Book a Speaker Who Inspires, Empowers, and Equips
Did you know that feeling safe directly impacts productivity, loyalty, and overall well-being? Whether in the workplace, relationships, or community organizations, a sense of security is one of the most fundamental human needs.
But when uncertainty or fear creeps in, the mind and body react instinctively, assessing threats and making split-second decisions. Understanding this response—and knowing how to harness it—can be the key to resilience, confidence, and decisive action.
For over 30 years, I’ve spoken on stages around the world, and for the past 12 years, I’ve dedicated my work to Resiliency, Defense Tactics (both Mental and Physical), and Red Flag Indicators. My goal is to equip individuals and teams with the awareness, strategy, and confidence to navigate both everyday challenges and high-stakes situations.

You do not need to bring a firearm
to Conceal Carry Classes
As a former Federal Police officer, I can assure you, Firearms training is not one size fits all! Especially for females! That is why I designed my company differently. It's imperative in today’s world and climate that you receive the training done in a manner natural to you!
My firearms training will prepare you for any day-to-day situation where a higher level of defense is needed. Training with me means having opportunities to train for basic familiarity, your conceal carry, to a more proficient and advanced level with the same instructor- which means you get fluidity and an understanding of your natural abilities and learning style.
I offer various courses that will allow you to become better equipped to handle yourself and protect your loved ones should the need arise. You can begin with a Basic Handgun Familiarity Course or the Virginia Conceal Carry Course. I love doing all women's classes (but absolutely offer training for all individuals) and am happy to work one on one with you. Let me know your needs and let’s get a class set today!
