You know those encounters: a young dude eyeballing you across the parking lot or on the bus, a sleazy guy trying to chat and buy you a drink at the dance club, or the too-chatty friend of a friend introduced at a party. Maybe your brother-in-law is giving you a look that gives you the chills, a new co-worker's overly-personal questions puts you on edge, or a client's comments suggest his prime interest isn't business. Let’s face it, every female over the age of 14 (and many under that age) has experienced a creepy approach.
And this thought flashes through your mind: Could he, would he harm me?
I help you answer that question. And, if the answer is yes, what to do about it.

Self-defense skills are not only for those few times in your life you have
a scary encounter. Self-defense should be an integral part
of your living strategy.
Why Your Most Powerful
Self-Defense Weapon Is Already Inside Your Head
You've probably seen self-defense demonstrations. Maybe you even
attended classes.
If you're like many women, you think self-defense means kicking your
attacker in a very sensitive and strategic spot.
Physical defense will always be
part of the game plan. Sometimes you have no choice.
But when you live strategically, your most important self-defense
weapon is your well-prepared brain.
You will increase your odds of
walking away from a risky situation when
you know:
- How to choose words that make an attacker likely to decide,
“I’m outta here!”
- How to walk into a room so you signal, “Don’t mess with me
–
I’m not an easy target”
- How to foil the most common sneaky ploys used to get past
your defenses
- How to enhance your awareness of your environment
- How to use your voice to protect yourself with power
- How to recognize when you're not letting yourself see
warnings of abuse and danger
- What to do if the worst happens and you must defend
yourself physically,even if he’s bigger than you are
