Amanda is a proud co-founder and facilitator of Empowerment in Self Defense, a Los Angeles-based trauma informed program that teaches practical and accessible verbal boundary setting and physical self defense skills. She believes deeply that all people no matter their age, gender, race, religion or otherwise, no matter where they are or at what time, should be able to live their lives without fear of what might happen to them.
In addition to her ESD instructor certification, she is a certified Lead Instructor with Impact Personal Safety, which teaches full contact physical self defense as well as verbal strategies.
In all of her work, there is an overarching truth: Your voice, your body, YOU are enough and you are worth fighting for!
