Placing your connection with your child before curriculum is beneficial to both homeschooling and non-homeschooling parents.

Parents can get inspired about focusing on connecting with their children before setting up curriculum. Understanding your child’s needs and personal learning style can help both parent and child.

Is your child a visual learner, or are they more auditory, or kinesthetic? Learning doesn’t have to be boring or stressful if you choose what works best for everyone. It can actually be fun!

Listen to this podcast episode to learn more ways to help understand your child’s needs and the different options in homeschooling with our special guest Jackie Wheeler Wiebe from Homeschool Think Tank.

Through HomeSchool ThinkTank, Jackie strives to connect homeschool families with one another and the resources they need. You can discover more by subscribing to her weekly podcast, The HomeSchool ThinkTank Parenting Podcast and by visiting www.HomeSchoolThinkTank.com.

Jackie is the author of THINK HOMESCHOOL: Live and Learn Your Way! She wrote this book to help parents decide if homeschooling is the right choice for their family. It’s available as an audiobook, ebook, and paperback.

Learn my 4-Stage Process for Naturally Recovering from the Symptoms of Autism

What if you had a clear roadmap instead of constantly trying one thing after another?

After watching my own son transform from struggling with severe symptoms to living a healthy, independent life, I spent years researching, learning, and developing the approach I now teach to families around the world.

In my free online webinar, The 4 Stages to Naturally Recover from the Symptoms of Autism, I’ll walk you through the four stages I believe are essential to supporting your child’s health:

Healing the Gut
Natural Heavy Metal Detoxification
Clearing Co-Infections
Brain Support & Repair

I’ll share what I discovered through my own journey, why I believe the order matters, and how I approach the underlying health challenges that can affect children with autism.

Stop guessing and start understanding the roadmap I developed through years of research and personal experience.

I created this webinar to give you the information and roadmap I wish I had when I was trying to figure out how to help my own son.

This is for informational purposes only and is not meant to diagnose or treat. Every child’s level of recovery is different. No two people are the same. It is never implied that all children will have the same outcome. Results are all based on individual biology and the work that is done. This process takes time and various steps, effort and resources need to be weighed. Our programs are intended to help you become more knowledgeable and guide you to help bring your child a better quality of life, whatever that may be. We want to help by giving great content, direction and strategies that move you forward. Nothing on this page or any of our websites is a promise or guarantee of results or future outcomes. The results on this page and any of our websites are not typical or promised. In fact, there will be people who purchase this and other programs and never put the work into implementing the strategies taught and therefore will achieve little to no results.

We hold ourselves (and you) to a high standard of integrity. We are cheering you on every step of the way.

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)."

Your Simple 4-Step Plan

I know how the overwhelming amount of information out there can leave you feeling insecure about who to trust and like you might never stumble on the answer. I felt the same way.

We work towards this recovery through four simple phases:

Healing the Gut

Natural Heavy Metal Detoxification

Learn how to remove heavy metals from your child's body without causing more harm.

Clearing the Co-Infections

Learn how to get rid of the infections that can prevent recovery.

Brain Support and Repair

Learn how to support and even repair your child's brain so they can start living a more independent life.
