Experiences of Professionals With The Biology of Stress
“Learning that we can complete the stress response is very
empowering. And hearing you explain it from such a practical
biological perspective was really helpful, too."
– Tamika Rose
“So I'm very grateful for what we've been learning collectively. It's going to have a ripple effect and a lot of people are going to be benefiting from what we've learned here as lovely as it is, for our own healing. It's a privilege to witness other people's progress, so I'm very grateful for the course structure."
– Janice Renteria
"This wonderful space Dr. Aimie, really I do not know of any other place where we can be virtual with so many people and feel safe... really safety. This course is life changing for me. And you've done this for us. I do not know of any space that does this.“
–Sadia Saadat
“These tools really put you on the aligned track to be honest with yourself and stand in your truth.
This module has been the most impactful—my whole life I was told I’m too sensitive or have too big of emotions. Now I see that was me trying to protect myself because I couldn’t handle all that stress."
- Tiffany West
“This has been extremely beneficial. The biology of stress helped me see how we can support pregnant women facing trauma, stress, or scary diagnoses — to first mother themselves, then slowly reconnect with the baby.”
- Mary Ansel

Your Biology of Trauma® Instructor,
Aimie Apigian, MD, MS, MPH
Dr. Aimie is a double Board-Certified medical physician who specializes in trauma, attachment, addictions, and addressing trauma on a cellular level. She earned her medical degree at Loma Linda University and has a Master's in Biochemistry and a Master's in Public Health. She trained for over three years as a general surgeon before changing her career path to help people and train practitioners how to address The Biology of Trauma®.
In addition to her medical studies, Dr. Aimie has trained in trauma therapy modalities. She studied with Dr. Allan Schore on Attachment Regulation Theory, trained in Somatic Experiencing, NeuroAffective Touch™, Internal Family Systems (Parts Work) and the Instinctual Trauma Response Model™ and Psychodynamic Drama.
Her initiation to trauma came from Miguel, whom she adopted from the foster care system during medical school. Because of that, she is not one to sit back and talk about problems.
