I travel the US and the world speaking to and training women and gender inclusive groups with my award-winning, interactive, and evidence-based violence prevention keynotes, seminars & workshops.
Learn simple and accessible verbal and physical empowerment-based personal safety and self-defense skills you can start using TODAY!
Self-defense education is about more than physical skills!
I work with companies of all sizes and from all industries as well as universities, the US Military, outdoor groups, conferences, healthcare teams, tribal nations, private groups, and more.
Let me show you how to be LIMITLESS!

Respond to uncomfortable or dangerous encounters.
