Experiences from Professionals Who Have Taken Our Courses

 
 

I do a lot of attachment work with my clients as a psychologist. And what I was excited about was the way that Dr. Aimie presents material. She presents it in a way that ties things together.

And it's not just theory, it's mind, it's body, it's heart, very gentle, and titrated really well, but also goes really deep.

I could spend many, many times going over the Attachment Module and get more and more and more out of it, because there was just so much in there. "

Christina Wiseman

 

 “...they cared so much about this work. And you could tell that it's impacted each one of us in such a beautiful way.

For myself, I will be working with pregnant moms and new moms. And I've had my own insecure attachment. And because of my high activation, I've also not been able to support my child as much. And I've noticed that even in my own practice, that has greatly sell me and now I have more capacity for him. And now I'm able to do that for my son, as well as for people who I'm starting to work with to build that body safety and to help move them out of that stuck kind of space by the body support and the tummy time and all those tools. I feel like the impact it has is such a connection from the inside and spreads out, and the more resourcing I'm able to do. I know that how I show up is that much healthier and more secure and impacts that person in that way. So thank you"

"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. I know that this is what we've been learning but be able to feel it, it's life changing for me. And you've done this for us. I do not know of any space that does this.
