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 program. This is where we take the information 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.
What you get:
- The step-by-step process to organize and assess information about a client
- The process and support to put together a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses biology work, as well as somatic work and parts work, to specifically work through their trauma pattern.
Dr. Aimie’s actual assessment forms – Dr. Aimie will be giving you the assessment forms she uses when walking clients through identifying and completing the trauma response. Not only will she be giving you these forms, but helping you know the relevance of the questions on the assessment forms, how to interpret them, and how to create a comprehensive treatment plan from these assessment forms.
Step-by-step case studies –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.
What you get:
- New content specific to Advanced Professionals that shows you how to identify, assess and address a true physiologic trauma pattern in your client/patients
- A model of exactly where to begin in addressing unresolved grief and persistent gut issues with your client/patients
Who Is This Journey 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:
- You must have taken the foundational module (The 21 Day Journey to Calm Aliveness and All Parts of Me)

- 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 (BoT) 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.
