“When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.” ― Audre Lorde

​From the moment I started my own healing journey, I knew I wanted to be a part of the team that helped black women heal, restore and transform themselves.  I feel blessed to be that which extends and produces joy for so many.  Much of my prayers include finding a collective of black women who find their purpose aligned with the same ideals. I am thankful to provide safety and comfort to black bodied  healers, leaders and creatives.

​From the moment I started my own healing journey, I knew I wanted to be a part of the team that helped black women heal, restore and transform themselves.  I feel blessed to be that which extends and produces joy for so many.  Much of my prayers include finding a collective of black women who find their purpose aligned with the same ideals. I am thankful to provide safety and comfort to black bodied  healers, leaders and creatives.

I didn't get here easily on no crystal stairs. I got here by failing and crying and growing. I got here by undoing and unlearning and looking at my shadows. Its with immense proudness that I am here to tell you that I am not nice, for most, or your negro.

I'm here doing this work because I was called.

As the proud owner I believe:

 

Black Womxn deserve to be paid fairly 

Black folx deserve reparations 

Black Trans Lives Matter

Water is Life - Sex Workers deserve reverence -

Mental Health Work is "The Lords" Work -

Self Care is Radical -Scarcity is a myth -

Teachers are Sacred 

We ALL WE Got (and all we gon git.)

Every time I walk into Cocoa, I fee a sense of exhale I didn’t even know my body was holding onto. Sharonda's hands carry both intuition and deep skill. Each session feels like therapy, prayer, and physical release all at once. She doesn't just address tension, she listens to the story my body is telling and responds with care that is both gentle and powerful. I leave every massage feeling lighter, freer, and more connected to myself. Truly one of the most gifted healers I’ve ever encountered.

I just wanted to lay there and relax and that is exactly what I did. I felt super relaxed and grounded after my session. I highly recommend Sharonda.

Gifted hands is an understatement.

The space is very welcoming. Sharonda does a great job every time. You get your money's wroth out of each session. Would tell them to definitely try the add-ons.

It was transformational!

I have never had such an relaxing, enriching, and life-changing experience! Cocoa Healing Collective is SO much more than physical relief. Sharonda challenged me physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally.... Which she knew I needed!

If you’re fortunate and make it into the cool kids club, I think you’ll love it here. 😎 I felt safe, loved, limber, and far less achey afterwards. I’m writing this the day afterwards and I feel rejuvenated.

Ms. Shradona is a true gift - a practitioner of "heart work" and words will never express how thankful I am for her. The concern, care, and compassion she puts into every touch are sacred and life-changing. I have been on my healing journey with her for two years and I would not be standing in my true self - moving towards my true purpose without her light.
