Why
Embrace The Darkness?

As someone who was in the car accident my sister died in, has family members who struggled with addictions, mental health, and not wanting to be alive...

I am no stranger to these dark moments.

Embracing the darkness is not about giving up, going to the dark side, or becoming evil.

Embrace The Darkness exists to acknowledge these feelings and experiences happen AND they they do not have to define us.

I would not be where I am today without the support of others, and it is an honor to support you through your journey.

Somatic Breathwork Reset - Breathing Into Your Grief

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:

  • Feel fully alive again, with a deep sense of peace and purpose
  • Wake up energized, excited, and in love with life again
  • Reconnect with yourself in ways you never thought possible
  • Find clarity and emotional balance

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 grandfather (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. At least not until you're old and grey.

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

I’m Stephen Stott, a certified somatic breathwork practitioner, grief educator,
and over a decade of experience working as a social worker..

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.
