Receive cutting-edge INTEGRATIVE training
People are searching for answers.
They go over here for this piece, they go over there for that piece. Where can they go for an integrative, comprehensive ability to see trauma and unresolved grief then know how to safely address it?
That’s where you come in.
When I look at the world today, what people need most are professionals like you who have a comprehensive view and full arsenal of tools. In the Advanced Professional training, we will be building off of everything you have learned up until this point. We are taking it a step further, and deeply focusing on how this knowledge and these skills can be incorporated into your practice.
Studying as an Advanced Professional Biology of Trauma® student, you will be diving even one step deeper into how to integrate this content into your practice.
What is included in the Advanced Professional Training?
You will receive the Advanced Professional level of training, building on what you know from the Professional level and give you what you need to directly implement the materials into your practice through handouts, protocols, guides, and assessment forms.
Advanced Professional Self-Study:
The self-study track offers a structured, in-depth learning experience for those who want to enhance their professional expertise. This includes:
- A self-study curriculum with structured lessons.
- Step-by-Step Case studies to guide applied learning and clinical implementation - Dr. Aimie will walk you through a real case study showing you all of their assessment forms, how to identify the best starting place, and how to pull it all together for a comprehensive treatment plan.
- Live implementation meetings with a dedicated breakout group for advanced professionals.
- Ongoing access to all live classes and content from the Grief and Gut Health module.
- Dr. Aimie’s actual assessment forms – Dr. Aimie will be giving you the assessment forms she uses when addressing grief and gut health in clients. She will explain the relevance of the questions on the assessment forms, how to interpret them, and how to co-create a plan with those you help.
- Ongoing access to curriculum and recorded sessions
- Final case presentation, helping you integrate and apply what you've learned.
Advanced Professional Upgrade – Optional Enhanced Experience:

This enhanced experience is for professionals who want more than just coursework—it’s for those who want a space to engage with other experts, collaborate, and integrate this knowledge more fully into their practice.
Who Is This Training For?
This is for Advanced Professionals who:
- Have already started their own journey of addressing stored trauma, unresolved grief and its impact on the gut and vagus nerve and other areas of the body.
- Desire to learn how to implement Dr. Aimie's protocols and the Biology of Trauma® Framework to help their clients process grief, gut health, and address the impacts to the biology, especially the gut and vagus nerve.
- Are passionate about bringing the Biology of Trauma® Framework to the world and helping get their clients unstuck by bridging the worlds of biology and trauma work.
- Please see specific eligibility requirements below.
These are the requirements to be eligible for the Advanced Professional Training for the Biology of Grief and Gut Health module, the following is required:
- Have taken the foundational module (The 21 Day Journey and All Parts of Me)
- You have a certificate of completion from the Grief and Gut Health Module. See reference HERE
- Are enrolled in the Professionals Network (PN).
- Please note that some of the course happens on this platform and so membership is necessary in order to successfully complete this advanced training. Learn more about or join the Professionals Network HERE.
- This is an additional cost to be a part of the Professional's Network. Please follow the link above to find information on cost and how to become a member.
- One of the main objectives of the advanced level program is to network with and learn from other advanced providers who are trained in the Biology of Trauma approach. We facilitate this objective through our Professionals Network (hosted in the Mighty Networks platform) where we house an exclusive, dedicated community of BoT advanced providers where collaborative discussions can take place. This is where we have the opportunity to deepen our exploration of the program’s content and where your assignments are posted as part of the requirements for completion.
- Advanced Preparatory Course - although this is not a requirement, it is strongly recommended for you to complete prior to week 1, especially if you have not taken the following professional level modules (Stress, Letting Go, Freeze and Detoxing Module). This course will be available as soon as you complete registration this advanced freeze training
I guess it particularly applies to the grief module is that some of the things that have happened to us are tucked so far down into our nervous system that we can't access it by memory.
And those are the things that are going to stay stuck in our body. And so, with Dr. Aimie's work in the grief module, those are the things that come up and come out. Such a beautiful key to freedom, and I don't know of any other key.
