We are so happy to introduce the staff at Children of Light to
more of you through this web site. Robert and Ron consider it
a privilege to work with these wonderful people - people who care
deeply about bringing the depths of their healing gifts in service
and integrity.
The core of our center is the metaphysical school created and
developed by Robert and Ron. Some of the practitioners listed
on this page have trained extensively at Children of Light - and
offer the core energetic process that we created - primarily based
on fifteen years of Gabriel information and training. Our school
is then greatly enhanced by the work of other teachers, healers,
body practitioners and speakers.
Even though we teach people in many parts of the world at various
times, this page is designed to make you more fully aware of all
that we collectively offer at our Upper West Side center in New
York City.

Karen Finckenor
"Sitting at my desk in corporate America, I
had a revelation that I would be a healer. Not knowing a thing
about it, I serendipitously met Ron and Robert 2 weeks later,
and from there, my journey began."
Seven years later, under the guidance and teaching
of Ron Baker, Karen is now a counselor and healing practitioner.
Her grounded and nurturing approach takes clients through a process
of personal healing and self-empowerment, building an inner sense
of self, value and celebration of the unique gifts that make you,
you.
Currently, Karen divides her time between counseling
and corporate America. In addition to being a counselor and healing
practitioner, Karen is a Reiki Master and a recruiter for creative
talent at an award-winning New York advertising agency. She sees
clients in NYC, but lives in NJ where she has the most spectacular
view of NYC you can imagine. She is grateful and humbled to be
a practitioner at Children of Light.
Edmund Friedman
Graduate of the Children of Light's Practitioner
Training Program, Bioenergetics Therapist, Ordained Minister &
Reiki Master/Teacher
A Practicing Therapist Since 2005:
I have discovered a powerful ability and deep passion to improve
the wholeness of a person's life. I am highly intuitive and fully
committed to working with you - through a heart of compassion
and a genuine bond of trust. Together, we will discover a measurable
process that reclaims your divine self.
I'm committed to teaching this process because
it has clearly transformed my own life…
A Student Since 1998:
Without question, this has been the most powerful thing that I
have ever embraced to elicit real and sustainable change in my
life. Not only has my outer world changed but more importantly,
my inner world; where the pure pleasure of life is experienced
with less and less effort.
I encourage you to step through the door of
transformation with me.
Together we will heal the past while building a better present
and future.
Carole Vaporean
In my experience, as people's awareness of their
motivations for their actions increases, they become more empowered
to make choices that are in line with their commitments.
My commitment for my own life is to create a space
for human beings to realize their greatness, by offering them
access to an ease of being. My commitment for the world is for
all people to be clear in the divine intentions for their lives
and empowered to carry them out.
I have studied at Children of Light since 1997,
learning about human defense patterns, as well as Reiki and energy
healing therapies. I became a practitioner at the Children of
Light Healing Center in January, 2006. I have also been trained
for over 20 years in human empowerment at Landmark Education,
having engaged in numerous healing modalities. And finally I am
self-taught in healing mind and body with nutrition, herbs, vitamins,
and stress management.
