Group coaching blends self-guided learning with the power of collective growth. Participants move through self-led coursework focused on inner empowerment, then deepen that learning through guided group coaching sessions centered on Empowerment Self-Defense—turning insight into embodied skill. This experience offers more than education. It creates a supportive, connected community where peers learn alongside one another and explore their personal empowerment journey through weekly live calls. Each group is intentionally supported, with curriculum thoughtfully tailored to meet the unique needs, goals, and areas of focus of those participating.

Empowerment Self-Defense (ESD) is a 50+ year, evidence-based approach to violence prevention, developed to support women and other vulnerable populations in building safety, confidence, and choice.
This work goes far beyond physical technique. ESD equips individuals with practical tools to recognize risk, interrupt violence as it’s unfolding, and respond effectively when needed—while staying connected to their voice, boundaries, and inner strength. This is not a martial arts class. Instead, we explore the mental, emotional, and physical dynamics behind unsafe situations. Participants learn to set boundaries, use de-escalation strategies, and navigate challenging verbal interactions—whether addressing harassment, bullying, or escalating behavior. Through my online self-defense and empowerment courses, you’ll learn real-world responses to common situations people face every day, grounded in awareness, clarity, and self-advocacy. Below, you’ll find descriptions of each class so you can explore what best supports your goals and needs.

“Tasha’s course is extremely informative and thorough. I appreciated the breakdowns of seeing Tasha do the move on someone, having someone else do the move, and then Tasha solo making sure you see all details and aspects of the moves. Her homework assignments and questions were extremely helpful, encouraging people to question safety planning at home. The course was helpful being broken down into multiple classes that you can revisit to practice. I am a trauma specialized mental health therapist. I cannot stress enough, the importance of safety training and education as a way to navigate the emotions with situations associated with trauma. The result is becoming empowered again. I highly recommend this course for everyone as it teaches so much. Thank you for this service, Tasha!”
