Linda Bamberolson

Was this a Coincidence? Born with hearing in only one ear, Linda Bamber-Olson learned to adapt early in her life “They didn’t discover my dis-ability until I was in the third grade,” Linda said. By then, “I had learned to stay still, orient towards the sound and absorb information.” Who knew those three ideas would be the very foundation for the WAVwatch. “Although I took some ribbing from my brothers for never getting a joke…my hearing ability was not a detriment, but rather something to improve on.” Linda has always been a creator. She made her first prom dress and wedding dress, created her own middle school teaching units, and has had several businesses. Most notable are bath and body products that sold thousands on HSN and in Hobby Lobby. When Linda’s mother and sister were both diagnosed with breast cancer at the same time, she turned her attention to learn how to protect her family and herself. She started BRAS, Breast Research Awareness & Support, a business to teach other women how to protect their breast health. Visit www.brasthermography.com for more info. Linda is a teacher, speaker, writer, nutritionist, and has a B.S. in Food Science & Nutrition with an N.D. certification. As she interacted with clients, she found a need for a simpler and easier way for protection from many common health problems, like kidney stones, knee pain, emotions, and more. In 2007, she started designing what would become the WAVwatch, but the technology really wasn’t developed yet. The idea sat for a decade. In that time, technology changed drastically and then it just fell into place. “I felt like I was guided every step of the way. Technology was advancing and my sons developed talents that helped shape the idea,” Linda said. Back at her BRAS business, clients would help direct her one direction or another to test the WAVwatch and move forward with development. “Other clients had amazing connections to share that I would never have dreamed possible,” she continued. After the prototype was finished, testing began. And the positive testimonies started streaming in… Coincidence? I think not.
