"I had no idea how much grief I was carrying. When I first saw the module title, it took me days to open my computer. I didn't know I had to go through grief to get to joy, or that even touching the edges of it could bring so much calm. The integration of everything — the food work, the exercises, the parts work — integrated so deeply."

"I had this experience of being with a place inside of me that had completely shut down. I was finally able to just be with it, to be present. I realized what it wanted — it simply wanted love and my presence. It didn't want me to fix it, change it, or solve it. It just wanted me to be present, to offer love. Realizing that, I could finally take a deep breath. It feels wonderful."

"The big thing I'm learning is that my body wants to release the grief and the grief wants to move. What I'm learning is that I didn't have to go through the grief to allow it to move. What a relief to know that I don't have to live through all of this in letting it go again. And it wants to go."

Aimie Apigian, MD, MS, MPH
Physician. Researcher. Patient. Guide.
Aimie Apigian is a double board-certified physician in Preventive Medicine and Addiction Medicine with master's degrees in biochemistry and public health. She is the founder of Trauma Healing Accelerated and author of the USA Today bestselling book, The Biology of Trauma—with a foreword by Dr. Gabor Maté.
Her framework didn't come from textbooks. It came from necessity.
As a surgical resident and functional medicine physician, she saw patients whose stress had made them sick. As a foster-adoptive mother to her son Miguel, she experienced firsthand how trauma creates deep patterns. As someone who lived her own health collapse—chronic fatigue, autoimmunity, anxiety, and unexplained symptoms—she discovered what was missing from every approach she tried.
That missing piece became the Biology of Trauma® framework and an integration of psychology, somatics, and biology in the sequence the body needs to heal.
She is a certified Somatic Experiencing practitioner trained under Dr. Peter Levine, with additional certifications in NeuroAffective Touch, Internal Family Systems, and the Instinctual Trauma Response Model. She has presented at Oxford University's Masters Series on Trauma, the Institute for Functional Medicine, and the Integrative Medicine for Mental Health Conference.
Her podcast features conversations with leading trauma experts including Dr. Gabor Maté, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Dr. Peter Levine, and Dr. Stephen Porges.
She has guided hundreds of thousands through this work.
