Introduction: About Us History of EmpowerRI Since 2001, EmpowerRI Laura’s vision has been to make life coaching easily accessible to Rhode Islanders by developing a client-centric program that provided client’s with tools, that are focused on accomplishing specific life-changing goals. Access to these tools, along with guided coaching, empowers clients to strive for and gain sustainable results not normally achieved in popular “workout” exercise-centric paths. By bringing the program into the client’s daily living cycle, the client is able to begin at their own level and progress at their own pace, while receiving 360 degree support. Most importantly, the Program is designed to be affordable to all. No longer an all or nothing approach, the Empower Plan is designed to provide focused value by giving you what you want “the way you want it”. Meet Laura Gorriaran-Goodwin. Laura is a certified professional life coach. As an ACSM-certified exercise physiologist and wellness coach, Laura focuses on her clients’ physical, mental, and spiritual health as an interconnected body. As a TRX-certified trainer, Ms. Gorriaran-Goodwin uses highly portable performance training tools that leverage gravity and the user’s body weight to develop strength, balance, flexibility, and core stability simultaneously. Laura was the owner and founder of the 14,000 sq ft facility, The Training Academy, one of Brooklyn, NY’s power fitness lofts. She has been Director of Fitness and Personal Coaching for many USA national fitness chains. A certified Functional Movement System (FMS) specialist and USOC Sports Performance Coach, Ms. Gorriaran-Goodwin’s list of clients includes sports, entertainment, and government celebrities. Meet Tanya Gorriaran-Goodwin. Tanya is a registered yoga instructor and physical therapist who is passionate about movement. This passion led to her career, beginning in 1998, as a physical therapist. Tanya discovered her first yoga class in 2005 as a way to augment her own personal training. She immediately fell in love with the union of body, mind, and spirit she attained through yoga and knew that this was a life changing experience she could bring to the world. Ms Gorriaran-Goodwin received her yoga teacher training in 2015 at Eyes of The World studying under Tom Gillette and Shannah Green. Tanya is currently a yoga teacher through the Yoga Alliance and teaches at All That Matters in East Greenwich. A Cuban-American, physical therapist, and certified infant-massage educator, Tanya hopes to spread the message of peace and love to help make the world a better place beginning with self.

Have worked with Laura for a few years. I can recommend empower ri very highly. Laura has the knowledge and ability to create a workout to meet your goals needs and ability, and the integrity to assist you to modify them if needed.I had a total hip replacement about two weeks ago. I worked with Laura on what my body needed to be ready for this surgery. I am happy to report that all of the "pre hab" worked beautifully. Even if some of it was uncomfortable to do the stretches and other training made this a much easier recovery. I have finished pt. Walk without assistive device and best of all I'm pain free.

I've worked with Laura 2 days a week for the past 5 years. She is an amazing trainer that has a way of motivating you to do and be your best. She knows exactly what you need before you do and modifies your workouts accordingly. She has helped me with my recovery through a number of injuries. She is always mindful of my limitations and is not a tyrant in the gym. Her space is amazing and I love the one on one interaction and attention she gives. I highly recommend her and suggest you give my friend Laura a try.

My drive home from Massachusetts to North Carolina was pain free after a 30 minute impromptu Stretch Session with Laura. I also left knowing what muscles I need to focus on to keep this yoga body safe and comfortable

Laura is a well sourced practitioner, who is connected with her heart and has a sincere desire to be of service. For me she is one of the best kept secrets on the planet.

"Working with Laura was remarkable. She has a vast array of knowledge about body mechanics, functionality, and modalities of working with the body in the present moment to improve flexibility, strength, mobility, and overall health. She explains what she's doing and why, so that I understood what the goal of each tool and exercise was. She models healthy living, self-care, and addressing issues from multiple angles to achieve the best results. Laura is super supportive and encouraging, and she helped me feel empowered in taking part in my own recovery. I highly recommend her!"
