"After my consult I felt as if a weight were lifted from my shoulders. I've been feeling very alone in my situation, but after talking to Linda I feel I have a partner. I know that with Linda's help, I'm expecting the best possible outcome." Christine S-G., Staten Island NY
"Linda made me feel so at ease on the phone. She is so professional and completely knowledgeable regarding nutrition and overall health. I am so excited to have signed up for distance Reiki. I am totally confident in Linda's abilities and knowledge." Janice W., Rockland ME
"Linda, without a doubt, you are the most compassionate and understanding individual I have ever met. After several years of pain and suffering with all of my medical conditions and eight surgeries, you were most willing to listen and customize the sessions to meet all of my needs. While I may be a unique case, you never made me feel that I was untreatable! In fact, you gave me hope when the medical profession didn't. I believe I now have the tools to heal and maintain good health. The program not only met my expectations, but exceeded in ways that I could never have imagined." Karen G., Staten Island NY
"Linda taught me more about nutrition than I ever learned in nursing school. She opened up a whole new world for me. I didn't realize how many toxins I was putting into my body before. Now I am eating super foods and crave the nutrition from them. I especially like that I can now teach others about whole foods and pass her knowledge to my family and friends. I have a renewed zest for life. Linda is truly a special soul." Jeanne G., Staten Island NY
"Completing this program changed not only the way I view food and nutrition, but my overall perception of the world around me. I feel better, look better and am enjoying life much more than I have in years. Thank you Linda! You helped me turn everything around!" Christine S., Harrisburg NC
"I am cooking more, eating seasonally, listening to my body, have great energy, and am in better shape. You are a great listener, knowledgeable, and it shows that you are very passionate about what you do. it was great having your support this past year. I always looked forward to our sessions. Thank you Linda!!!" Emma R., Brighton MA
"I feel stronger and healthier than I ever have in my whole life. Changes were weight, awareness of my body like I never dreamed I would have, I cook more than I ever have and actually enjoy it, I feel like I will live to 100 with a good quality of life. I was blessed to have Linda as my counselor. She is a very caring, loving, supportive counselor who really understands what it means to help someone. She is a great listener and helped me to make some lifelong changes in my lifestyle that have given me balance and happiness beyond my wildest dreams." Sharon T., Glen Rock NJ
"I have become much more grounded and centered since working with Linda. I also lost a few pounds, increased my energy levels and explored new foods. I cut way back on dairy just as I began working with Linda and she really supported me in finding suitable whole food replacements. Linda is a kind soul and so easy to talk to. I enjoyed her enthusiasm for food and wellness, and found her to be a great motivator. She really tailored my sessions to my needs. If you are looking to make changes in your diet and lifestyle that are sustainable, please visit Whole Health and Wellness. Not only does Linda focus on gentle, yet high mileage changes in your diet, but she supports you in making those changes or just getting clearer about other areas of your life that need attention. My experience with Linda has been transformative and a sincere pleasure." Kim R-L., Greenbelt MD
"I am eating better, feeling better physically, as well as emotionally and psychologically. I have a more positive attitude. I quit smoking before starting the program and I was able to stay smoke-free. I eat much less meat now, and more whole grains and vegetables (mostly organic), I cook more and I have started working out. I would describe Linda as very knowledgeable, and she cares very much about her clients' health and wellbeing. Signing up for this program was a very wise decision on my part." Kathy C., Staten Island NY
"Overall I have experienced improved regularity, better sleep, and a more positive attitude about my health and my future. I have learned that it is ok to be me and to listen to my body. I reduced my (medical) symptoms and have gotten off (Rx) medication. I know the process isn't as quick for me as I would like, but I am seeing changes. My process has always been a bit slower than others, but I finally feel that I am on the right road now. Thank you Linda, for helping me find that road!" a year later... "Linda, it has been such an experience taking this journey with your guidance. I am so glad that I found my way to you. You have taught me so much, and these will be with me as I continue on. You are a special soul." Julia P., Staten Island NY
"I had the pleasure of having a reflexology treatment done by Linda Principato and it was wonderful. I was able to fully relax, which isn't always easy with a stranger. She was gentle in her approach, thorough and informative. Her treatment room is serene and welcoming. She is serene and welcoming... I will certainly be going back again. Whole Health and Wellness will be part of my approach to a healthier, more life sustaining lifestyle." Susan S-F., Staten Island NY
"I am amazed at how powerful Linda's reflexology sessions are. After each session, I experienced a rush of energy flowing through my entire body and a sense of renewal and clarity the days following the sessions. I can feel that the process is taking place on a deep level, and that all systems of my body are responding to the treatment by waking up and functioning more optimally. I feel confidence in Linda's touch, firm yet loving and gentle, and I can tell that she is a very intuitive and powerful healer. This is the kind of session I would like to receive from Linda on a weekly basis. I know how beneficial reflexology is, and how good Linda is." Kena Rohi Custage-Elliott, Co-founder, Energy of Breath Institute, NYC
"I can not tell you how wonderful my sessions were with Linda. Her office is filled with peace and tranquility. The soft calming music playing in the background and the comfortable chair she provides for her clients is nothing short of a little bit of heaven. I expected my first session to be like a foot massage. It isn't a soft touch, and yet strangely enough, it is the most relaxing feeling I have ever experienced. I drove quite a distance for my three sessions and I would do it three more times plus! Shoes off to you, Linda!" Cathy C., Bayside NY
"Linda, what a miracle! Yesterday I was so sick and could not even get out of bed. After five hours, we finally got out of the house. Last night was incredible. It was starting to come out and then my body shivered. I went straight to bed and woke up this morning 90 percent better! This is a testimony of what foot reflexology can do! Thank you so much for being a life miracle." Carole L., Staten Island NY
"Just what I needed. The Reiki was wonderful. It was a very relaxing an healing experience and I highly recommend it! The energy that comes through Linda's hands is amazing!" Julia P., Staten Island NY
"I was very impressed with Linda's ability to give me long-distance Reiki. What's more is, she took the time to explain to me what exactly was involved in it, and to explain about the chakras and what each one meant. I was totally at ease when dealing with her." Janice W., Rockland ME
"I am happy to report that my mom's dog, Liberty, will not need radiation. Her tumor seemed to heal. I want to thank you for sending healing energy to her. You are a miracle. God bless and Namaste'." Jennifer V., Staten Island NY
"I don't know what you're doing over there, but the vet said Archie perked up and has started eating. We are going over to visit him now. I'll keep you posted. I feel so relieved ... I know it's not all okay now, and it's only a matter of time, but I was really feeling awful about having to do this today. THANK YOU!!!!! from all of us." Christine S., Concord NC
"Since I have been using these essential oils, I have gone from six colds a year to about one or two and there has been this amazing improvement in my sinuses. I have a great ENT who tells me to just keep doing whatever it is I am doing because it seems to be working. Had it not been for you Linda, and your concern in making the world more conscious about managing a healthier life, a lot of us would still be in the same boat. I want to thank you for making my life whole!!!" Cathy C., Bayside NY
"What a treat! Reflexology with essential oils and Reiki -- it was such a wonderfully relaxing and healing experience. Still amazes me each time to feel such energy coming from Linda during Reiki. I am so grateful for her and for all the healing she has opened me to." Julia P., Staten Island NY
"I just started a nutritional cleanse and so the timing of the Reiki and Reflexology was perfect. My headache subsided, I felt very relaxed, and had a wonderful night's sleep. Linda has an amazing gift!" Julia P., Staten Island NY
"Dear Earth Mother, thank you so much for the delicious food you prepared yesterday. I felt so good, I didn't want to put any other bad things in my body the rest of the day. I felt clean. What a pleasure!" Cathy C., Bayside NY
"Linda, as always, your sessions have exceeded any of my expectations. I absolutely loved the class! Your ability to demonstrate the versatility of the ingredients, all the while prepping the food and engaging in simultaneous Q&A with the audience, really sets the atmosphere as a relaxing get together with friends discussing the love of food. Time flies and after all is said and done, we have a fabulous healthy guilt free meal and the tools to recreate the meal for our families. I can't wait for the next class!" Karen G., Staten Island NY
"I learned so much from the vegan cooking classes. Between the variety of foods and what can be done with them, to all the little cooking tips and tricks! All the classes were a lot of fun and so yummy. Linda is an amazing teacher!" Julia P., Staten Island NY
"I was very impressed with the whole foods prep workshop. Linda explained everything she was doing and gave each of us a copy of the recipes and ingredients. I was very surprised as to how tasty everything we made was. Linda also included us in some of the preparation, which was fun. I'm looking forward to trying some of the recipes myself as well as exploring others." Kathy C., Staten Island NY
"Dear Linda, my daughter and I attended your raw food prep workshop yesterday and we'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for the delicious, wholesome, super foods that you so lovingly prepared for us. You are a beautiful soul inside and out." Barbara A. and Emma T., Staten Island NY
"I really enjoy the workshops and classes. To have an open discussion with like-minded people is just great. The walking and hiking (and talking) is very helpful too." Julia P., Staten Island NY
"Taking the time to do a walk-thru of [health food store] was invaluable. It is one thing to tell someone what to look for and how to shop, and it is completely different and eye-opening, to say the least, to go and show, aisle by aisle, a whole new way of life." Karen G., Staten Island NY
"I gained so much knowledge from the health food store tour. It was so effective to actually see the products as we discussed them." Jeanne G., Staten Island NY
