What will you learn
My classes take a person-centred approach, rooted in empathy, lived experience, and trauma-informed practice. I understand the impact that violence, harassment, and fear can have on women, trans, and non-binary folk, not only physically, but emotionally and psychologically.
Each class is designed to not only teach self-defence skills, but to help you explore the why behind them, so you can reconnect with your strength, your boundaries, and your sense of safety.
Whether you’re a survivor, someone seeking confidence, or just want to feel more prepared, you’ll be met with compassion and support every step of the way.
Inclusive Classes for All
To ensure everyone feels safe, seen, and supported, I offer separate self-defence classes for:
- Women
- Trans folk
- Non-binary folk
This helps create a more comfortable and affirming environment where each group can learn, grow, and support one another without fear of judgment or discomfort.
Your safety isn’t just physical — it’s emotional and psychological too. These classes are designed with that in mind.
