ESD Australia is inspired to empower women, children and vulnerable populations through violence prevention education and accessibility of Empowered Self Defence by creating specifically designed programs that are supportive, sustainable, longstanding, comprehensive, inclusive and empowering.

 

Antonella's programs are proven to promote healing, confidence and resiliency through a trauma-informed lens.

 

We are dedicated to meaningful collaboration with community organisations in a coordinated approach that promotes urgently required primary prevention education, supported by evidence-based theory and practice to enable individuals to live a life free from fear and control.

​

Wisdom For Women, Antonella, believes in the inherent sovereignty of every individual, transcending cultural, age, religious, social status, and gender boundaries. My commitment lies in empowering individuals to defend themselves against the spectrum of abuse.

​

Early education is key, and I advocate for instilling the ability to recognise malicious, bullying, and tyrannical behaviours from a young age. Knowing these skills, individuals can respond effectively in real-time, preventing situations from escalating.

​

My teaching philosophy is rooted in theories of transformational adult learning, offering an environment of enjoyment, trust, sharing, and high-vibrational activities.

 

I go beyond teaching skills; I guide you in reconnecting with your inner power through the intricate connection of mind, body, and soul. The journey involves gentle support to help you gain profound insights into your personality using The Enneagram.

​

Join me on this transformative path towards self-empowerment and discover a renewed sense of confidence and strength. I will support you to live a life filled with resilience and personal growth.
