring with my doctor about an alternative to getting a mammogram.
-My first experience with a mammogram was nerve wracking because I had received a false positive diagnosis and the exam itself was cold, unpleasant and awkward.
-I was delighted when my doctor offered me Gaea’s office information to make an appointment with her. Upon meeting Gaea at her office I felt welcomed and completely comfortable.
-I was reassured by Gaea of the relatively simple Thermography procedure that I would be experiencing and also how I would receive the results. I can share that the thermogram procedure was straightforward and non invasive or uncomfortable.
-I felt a huge sense of relief that I had made the right choice for my breast health by having Gaea provide the thermography procedure.
-In 2015 I believed it to be a safe choice for me. Now, in 2026, I still believe it is the best and safest choice for me and Ishare Gaea’s insights, her website and office number with others.
-I feel that the thermography option for breast health and care is absolutely the way to go!
Thank you for all you do Gaea! - Julie J.
Gaea is someone who is both so kind and so professional; she cares about you and your body in managing your own health. She has a wholistic approach and is not judgy at all.
She makes you feel so comfortable that I have brought my own teenage daughters so they learn about breast health and how to track their bodies over time.
I’ve lived long enough to know that standards for testing can change drastically and women’s health has been understudied and often cavalierly aggressive testing has produced such fear. Thermography makes sense along with whatever else you feel comfortable with - galleri, mammograms, ultrasound, self exams etc.
My own doctor wrote me a scrip for ultrasound rather than mammogram and I can’t get local testing to do it without giving me a follow up mammogram- even after a doctor requests it.
For whatever reason thermography will make you more familiar with yourbody (and appreciate it!) and
Gaea will dispel the fear. - J. Sante
I met Gaea when i was in my 40’s I am in my 60’s now. She has been a big part of my health routine not only with Thermography but her knowledge of women’s health, her empathy and always staying on top of latest health trends good and not so good.
Her care has helped me so much through the years, hoping for many more! - Lois G.
I am glad you have another profesional doing what you do in North County. Was very pleased to meet you and saw you twice for the thermography what is wonderful. - Rosa B.
