Remarkable Professional
FROM: Lori Dvorak, InVision 4, Inc. Vision Strategy Expert & "CONNECTIONS for Entrepreneurial Women"
Rita Garnto and I have known each other for more than 15 years. Her background and knowledge in self-care is outstanding. Rita is a remarkable professional in her business. I use her simple self-care tips and they work! It's that SIMPLE.
Rita has been a Keynote Speaker for my networking events through the eWomenNetwork Organization when I was the Executive Managing Director of the Charlotte, NC Chapter. Our monthly chapter meetings would have 50-100+ attendees. Rita provided several presentations for our meetings because she was so engaging and helpful to businesswomen. She would provide easy steps for them to relieve their stress and learn self-care so they could stay happy and healthier every day and build stronger businesses as a result. Her presentation style is down to earth and SIMPLE.
I highly recommend Rita Garnto as a speaker and self-care expert for your organization.
Excellent Event Coordinator
Rita Garnto is an excellent event coordinator, ensuring our organization’s needs were met for a requested presentation . She delivered a 30-minute self-care and stress management focused presentation at our staff meeting, providing tools and practical advice, exercises and hand-outs.
Rita is very relatable, authentic and a great listener. Her message was right on point and she adapted to fit within our allotted timeframe perfectly. Employees even had the option of signing up for a self-care reminder text.
Here’s the feedback I received from one of our team members “ in our hustle of everyday life, we somehow overlook self-care. . .It’s nice to be reminded. I also got my first text this morning from Rita. This is going to be great!”

Deeply Inspired by Rita
Rita spoke at our women’s self-care event with an audience of about 100 attorneys who work in high stress positions for corporations all over the world.
The women were deeply inspired by Rita’s personal testimonials, experiences and advice on how to balance and improve life using personal self-care. It was a great way to kick off the half-day event, and everyone was appreciative of her book in order to refer back to the suggestions and techniques on an ongoing basis. We hope to use Rita again for other events.
