If you are a parent of a child with special needs, including a child diagnosed with autism, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder looking for a holistic and natural way to address your child's issues, I can help you in ways that others have not.  I can teach you the ways that the doctors have not, and will not.  And I can help you make those changes in the place that matters most -- at home.

Healing Your Child... Healing Yourself

What would it be like for your child (and you) to sleep through the night on a regular basis? To see your child's problem behaviors drastically reduced, and her cognitive skills increase? To get great reports from teachers and therapists? To see your child's anxiety decrease and self-confidence blossom?

I will provide a system to make changes that will improve the health and well-being of your child, and your entire family. You will learn that the right foods can change everything. As your child's diet and your own diet change, so will your lives. Together we can succeed at helping your child.

I use a holistic and biomedical approach with children (and adults) based on the most effective healing modalities currently known. I will guide you through an effective system that will noticeably improve your child's symptoms and well-being. In my years of experience working with children facing similar challenges, I have developed an effective, individualized protocol to immediately help relieve even the most severe issues. As we work toward correcting some of the most basic biological issues for your child, I also will guide you in a holistic health and nutrition program for your own healing. Parents (rightly) focus on the urgency of addressing their child's needs but often forget themselves in the process. In order to optimally heal, a child needs physically and emotionally healthy parents. You as a parent need to be fully available to your child and I can help you to achieve that.

Please view the fourteen minute video "Hope After Diagnosis" from Tacanow.org, to more clearly understand the view of the thousands of families whose children have been helped or recovered on a biomedical model approach for autism.

Now, imagine what a day in your life might look like after working with me:

• You find that you are beginning to safely and enjoyably take your child anywhere, including restaurants, shopping, swimming, and public events.
• You begin to feel more comfortable leaving your child with caregivers, not just therapists, family members, or special aides.
• You begin to get spontaneous hugs, re-establish eye contact, and share smiles with your child.
• You can enjoy time with friends, and relax and re-establish intimacy with your spouse.
• You start to feel better in your own body, in your relationships, and in effectively navigating your marriage and family life through the stress that autism and ADHD has introduced into your life.

All of this is possible, and more. I am here to help you achieve your goals -- for your child, your family, and yourself. I provide in-home services throughout the New York Metro area, with phone consultation programs nationwide.

I would recommend Kathleen highly for any role that leverages her extensive knowledge of the biomedical model for childhood intervention in autism."
Dr. Ronald L. Hoffman, MD, Host of radio show Health Talk, WOR Radio Network

I can't imagine where we’d be today without the guidance, knowledge, kindness and spirit Kathleen has brought to our entire family over these years."
Jim Watkins, Anchor, WPIX News 11, New York

Kathleen is more than the sum of all her credentials.  She truly embodies a holistic approach to family health, focusing not only on the nutritional needs of special needs children but also the nutritional and emotional needs of their caregivers.  She couples that with a "real world" understanding of time, financial and other constraints on parents and gives parents do-able goals to reach for both themselves and their children.  She is easy to talk to and a very sympathetic ear but she will push you just the right amount to make changes that will benefit the whole family!"
Kim Mack Rosenberg, client and parent of a child recovered from autism

Kathleen has over the course of years of my treatment facilitated measures within the family, showing truly unique observational skills proving valuable in accurately assessing results of each treatment to both the family and myself as doctor, on every level."
Dr. Nancy Ohara, MD, Board Certified Pediatrician, Integrative care for neurodevelopmental and Autism Spectrum Disorders.

...Kathleen's continuous quest for knowledge in the area of healthcare and her focus on a wellness lifestyle places her in a prime position as liaison between doctor and family."
