Shamanic and Animist Work: Ceremony as Healing
This isn’t talk therapy—this is ritual. It’s remembering that healing can be sacred, symbolic, and deeply personal.
Ancestral Connection: We may explore lineage, inherited wounds, and ancestral wisdom, allowing you to heal not only for yourself but for those who came before and after you.
Earth-Based Practices: Nature is a co-regulator. We may work with seasonal cycles, elements, and land-based rituals to anchor your healing in something bigger than yourself.
Ritual as Integration: Whether it’s through altar-building, journey work, or guided ceremonies, ritual creates tangible containers for emotional and energetic shifts. We give form to the invisible.
Welcoming the Sacred: This work is about reclaiming your sacredness. Whether you’re grieving, transforming, or in need of clarity, shamanic and animist work offers a grounded path to return home—to your body, your soul, and the world around you.
Hi, I’m Stephanie Brumfield
Licensed Therapist in California, Holistic Therapy & Spiritual Support
Hi, I’m Stephanie Brumfield, a holistic spiritual therapist, certified astrologer, and eternal seeker. Deeply attuned to the subtle and sensitive aspects of life, I specialize in creating a compassionate space for individuals who feel misunderstood or out of place due to their neurodivergence, beliefs, or values. My work focuses on helping clients navigate familial disconnect, societal expectations, and spiritual awakenings, guiding them on a journey from black sheep to holy outsider.
As someone who is neurodivergent (AuDHDer), I value soulful, meaningful connections and draw inspiration from the wisdom of nature, especially trees. With a deep passion for ancestral work, mythology, astrology, trauma healing, and dreams, I integrate these elements into a practice that honors the cyclical nature of death, rebirth, and transformation - a reflection of my Scorpio Moon. Whether I’m researching, reading, or listening to 90s grunge, my approach to healing is grounded in energy medicine, spirituality, and the belief that personal healing can ripple outward to transform the collective.
