What is 1 Year Practitioner Certificate Training?
The 1 Year Practitioner Certificate Training changes you first—then naturally transforms how you show up for others.
This isn't about learning techniques to "do" to clients. It's about walking the full healing path in your own body—so your nervous system becomes regulated, your presence becomes steady, and your understanding comes from lived experience, not just theory. As your own biology shifts, something else shifts too: the way people feel around you.
Clients sense when someone has done their inner work. They feel safer. They trust more deeply. They open to change.
You don't need a science or medical background. You need a genuine desire to understand trauma biologically—and the willingness to participate as a self-help learner first.
What sets you apart isn't just what you know. It's that your biology has changed. You've walked it. You've lived it. And now, you can naturally weave pieces of this work into what you already do—not as another modality to perform, but as an embodied way of being.
The Biology of Trauma® model gives you the comprehensive, integrated framework—and the essential sequence your nervous system needs to heal. When you help others, you have to do your inner work first.
What does it mean to become a Biology of Trauma® Professional?
A Biology of Trauma® Professional is trained to address all 3 essential pillars of somatic, parts and biology work to strategically and efficiently address stored trauma in the body and as a result, you walk through all of them in your own body first—then naturally bring what you've lived into your work with others.
Professionals learn to read nervous system states—not from theory, but from walking through freeze, stress, and shutdown in your own body first.
Professionals receive training in holistically applying the latest in neuroscience, epigenetics, attachment theory and more. Because Biology of Trauma® Professionals understand that healing begins with themselves, they walk through all of the exercises and trainings for themselves first in order to be their most well-resourced selves for clients and to better guide clients through their own holistic, healing work.

How is this Training Structured?
- Courses - Core modules in the exact sequence your nervous system needs. Your body must build safety before it can release what it's holding. Experience this sequence in your own system first—it's how you'll understand what your clients need and why the order matters.
- Community - Ongoing space for connection, practice, and co-regulation. Trauma happens in isolation. Healing happens in connection. As you experience your nervous system learning safety through being witnessed, you'll embody what co-regulation truly means—and be able to offer it authentically to others.
- Coaching - Weekly small-group sessions with Dr. Aimie and faculty focusing on somatic work, parts work, and biology integration. Information alone doesn't create change—in you or your clients. These sessions help you apply the framework to your own patterns in real time. Only by doing your inner work first can you guide others through theirs with integrity and precision.
