What Practitioners Say About
The Biology of Letting Go & Detoxing Module
"I was so scared of this pain — and it wasn't painful at all. It was a joyful release, and I didn't know there could be joy in there."
"I gave that part what it really needed — the support, the rest, the permission. My body has relaxed, especially my belly, and my toxin load is reduced."
“ Everything that you do has just transformed my life in so many different profound ways...
...And as a consequence, the lives of those around me, as I show up more present, more attuned, and more in the moment. It's just been amazing.
– Marc Ivanchak
”I have to say there was life before Dr. Aimie, and now life after Dr. Aimie. that's how it feels. It's monumental in my personal journey and now in my professional journey.“
– Gabi Bockaj
“I've had 'aha moments' where things clicked, and my brain fog lifted. I'm more assertive, even amid stress.
...One patient saw a 90% improvement in symptoms after learning about trauma and nervous system tracking. I'm grateful for this community. Thank you, Dr. Aimie“
– Mona C.
”I would say this module has boosted my personal healing more than any others.

...I received it to myself and now I am able to give it to other people.
...It's been truly a gift that keeps giving. Just keeps giving."

"The journey of letting go, it truly is like peeling an onion and going through all of those layers.
...And then be brave enough to just take that next step, to let go and expand into what is going to be a joyous expansion."
– Kathy Tuslow
"I'm noticing a great deal of calm and peacefulness.
...It has been a form of just more relaxation from a muscular standpoint as well as thinking in terms of what I need to release and what steps can be taken to activate that."
– Elly Fitzig
"I was so scared of this pain. But it wasn't painful. It was a joyful release.

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.
