"What I learned is that physical abuse is one way to get hurt, but emotional abuse can hurt too. I took that back and shared it with a friend who really needed to hear it. And my daughter now realizes that she doesn’t have to use her fists, she can use her voice and still defend herself. The workshop really helps build?confidence."

"I thought self-defense was all about kicks and punches. While fending off an attacker is an important skill, learning how to prevent a potentially dangerous situation is an even greater tool. It was exhilarating to see the changes in myself and classmates’ demeanor's as seeds of self-belief and awareness were firmly planted and ready to grow."

"Lila’s instruction is an amazing mind-opening, confidence building, practical experience in the art of personal safety. The techniques I learned were simple and effective and the group exercises helped me move from a mind set of victim to a woman of empowerment." 

-Mary Larson, California

   "Safety Awareness Training not only stimulates your awareness, it creates a bridge to the physical, mental, and emotional bodies. This class allows people to take charge of their lives, to become empowered, physically become stronger, mentally be more alert to their surroundings, and finally, to reconnect emotionally.  For me, it has helped define better who I am; allowing me to believe in myself again."?
