Tammy Leiner
Clinical Thermographer, co-founder; Kindo Health Center.

When you enter the Kindo Center you immediately get a feeling of healing, due to Tammy's extraordinary creative talents. As a previous owner of an art gallery, Tammy brings to the Kindo Center an artful Asian design of colors and textures that is far more serene and spa-like than medical. People say “the healing begins when you walk in.”

Tammy’s role at the center includes public relations. She volunteers for the Wisconsin Health and Wellness Council, providing community education at no charge in public and organizational forums. In addition, she directs the Longevity Center, specializing in Digital Infrared Thermal Imagery (DITI). DITI is a critical component of the Kindo Health Centers’ diagnostic assessment process. All patients get a thermal scan to detect the areas that need to be addressed for diagnosis and treatment. Pain is objectively quantified through scanning.

Thermography is a non-evasive approach to prevention of diseases. Tammy became interested in thermography while being treated for knee pain. Through thermal scanning, she found out that the problem was not in her knee, but inflammation was evident in her lower back causing knee pain. Tammy also saw the value of breast thermal scans, due to its prevention ability, in many instances, to identify abnormalities seven to ten years earlier than a mammogram would. This is accomplished without any painful squeezing or dangerous radiation, (to learn more about thermography return to the home page and select thermography). She is a passionate advocate of breast thermography for woman and men alike.
