Rita K. Garnto
Rita's simple self-care philosophy empowers the audience to tame stress overload and move from feeling "CRAPPY to HAPPY" by consistently implementing one simple, practical, and doable self-care action to put themselves on the top of their to-do lists.
Rita leverages almost 40 years of extensive experience in the medical and healthcare field to support her simple self-care philosophy. Her robust background includes serving on a trauma flight team, where she performed life-saving measures and navigated complex emergency situations. This professional depth, coupled with her personal journey through significant life challenges and chronic health issues, provides her with a unique understanding of stress and its impact on the body and mind.
As a self-proclaimed "science nerd," Rita draws on her medical background to explain the efficacy of her simple self-care techniques by connecting them to the body’s physiological responses to stress. She developed her methods, detailed in her book Simple Self-Care Saved Me!, from her healthcare experience and personal insights. Retiring from her private massage therapy practice in 2018, Rita now functions as a Simple Self-Care Mentor and Educator, and since 2023, has been a contracted self-care workshop facilitator for AmeriHealth Caritas. Her work empowers individuals and organizations to build resilience and manage stress through practical, achievable strategies.
Rita likes to tell it like it is. Her authenticity and openness, along with her quirky sense of humor enables her to connect with those that are looking to increase their productivity, feel more empowered, and be less crabby.
