My Story

Hi, I'm Mandi
After being abused and stalked, I got tired of the fear and decided it was up to ME to be safe.
Over the past decade I’ve spent countless hours and thousands of dollars in personal, hands-on training with
- Top level self-defense instructors
- A 40 hour advocacy course at a local women’s shelter
- A Citizen’s Academy through my local police department
I am now my own bodyguard. And I can’t wait to share with YOU the best resources that helped me transform from feeling unsafe and worried to having my OWN ability to protect myself and son with more peace!
I never want anyone to feel trapped and scared like I did.
