Sondra Warner is an Advanced Certified Rolfer®, Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT), and Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT) based in Orlando, FL. With thousands of hours of education in structural integration, therapeutic massage, myofascial release, Thai massage, deep tissue therapy, and yoga movement, she specializes in helping clients find relief from pain, recover from injuries, and restore balance in the body through advanced bodywork and integrative care.

Sondra has completed more than 900 hours of training at the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute, achieving the prestigious Advanced Rolfer® certification. In addition, she holds over 700 hours of specialized continuing education in modalities including myofascial release, Thai massage, functional movement, trauma-informed care, aerial yoga, and yoga for special populations. She also earned her massage therapy license through 565 hours of professional training at the Orlando School of Therapeutic Massage & Yoga.

Her work focuses on treating a wide range of conditions, including:

• Chronic back pain, neck pain, and shoulder tension

• Headaches, migraines, and tension from stress or overuse

• TMJ dysfunction and jaw pain

• Carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive stress injuries

• Sciatica, nerve impingement, and nerve-related pain

• Whiplash and post-car accident recovery

• Athletic injuries, shin splints, and mobility issues

• Pain management for arthritis, fibromyalgia, and inflammatory conditions

• Scoliosis, lordosis, and spondylosis-related discomfort

• Postural imbalances and structural misalignment

As the former CEO of Empower Yoga, Sondra trained yoga teachers in practical, alignment-based movement to reduce injury risk and build long-term strength and resilience. Today, as CEO and lead trainer at Balance Orlando, she continues this mission—working directly with clients while also training massage therapists in advanced bodywork, integrative techniques, and sustainable practices for career longevity.

Although Sondra is not a chiropractor and does not perform chiropractic adjustments, she has attended hundreds of hours of continuing education courses designed for chiropractors alongside her husband, who is a practicing chiropractor. These experiences  allowing her to better understand spinal mechanics, postural patterns, and the philosophy behind chiropractic care.  This additional knowledge enriches her work as a Rolfer® and massage therapist, helping her collaborate effectively with chiropractors, other healthcare professionals and support clients seeking integrative pain relief solutions.

Beyond formal education, Sondra is committed to personally exploring a variety of holistic health practices to deepen her perspective. She has experienced acupuncture, herbalism, salt therapy, chiropractic care, shockwave therapy, red light therapy, and more. She believes that feeling these modalities firsthand not only improves her own self-care but also enriches her ability to guide clients toward effective integrative wellness strategies.

Sondra believes the secret to being a truly exceptional therapist goes beyond professional training. It requires not only prioritizing world-class education and learning as much as possible about holistic approaches to healing pain and tension, but also living the work—dedicating yourself to self-care through a lifestyle that embraces movement, bodywork, variety, meditation, and balance. This personal commitment allows her to show up for clients with deeper empathy, authenticity, and effectiveness.

With her unique blend of advanced training, analytical mindset, and personal healing journey, Sondra is dedicated to helping clients achieve lasting relief from pain, improved mobility, better posture, and greater overall well-being.
