The ROAR Workshop’s Trauma-Sensitive Self-Defense is for anyone and can be tailored for those who may have experienced trauma, have sensory sensitivities, or find the idea of going to a gym daunting. Suitable for adults and youth, this workshop is designed for individuals with limited martial arts experience and varying comfort levels with physical movement.

I’ll guide you through gentle strategies to boost confidence, enhance awareness, respect personal boundaries, resolve conflicts, and learn basic self-defense techniques. This introductory workshop offers a nurturing starting point for anyone interested in self-defense or martial arts but unsure of where to begin.

Duration: 2hrs

Price: Sliding scale and donation options are available, please contact me to discuss.

*Please note that the ROAR self-defense workshop is an introductory program for gaining fundamental tools for using your voice and body for self-confidence and personal safety.  I work to enhance abilities that children and adults can more easily access, rather than teach techniques that take dedicated practice to master. This workshop is meant to be an addition to, rather than a replacement for ongoing martial arts classes or self defense classes.
