Helping Your Clients Recover from Trauma or PTSD Can Stretch Your Limits
Especially in the ocean of stress, anxiety, and isolation we live in. You probably have seen even dependable, evidence-based strategies break down, increasing the stumbling blocks in your practice. Or your clients have hit the limits of talk therapy.
It’s easy to feel like you’re not doing enough.
I noticed the same challenges over 45 years ago while working with severely ill, traumatized clients, and I started looking for ways to decrease my clients’ triggers while getting at their root causes.
Seeing a connection between what my clients were eating and how they were feeling, I pioneered ways to integrate nutrition into my practice — along with breathing exercises, yoga, and bodywork, which made my work more multifaceted as well as effective.

MORE ABOUT THE COURSE
Use a Healing Roadmap
Over 45 years, working with colleagues as diverse as indigenous healers in the jungle of Mexico and integrative doctors at Harvard Medical School, I developed a comprehensive integrative health and healing roadmap that you can personalize based on each client’s unique physical and psychological condition.
Evidence-Based Methodology
Known as The Brainbow Blueprint®, this approach to integrative health is a multipronged methodology that offers a wealth of natural, evidence-based ways to catalyze the body-mind’s innate healing response.
Integrating 16 Modalities
The Brainbow Blueprint® draws from a rich palette of ancient wisdom and modern techniques, respecting culturally sensitive needs. I offer you the depth of my experience, having road-tested and refined the application of 16 different types of modalities, from balancing biorhythms and hormones to selecting herbs, supplements, even psychedelics and entheogens.
Taper off Medications
Peer-reviewed journals confirm the lack of evidence for psychotropics to heal PTSD. I will guide you through the process of creating a Taper Plan for your clients and coach you through the ethics and coordination of working with the prescribers. I’ll even give you samples of how to talk to difficult prescribers.
Bodywork for Mental Health
Having worked with clients across the mental health spectrum, I will teach you exactly which types of breathing, yoga, bodywork, and other methods work for which clients and at which stage of recovery.
Create Personalized Care Plans
You’ll finish this deeply enriching certification course with a step-by-step process for creating personalized care plans that you can start to use right away.
Get Life-Changing Results
Using my methodology, I quickly discovered that my clients’ journey to healing accelerated and they experienced life-changing results — even when they were previously stuck.
I’ll teach you how to confidently leverage your work to treat mind and body together, so your trauma clients can find lasting relief and can finally reconnect to their healing and growth potentials.
Once you complete this training, you’ll qualify to immediately become Certified in Integrative Medicine and Nutrition for Trauma Treatment (CIMNTT) through the Leslie Korn Institute for Integrative Medicine.

Course Description
This certification program offers the most comprehensive online training on PTSD and Complex Trauma using integrative medicine and nutrition available, anywhere. The course teaches practical, integrative, and nutritional interventions that can be combined with trauma-specific modalities.
Whether you are a mental health clinician working with clients who have chronic illnesses like memory loss, and cognitive decline, or a physical health or nutrition provider preventing and diabetes and dementia, who wants to add to your toolbox, you will find methods that ensure your patient outcomes will improve.
You will learn an integrative approach that equips you with the knowledge, skills, and tools to combine evidence-based clinical methods using functional medicine, culinary and herbal medicine, naturopathic medicine, massage, and visceral manipulation, yoga therapies, and psychological methods with conventional, allopathic, biomedical science and clinical interventions.
This certification gives you what you require to safely recommend supplements and herbs, and to help clients reduce or optimize current medications. You will study the role of traumatic stress and how it affects memory and cognition, and you’ll spend time in the kitchen learning to prepare herbs and foods.
We can give our best advice to clients and patients, but without adherence to the protocols, any method will fail. Therefore I explore the role of motivational interviewing to address self-care and compliance.
Memory loss, agitation, gastroparesis, neuropathy, sundowning, and much more are all explored in depth using natural medicine and functional methods that reduce side effects, thus giving you many options for helping your patients or clients. You’ll also explore caregiver health, cultural and social justice, and how to build rapport with cultural competency.
When you complete your certification you will join others who are leading the revolution in integrative medicine and nutrition for chronic illness.
