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)."
