Lori Garibotto

Introduction: I have been working in the healthcare field for over 30 years. I have a B.S. in Nutrition, an A.O.S and New York State License in Massage Therapy and I am a Certified Personal Trainer (certification from Marymount Manhattan College). My previous experience has focused on designing individualized fitness programs (healthy nutrition in conjunction with exercise) for a broad spectrum of clients, ages 7-95, with varied physical conditions. For example, I have been successful in assisting overweight individuals achieve their weight loss goals through diet and exercise. In addition, I have counseled and addressed the nutritional needs and physical weaknesses of clients with various chronic illnesses. Moreover, I have also been successful in helping healthy individuals maintain or improve their physical fitness through cardiovascular workouts as well as strength training and stretching programs on a consistent basis. In recent years, due to a large number of clients requesting massage therapy as part of their wellness program, I decided to go back to school and get my degree and license in massage therapy (2005). Whether you are looking for a certified personal trainer, nutritionist, licensed massage therapist, or all of the above, I can do all three. I am qualified, capable and confident. Along with my education, positive spirit, persistence and patience, I feel that what has made my business successful and has helped reshape many of my clients' lives is my ability to really listen to them with great sensitivity and compassion, and to move forward with the necessary changes in a supportive environment.
