With over three decades of experience as a Holistic Health Professional, Karen has established herself as a leading expert in Craniosacral Therapy. Her expertise extends beyond holistic health—she is also an accomplished educator, author, speaker, consultant, and devoted mother who successfully navigated her child’s recovery from autism symptoms through natural, holistic approaches.

Drawing on her extensive background in holistic health and neuroscience, Karen took it upon herself to explore drug-free, natural solutions to support her child’s healing journey. This personal mission fueled her passion and shaped her professional path. Karen’s primary areas of expertise include alternative health care, craniosacral therapy, bodywork, autism spectrum disorders, gut healing, nutrition, detoxification, human brain research, and natural, drug-free treatment methods. Today, she is recognized as a trusted resource for parents of children with autism and has developed a unique method to share her groundbreaking findings with others.

Before embarking on her professional career path, Karen received her Certificate in Massage Therapy from Twin Lakes College of the Healing Arts and her Associate’s Degree in Biology from Glendale Community College. She is a Nationally Board- Certified Instructor of Craniosacral Therapy.

Throughout her illustrious career, Karen has remained active in her community and has been recognized internationally for her outstanding leadership and dedication to the profession. Karen’s expertise and commitment have earned her numerous awards and recognition throughout her career. In 2023, she was honored as Top Autism Expert of the Decade by the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP) and featured on the iconic Nasdaq Billboard in Times Square, New York.

Her outstanding contributions were further recognized with IAOTP’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2024. This year, she will be celebrated with the prestigious Presidential Award at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas in December.

With over 30 years of experience as a Craniosacral Therapist, Karen’s holistic background inspired her to develop an all-natural, drug-free approach to addressing the underlying causes of autism symptoms—beginning with her own son’s journey to recovery. Today, Karen Thomas is recognized as one of the most trusted resources for parents of children on the autism spectrum.

Her expertise is shared through multiple platforms, including her book, Naturally Recovering Autism: The Complete Step-By-Step Resource Handbook for Parents, as well as her regular blog and podcast.

Along with her step-by-step sequence, please learn about the exciting non-invasive technology that Karen uses as one of the main modalities. This patented wearable patch is scientifically proven to activate the body’s own stem cells. Karen now uses this in her program to accelerate the body’s ability to heal. Everyone can benefit from it. It’s not just for autism. Karen wishes to share this with others looking to improve their own health, naturally.
