Dear Linda,
You are such a blessing to me and my family. You have given me back my life but only better.
As you know, I have fibromyalgia. I first heard about you from my friend Jackie. I was so skeptical. I was not going to come see you but my husband kept pushing. He said "what do you have to lose?". I have 2 friends with fibromyalgia and they are pretty much in bed all the time. The pain is awful for us. I had headaches everyday and the feet pain was what I could not take. I was only sleeping for about 3 hrs a night because of the pain. I kept thinking "what can Linda do that a Doctor could not do for my friends?".
My husband pushed me to come see you and you were great. You asked what I'd like to see change and I told you that I would love to sleep and if you could help with my feet pain, I'd be happy. You said I should see some changes in a couple of days--well I think I saw a change in 2 days but I tried to block it out. I definitely saw a change in 3 days. I was sleeping so good at night, feet stopped hurting and the headaches went away. It's been over a month and I still see changes.
Thank you, Linda, for my life. I am enjoying it so much. I feel better than when I was in my 20's. That is not bad for a grandmother of 52!!!!!!!!!!! I went to Busch Gardens a couple of weeks ago and had no pain--it was great.
I'm doing everything you told me to do and I can't wait to see you again in a couple of weeks.
Thanks so much.

I am 15 years old and have been going to Healing Waters for about 2 months. This past February I was diagnosed with Eurticaria. Basically, it's chronic hives resulting from stress. My doctor prescribed Allegra and Singulair to stop the itching, but they only masked the problem, they didn't cure the hives. So when I read in the newspaper that a new holistic health center was being opened, I decided to give it a try. At my appointment Linda used the Bio-Energetic screening to find the imbalances in my body and then gave me several supplements that would help reverse my hives. But what helped me the most were the tips Linda gave me for dealing with day to day stress. Now it's easy for me to determine what is stressing me out and move past it. I also journal every night to keep my mind from becoming cluttered. Before visiting Healing Waters my stress level was about a 7 out of 10, now its down to a 3. My hives are getting better everyday as well. I have tremendous confidence that in a few months I will be completely hive and stress free. My way of thinking and my way of life are completely changed from going to the wellness center and it could be one of the best things I've ever done.

I've been seeing Linda for about six months now. When I started I was completely exhausted (I'm 43 with a two year old, seems normal) and had hip pain along with other maladies. After the first visit my energy level increased dramatically so I wasn't wishing for my bed by 5:00PM. Since the second visit my hip pain is almost nonexistent. We are working on several other small things and I would recommend Healing Waters for anyone with major and minor health issues. They treat the whole person and do not just mask the symptoms.
Linda –
I just wanted to take the time to write you a short note. I have been coming to your office for some time now and wanted to just say “Thank You.” Over the last four years or so I have gone to other individuals trying to get my health on track. I would go for my monthly visits – take all the supplements recommended – spend hundreds of dollars – feel some improvement but just felt that I could do so much better.
My first appointment with you was about two hours long. Within weeks I could feel a difference. The one thing that impressed me the most was that you took the time – each visit you review the supplements that I am taking and make changes when necessary. I don’t feel that I am taking supplements just to take them. You had me test to ensure that it was the right supplement for me. I had been taking so many other supplements for years and couldn’t even tell you why I was still taking them. I was also very impressed that you work on total health - recommending other services that aid in obtaining a healthy lifestyle.
Through your office I met Linda Barkell and began the Transitions Diet. To date I have lost 30+ pounds – 6 inches – I exercise every night – who would have thought all these changes in less than a year. I’ve had my first Reiki session with Regina and even took the Reiki I class.
I have met so many wonderful people that are truly interested in the health and well-being of your clients. Thank you again!!

For the second time Terry said, "Mark, you should go see Linda Potts. She's had chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia and could help you."
"OK, OK! I hear. I'll check out her website."
I had already been looking on the internet for a natural healing practitioner but the closest one that I could find was near DC and I felt it would be too stressful and expensive to travel to that far. It was about this time that I was reminded by Terry to check out the Healing Waters Wellness Center website.
I did check it out—every link on it but was especially interested in Linda's personal story of her healing journey. I couldn't believe that someone else had felt much like I was feeling but had gotten past it. I saw a ray of hope.
I decided to make a call.
I spoke with Karen who was very helpful in answering my questions—and patient as she listened to my health history. She then forwarded a questionnaire for me to fill out to help with my first visit.
I had been dealing with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, and other related problems for almost two years and was getting next to no help from my primary care physician. I had been a vegetarian for over 35 years—and vegan for over 7 years, familiar with herbs, homeopathy, and supplements which i used desperately in unsuccessful attempts to heal myself only adding to my frustration.
On top of my physical problems I had finally given up my dreams of ever becoming a consistently productive and successful artist. I had had all the pain I could deal with.
But to every thing there is a season . . .
Terry's suggestion of seeing Linda wasn't just helpful encouragement from a friend—it was a providential helping hand pointing the way to go. And as I've found, Linda isn't just a professional with lots of credentials on the wall, hers is a true ministry of healing. Her gift is not just the art of physical healing but a healing of heart, mind, body, and spirit. Finally! A health professional seeking to heal the whole person.
I'm not 100% yet and don't expect to be, but there are already changes for the better and with those changes are reasons to have hope for a better future. I'm amazed at how far I've come in such a short time!
Thank you Linda!
Praise God!
Blessings,

Dear Linda,
I just wanted to say “thank you” for your guidance at my opening visit to your office. It was really neat how you could see “inside” me.
It was as if you were an authentic “Christ Type” for me. I literally felt like the woman who came to “the Well” to drink and Jesus told her everything about herself – offering water that would quench her “thirst” for all time.
I look forward to talking with you again, and feel that I am drinking from a Source that can provide “true and lasting healing”.
With Sincere Gratitude,
Teddi W
My training is in traditional medicine, I specialized in Emergency Medicine. I have access to whatever I feel I need in the world of allopathic medicine.
Over the last 20 years of practice as an emergency physician I have learned subconsciously to tense my shoulder, neck and back muscles when I am tired or overworked. This has led to muscle tightness, spasms and some numbness in my hands at times. MRI and CT scans are all normal. Specialists and medications help for a short time but not for long.
Research into alternative medicines has led me to try accupuncture and biofeedback at the Healing Waters Wellness Center. My reasoning follows the fact that this type of healing has existed and worked for 4000 years; longer than what we now consider "traditional medicine". In the last six months of combined therapy of acupuncture, biofeedback, homeopathic medications and deep tissue massage has allowed me to heal more than 20 years of allopathic treatments.
The practitioners at the center all come highly recommended. I cannot thank them enough for the kindness and professionalism that I have discovered while in their care.

My name is Tammy and I am 45 years old. I have been coming to Healing Waters Wellness Center since July of 2006. I have a kidney disease. I have a nonfunctioning left kidney and the right is functioning at about 50% which along with that has a blockage. I have an internal stent that goes from my right kidney into my bladder to collect whatever is caught in the blocked area. Because of this I am constantly fighting infections.
Due to all these infections my body has built up an immunity to all oral Antibiotics.
Since coming here in July, one week after having another round of IV Antibiotics, I have not had to have any antibiotic treatments. I do believe greatly that coming here has helped make this happen. Linda reevaluates me every 4 to 6 weeks and gives me her suggestions. I come faithfully every week for the Ion Foot Cleanse (Detoxing). I feel so much better since I have started doing this also. Now, I wait every week for my Ion Cleanse because I feel so good after each session. If I miss a session I feel a definite difference.
I can also see that the water after each cleanse has changed. In the beginning it was drawing from my kidneys only. Now, it is drawing from other parts of my body, which is great! I feel so much better health wise. I really believe that if I was not coming here to Linda I would still be as sick as I was before July. Healing Waters Wellness Center has made a great difference in my life.
