EMPOWERED Focused Self-Defense

Michelle is AWESOME!!! She is super fun, so smart, and so real! She gives off this amazing vibe that is like a combination of strength and understanding, or confidence and compassion. She is goofy and fun, and she was able to make me feel so comfortable after an incident where I was attacked, and made to feel so scared and small. I have had two private sessions with Michelle, so far, and I am getting so much out of these classes! Plus, she is super easy to work with because I have a crazy, busy schedule so she makes time for me on the weekends and even comes right to my house!
It was my mom’s idea for me to see Michelle, and at first I wasn’t sure if I wanted to take self-​defense, but it has been so awesome! What I like about Michelle’s teaching style is that it isn’t all just physical stuff, Michelle also teaches you awesome tools about awareness and how to prevent a scary incident from happening to begin with. She gives homework, and you can tell she really, genuinely cares about your wellbeing. After meeting with her, I actually feel empowered, I feel safer and I feel more confidence in general. I really admire Michelle as a teacher and also just as a person. I would recommend her to anyone. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars.

Michelle is a wonderful instructor who really helps students feel empowered and knowledge. I was so lucky to have a class offered through my work this week and it was one of the most useful trainings I’ve ever taken.

A group of friends and I had Michelle come out and teach us and our teenage daughters the 2 hour class today. I thought the material she covered was very relevant to real life situations and was presented in a fun and engaging way. We had a really great time together and felt we learned how not to be seen as targets as well as some great moves if we ever found ourselves in a dangerous situation. My daughters even came home and showed their dad what they learned. I would highly recommend Michelle’s class, especially for moms and daughters as it opened up some great dialog!

I hate classroom settings because I get bored very easy. However Michelle injects humor in her class to help keep things interesting and her style of teaching is fabulous. I felt very empowered and I really believe the things she taught us will stick in my mind and not fly out of my memory if I was in danger. I would recommend this class to every woman and I even took home the literature to go over it with my mother and daughter. Thank you so much Michelle.

Days before she was supposed to leave for Europe, my daughter was without a self-​defense option. Understanding this, Michelle quickly created custom lesson plans and came to our home for the training sessions. Michelle’s methodologies are comprehensive, fun, rigorous and extremely user friendly. She handles the physical, emotional and psychological aspects of self-​defense, tailoring her approaches to a wide variety of aptitudes that women may have when thinking about safety and self-​defense. Her classes were extremely useful and quickly prepared my daughter for having the right state of mind for traveling alone. Michelle’s the real deal! Compassionate, firm when the lessons require it, creative, and most importantly, fun, she gets the job done AND charges extremely reasonable rates in the process. Got a woman in your life that you love or care for? Michelle will get them up to speed in no time.
