I'm Clara Brown, licensed massage therapist, and owner of Sacred Cocoon Therapeutic Massage. 

My mission is simple: to make life easier for those struggling with physical and emotional pain. 

In 2017 after a major health scare, I enrolled in massage school at Southwest Institute of Healing Arts in Tempe, Arizona. I knew that I needed to make a change so that I could live a happier and healthier lifestyle. Massage therapy has made such a positive impact on my mental health that I can't help but feel called to apply what I've learned as a way to honor others and serve my community.

For years, I worked as an employee in a spa environment but my ultimate goal was to work for myself, to build a beautiful healing space where clients could feel safe and heard. The symbolism of a cocoon is what I felt most connected to. I love the metaphor of changing into a new being after shedding the skin of an old self.

Since graduating from massage school, I have had advanced training in trauma informed massage therapy and oncology massage considerations through Advanced Massage Arts & Education in Tempe, Arizona. I offer pediatric massage for children with autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress, sensory processing disorders, and sports related muscle soreness. 

I am also a death midwife and educator, trained through University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine, for those in need of emotional support in their final stage of life or for those who are grieving. I am a member of the National End-of-Life Doula Alliance (NEDA), the National Home Funeral Alliance (NHFA). and the Association for Death Education and Counseling. 

Adopting the philosophy that learning never stops, I have dedicated myself to continuing education and growing my knowledge and experience as a life-long student of the healing arts.

I am so glad that you're here!
