About Brenda Sonnie-Goldman
Since 2005, Brenda has worked with men and women in the hospital setting to provide holistic therapies to complement their body’s inner ability to heal and be well. Her specialty focuses on supporting the healing process that takes place after breast cancer surgery and treatments.
In addition to being a Board Certified Licensed Massage Therapist, Reiki Master, and Certified Lymphedema Therapist, Brenda holds additional certifications in the management of breast cancer rehabilitation, mastectomy massage and integrated lymphatic drainage massage.
More recently, as the science in this field evolves, she has been introduced to the healing potential of lymphatic enhancement technology, light therapy, and medi-cupping and now incorporates these modalities in her practice as a Lymphstar Therapist and Certified Medi-Cupping Practitioner.
Brenda was introduced to the field of holistic healing when a family member, whom she supported through serious illness, told her “I just don’t have the energy to heal.” This motivated her to start her company, Energy to Heal, to be able to help and support others with similar challenges.
While walking alongside her mother diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, Brenda was inspired to become a part of the Healing Consciousness Foundation team, attending to the physical and emotional needs of clients touched by cancer.
Brenda and her husband live in Newtown, PA. She is blessed with an extended family, including eight grandchildren, and enjoys decorative painting, traveling and listening to live music.

Meet Rachel Sonnie
Born and raised in beautiful Bucks County, Pennsylvania, I’m a proud 2010 graduate of the Council Rock School District and a graduate of the Lansdale School of Business Massage Therapy Program. When I’m not in the treatment room, you’ll usually find me spending time with my husband, our energetic toddler, and our beloved senior dog. I’m also a lifelong lover of dance, music, Broadway, and the arts—passions that inspire the creativity, presence, and compassion I bring to every massage session. I strive to create a welcoming, inclusive environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and cared for, and I am proud to be an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community.
I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2015, specializing in therapeutic and medically focused massage. My approach is rooted in restoring function, improving movement, and helping clients reconnect with their bodies. Rather than relying on a single modality, I blend techniques from years of advanced training to create sessions that are tailored to each person’s unique needs.
At the heart of my practice is Myofascial Release (MFR), a gentle yet highly effective technique that works with the body’s connective tissue (fascia). MFR is especially beneficial for chronic muscle tension, restricted movement, and post-surgical scar tissue. One of the things I appreciate most about this work is that it can provide the therapeutic benefits often associated with deep tissue massage without requiring excessive or painful pressure.
Over the years, I have continued to refine my skills through a variety of clinical and wellness settings. I spent much of my career at Hand & Stone in Warrington, where I developed a strong foundation in therapeutic massage. Before the pandemic, I also worked at The Cryo Spa in Holland, Pennsylvania, collaborating closely with Shiatsu practitioners. That experience deepened my understanding of incorporating movement into bodywork, creating more dynamic and effective treatment sessions. Following the pandemic, I returned to Hand & Stone while also building my own private practice in Yardley.
I have advanced training in oncology massage, a specialized approach that safely adapts massage therapy to meet the changing needs of individuals undergoing cancer treatment, recovering from surgery, or living with a cancer diagnosis. My work also includes lymphatic massage, a gentle technique that encourages healthy lymphatic flow and supports the body’s natural healing processes. This modality is valuable for pre- and post-operative recovery, scar tissue management, swelling reduction, and cancer care.
My practice extends beyond structural bodywork to include complementary healing modalities such as Reiki, Theta Healing, and Reflexology. When appropriate, I integrate these techniques to support relaxation, balance, and the connection between mind, body, and spirit.
I am committed to lifelong learning and continually expanding my knowledge. My ongoing education includes advanced training in trigger point therapy and referral patterns through Coaching the Body, allowing me to better identify the true source of pain rather than simply treating where symptoms appear. For example, a headache may actually originate from tension in the muscles of the neck rather than the head itself.
I believe every body is built from the same pieces, but no two puzzles come together the same way. Each person has a unique story, and every treatment should reflect that. My role isn’t simply to relieve pain—it’s to help uncover what’s contributing to it, restore balance, and work with you to put the pieces back together in the way that’s right for your body.
Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, navigating a medical condition, or simply seeking to move and feel better, my goal is to provide personalized, compassionate care that helps you reconnect with your body and move through life with greater comfort, confidence, and well-being.
