SPECIALIZED LAB TESTING TO ASSESS YOUR UNIQUE BIOLOGY OF TRAUMA
The Metabolic Panel Plus assesses critical nutrients for brain health and identifies imbalances linked to anxiety, ADHD, autism, mood disorders, and other mental health conditions. This comprehensive panel includes Kryptopyrrole (at-home collection), Whole Blood Histamine, Copper Serum, Zinc Plasma, and Ceruloplasmin—the "repeat offenders" found across multiple mental health diagnoses. These tests use the specialized methodologies developed by Dr. William J. Walsh and the Pfeiffer Treatment Center to calculate free copper, oxidative stress, and methyl/folate imbalances, giving you and your practitioner the accurate data needed for personalized, functional treatment.

Whether you're dealing with chronic health symptoms, relationship challenges, emotional reactivity, or you're a professional helping others with these struggles, you'll discover why some responses feel beyond your control and how to work with your body rather than against it.
If you've found yourself unable to change patterns despite therapy, or been told to "just change your thoughts," you'll find a different path here—one that honors your body's wisdom and healing capacity.

PRAISE FROM THE COMMUNITY
THE HEALING JOURNEY STARTS NOW
One safe step at a time
For those seeking healing: You've carried this burden long enough. Your body has been waiting—sometimes for years, sometimes for decades—for you to understand its language and respond to its needs.
For practitioners supporting others: Your clients have been waiting for someone who truly understands how trauma lives in the body and knows how to guide them toward lasting change.
The path forward isn't about perfect implementation or having all the answers before you begin. It's about taking the first step with what you know now. The nervous system will guide you from there.
Whether you start with a simple breathing practice, begin tracking nervous system states, or dive deeper into the biological repair the body needs—every step matters. Each time you choose to listen to the body rather than override it, you create new neural pathways. Each time you respond to stress differently, you rewire decades of survival programming.
Tens of thousands have already discovered what's possible when they stop fighting the body and start working with it. The exhaustion lifts. The anxiety settles. Relationships deepen. Health improves. Life becomes something worth getting up for every day.
For yourself or for those you serve—the body isn't asking for perfection. It's asking you to begin. The rest will unfold naturally, one safe step at a time.
To your best health and your best self,
Dr. Aimie
