Mother-Daughter Empowerment Class

📅 SUNDAY, DEC 28th - Nyack

1:00–2:15 pm • $90 per pair

A diverse group of adults in business-casual attire stands in a sunlit conference room, engaged in animated discussion around a table with safety manuals and coffee cups. The scene conveys anticipation and collaboration, with warm natural light and soft shadows, evoking a welcoming, professional atmosphere.

A Holiday Moment That Stays With Her Long After the Season Ends

In a season full of gifts, events, and distractions, this class gives you something deeper — a shared experience that strengthens your bond and gives her skills she’ll use for years.

You’ll learn and cheer each other on side-by-side, walking away with something that helps her trust herself more fully and move through the world with clearer instincts.

And you’re showing her — by example — to take control of her safety, her space, and her voice. It's not about fear. It’s about giving her inner certainty — and giving you peace of mind.

What You’ll Learn

  • Practical skills she can use anywhere — walking to the car, hanging out with friends, navigating social situations.

  • How to trust her instincts (and act on them) — recognizing early signals before a situation escalates.

  • How to speak up with clarity and confidence — using her voice without guilt or hesitation.

  • A shared language for safety — phrases and tools you can reference together long after class.

  • A deeper bond — an experience that brings you closer in a meaningful, memorable way.

Who It’s For

👭 Why Moms Love This Class

Because it gives you something every mother wants: the relief of knowing she’s walking into a new year more aware, empowered, and prepared. And she’ll remember this moment — not just for what she learned, but because you did it together.

I" am former law enforcement and took this class as a refresher, and brought my mother. I would highly recommend this class for everyone...The amount that they were able to instruct and demonstrate in only 90 minutes was incredible. I am hoping to sign up with them for another class."

"Tina, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for last night’s mother-daughter self-defense session. It exceeded my expectations. Education, real life examples, and hands-on drills with you and your team. Thanks to you, my college-bound daughter and her high school friends (and their moms!) gained a new realization of how to be proactive and aware...I already slept easier last night, knowing my daughter and her friends are armed with knowledge and skills to keep them safer on a daily basis. For that I am so grateful. Thanks again!"
