Somatic Therapy Approach
IN SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA
WHAT IS SOMATIC THERAPY?
Somatic Therapy is a body-based approach to healing that helps you reconnect with your physical sensations, emotions, and nervous system in a safe, supported way.

Somatic Therapy: Healing Through the Body
So often, healing focuses only on the mind. But our bodies carry stories too—ones that need care, attention, and release.
Listening to Sensations: In our work together, you’ll learn to track your body’s signals—tightness, tingling, numbness, breath—so that we can understand what your body is communicating.
Regulating the Nervous System: Using titration, pacing, and gentle somatic practices, we build your capacity to stay present without becoming overwhelmed. Healing doesn’t require force—it asks for safety and curiosity.
Body-Based Resilience: Through this approach, we restore your relationship with your body as a source of wisdom, not fear. Over time, this builds emotional resilience, confidence, and self-awareness.
Embodiment as Empowerment: This is not just about managing symptoms. It’s about coming home to your body as a sacred place—one that’s capable of sensing joy, safety, and power again.
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.
