During the Coronavirus outbreak there were so many parents at home with their sensory overloaded kids who needed help. One wrote in telling me her child with autism had a PANS/strep outbreak because of the stress of being “shut in” for so long.

We all need outlets for our energy but people with sensory overload need real tools to calm, whereas, some need more stimulation. There was a great need to provide help for parents, so I wanted to share my favorite at-home sensory calming gym with those who need something like it right now.

I also decided it was a perfect time to bring in a sensory processing expert to help further. Please listen to my radio show interview with Lindsey Biel, OTR/L, a pediatric occupational therapist and learn how you can entertain your child at home with fun games that also help calm sensory needs.

Learn more about what sensory processing disorders are and what to look for in your child so you know what to do for them.

The definition of recovery is "to regain health." Learn what most doctors don't even know that is absolutely necessary for your child's optimum outcome for the healthiest, happiest, and most fulfilling life from the symptoms of autism.

Improved sleep, digestion, and positive social engagements

Increased focus and a much greater sense of self confidence

The ability to reach their fullest potential and live a healthy, happy life

The definition of recovery is to regain health.

Autism is a biological disorder, not a mental illness. Therefore, you can recover from autism, naturally! I know because I have watched my own child transform from anxious, aggressive, and racked with debilitating symptoms to calm, easy-going, healthy and living well on his own -- and I'd love to help you do the same for your own child.

Karen Thomas C.S.T, C.M.T

My passion for helping other moms to naturally recover their children came from my own child's diagnosis on the autism spectrum. My holistic background and knowledge of the brain, through my Craniosacral Therapy practice, assured me that my own child could and would heal if given the right support.

While I knew I could naturally recover his autism, it quickly became apparent that in order to find the answers and get the help I needed, it was up to me to pull all of the pieces together. Which is exactly what I've done and what I want to share with you.

"We’ve seen noticeable changes in his behavior! He’s more calm than before and his speech has dramatically improved. His picky eating is very gradually getting better as his gut seems to be healing. He’s much less aggressive as well and he’s even playing more like neuro-typical kids his age."

"My son no longer stims, no hand flap , his sleep and language have improved. My son at certain times experienced severe constipation and it was resolved."

"Thanks for all your guidance and information Karen. It's done wonders for my stress level! ...and brought great peace that we are on the right path for recovery."

"My son has shown huge progress. He went from no eye contact to always looking at us and responding if we call his name, not sleeping through the night at all to sleeping the full night, crying bloody murder 24/7 to being actually playful/content. Being more socially active etc."

"I have noticed he has a better appetite, than before we started the diet. We have noticed as well better speech and joining two words and sometimes 3 during nursery rhymes. Also eye contact has improved, and he smiles when I smile to him."

"He was very hyper all the time, however, ever since I started him on Karen's candida detox diet he has calmed down completely (12 days now)."
