" I had the privilege of attending the Empowered Self-Defense workshop today, which proved an incredibly transformative and practical experience. Antonella, our facilitator, personifies groundedness and empowerment. Throughout the workshop, her nurturing approach cultivated a secure and supportive environment for all participants. Her training went beyond merely teaching physical self-defense techniques; she instilled a profound sense of accountability, validation, and self-confidence. What truly sets Antonella apart is her exceptional ability to connect with each participant and tailor the course to meet the group's specific needs. In a world where women often contend with gaslighting, self-doubt, and stereotypical labels of too sensitive," too loud," too emotional," or too aggressive," all of which can erode self-confidence, Antonella was able to skillfully guide us back to a place of objectivity, strength, and self-assuredness. Antonella's work is undeniably essential. I sincerely hope that the significance of this course receives the widespread recognition it deserves. Her expertise could be a valuable addition to any program centered on self-fulfillment, advocacy, sovereignty, and more. Not only is Antonella a remarkable human, but she also exhibits high effectiveness and efficiency in her teaching methods. If you are seeking a workshop that seamlessly integrates conscious cognitive recognition, empowerment, and practical self-defence skills, I wholeheartedly recommend Antonella as your facilitator. This experience has proven invaluable, and it should be an integral part of the mainstream curriculum for our children.
