"I believe that all women, regardless of age, size, fitness level or occupation, can and should be empowered and educated with the information, skills and confidence to manage potentially risky situations and defend themselves if necessary," she says. "I want to educate, enable and empower women with practical, realistic strategies and techniques. If I can lift them up, build their confidence and help them create a mental and physical safety awareness, hopefully they will never become a crime statistic or hear themselves say  “I Never Thought It Would Happen to Me."

 "I want to bring out that “inner warrior” and teach women how to be “tough targets. I want to show women that you don’t have to be a martial arts expert, or a man, to learn the skills and gain the confidence to effectively protect yourself," she says. "I want easy to remember, but powerful techniques that will make the women say “WOW” I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD DO THAT!”
