About Dr. Brittany Rice
A grounded, compassionate approach to nervous system support and embodied healing
My work is rooted in the belief that many people are carrying far more stress, emotional overwhelm, and nervous system burden than the world recognizes. Beneath your obvious experience there is often a nervous system that has been trying to adapt, protect, and survive for a very long time.
I created this practice to offer support that feels compassionate, embodied, and attuned to your lived experience.
My background bridges psychology, nervous system education, somatic awareness, maternal wellness, emotional health, and my own lived understanding of what it means to move through stress, transition, overwhelm, and healing. I am especially passionate about helping people for whom other approaches were discouraging.
Much of my work centers helping clients reconnect with their bodies, build greater internal safety and awareness, and move toward more sustainable ways of living and functioning.
My approach is warm, grounded, relational, and practical. I believe people often heal through greater understanding, support, nervous system steadiness, self-compassion, embodiment, and safe connection.
The goal of the work is to help my clients inhabit their lives more fully, more resourced, more integrated, and to feel their most alive.
Above all, I want this work to help people feel less ashamed of their struggles and more connected to themselves, their bodies, and their capacity for healing.
Location & Availability
I am based in Bakersfield, where I work with clients through a small private practice setting focused on grounded, individualized support.
While rooted locally in California, much of my work is offered through secure online sessions, allowing me to support individuals across the United States and internationally where appropriate. Many clients find virtual sessions to be deeply personal, effective, flexible, and supportive within the realities of modern life.
My work is especially well-suited for individuals seeking thoughtful, nervous-system-informed support from the comfort and privacy of their own environment.
Whether nearby or across the world, the intention remains the same: creating a space that feels steady, compassionate, supportive, and deeply attuned.
A Gentle Note
My work is coaching and educational in nature and is not psychotherapy, medical treatment, or crisis care.
