What people are saying

  • I understand now why this course is called IMPACT.  Not only have I learned a ton of skills for protecting myself physically, mentally, or emotionally if needed, but mainly I've been given the gift of my voice and power back.
  • This was an amazing opportunity to integrate parts of myself I wasn't sure could connect before. I was able to face my fear and heal because of the expert training, techniques and the totally safe space that was created.
  • I will recommend this course to everyone I know. I feel so much more confident with myself now that I can defend myself, and am so lucky to have been able to learn it in such a supportive environment.
