Feeling Stuck, Lost, or Overwhelmed?
You're Not Alone!

Grief, trauma, and pain can leave us disconnected, from others and from ourselves.

These feelings are not permanent, but the journey to healing often feels daunting.

That is where somatic breathwork comes in--a practice that helps your body release, reset, and reconnect.

Whether you are navigating loss, recovering from trauma, or simply seeking calm in the chaos...

What Is Somatic Breathwork?

Somatic breathwork is a transformative practice that uses guided breathing techniques to calm the nervous system, release stored emotions, and reconnect you to your body. It is more than a relaxation tool-It is a pathway to healing, clarity, and transformation.

Key Benefits of somatic breathwork:

  • Release unresolved emotions from grief and trauma
  • Reduce stress and physical tension
  • Reconnect with your inner strength and calm
  • Find clarity and emotional balance

Why Embrace The Darkness?

Well... partially because it stands out against other names and I would be lying if I did not say that I had a little dark humor in me. When you go through things in life like grief and trauma, it can change your view about life because the worst already happened.

Embracing the darkness is not about giving up, going to the darkside, or giving into fear.

Embrace the darkness is about honoring that people go through tragedies, trauma, and life shattering events and to remind you that you do not have to suffer in silence anymore.

Every somatic breathwork session is different; however, every session is a session that strengthens the mind/body connection to weaken the grip of grief, trauma, and pain.

If it were that easy... Everyone would be doing it.

Somatic breathwork is a practice where you are guided by a practitioner because the Soma+IQ method believes that trauma is healed through community and in witness from another.

Why I Do This Work

A little bit about me, my sisters,
and sibling loss

Grief has always been a part of my life when my dad's dad died when I was maybe 8 or 9 but even that could not prepare me for the death of my sister.

As a child, we are sometime naive to how the world works and we often think we are invincible. You never grow up thinking that your sibling will die.

She taught a private cheerleading camp that I went with to keep her company but unfortunately on the drive back we both feel asleep.

She died and I survived.

I was 16 and Taylor was 2.

I’m Stephen Stott, a certified somatic breathwork practitioner and grief educator.

My journey into breathwork began with my own experiences of loss, trauma, and healing.

Through this practice, I found not just relief but transformation.

It’s my passion to share this with others, creating a space for healing, growth, and reconnection
