Recently retired from RCMP after 15 years. Born and raised in PEI. Four sisters and one brother so I got beat up a lot growing up. My Mom is my role model and rock. I have wanted to do this course since I started at Depot and can now put my complete focus and attention in helping women feel more confident and free from worry.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

Do you sell items online through Facebook Marketplace or other sites?

When selling something, do you have buyers come to your home, deliver the item to their location, or arrange to meet somewhere public?

Now imagine you've arranged to sell something to a woman, but a man shows up instead and asks to come inside.

What would you do in this situation?

I'd love to hear how you handle online buying and selling, especially if you've experienced something similar.

"That won't work where I live!"

I hear this regularly in the comments, especially from people living in larger cities.

But here's the thing. Awareness, avoiding distractions, and creating time and distance aren't limited to one city or another. These are universal safety principles.

And sometimes, despite our best efforts, our plans go to s**t.

That's why I teach women more than just awareness. I teach them how to recognize danger, react when necessary, defend themselves, and escape.

Because no matter where you live, you deserve to know how to protect yourself.

Not me. Not today. Not ever.

RIVERVIEW – NOVEMBER SELF-DEFENSE CLASSES!

Ladies, I've had several new registrations, and I'm looking to get as many women as possible through my Common Sense Defense for Women course this November!

I'm offering THREE OPTIONS to make scheduling easier!

OPTION 1 – JOIN AN EXISTING GROUP

November 9, 12 & 19
6:00–8:00 PM each evening

I already have one lady registered for these three dates. Would you like to join her?

OPTION 2 – WEEKEND COURSE

Saturday, November 21
Sunday, November 22
1:00–4:00 PM both days

Complete the entire six-hour course in just one weekend! Perfect for ladies who can't make evening classes.

OPTION 3 – PICK YOUR OWN THREE DATES

Can't make either of those options? No problem!

Available November evenings:

16, 18, 20, 23, 25, 26 & 30

All classes run from 6:00–8:00 PM.

Choose three dates that work for you, and I'll do my best to bring ladies together who have similar availability.

COURSE DETAILS

• Six hours of practical self-defense training
• Ladies ages 16 and above
• $200 per person
• Riverview, NB
• Registration and payment required before your first class

Please note that I won't be offering private one-on-one classes during November. My goal is to bring ladies together in small groups so I can accommodate as many women as possible.

INTERESTED?

Send me a message with the option you're interested in and the dates that work best for you!

You can also register with a friend, family member or coworker.

🚌 BUS SAFETY SERIES — INTRODUCTION

Before we get into the actual bus safety videos, there are a few important things I want every woman to keep in mind.

Where you're waiting, how aware you are of your surroundings, and the time and distance you give yourself can all play a role in your personal safety.

This is just the beginning. In the upcoming videos, we'll look at different situations you may encounter while waiting for the bus and how to better protect yourself.

Not me. Not today. Not ever.

Hi ladies,

I wanted to give everyone an update on the Shediac self-defense course.

I wasn’t able to proceed with this weekend’s course because we only had three ladies registered. I’m still hoping to get everyone who is interested into a course, so I have several options available.

Weeknight availability:

- October 29 & 30
- November 6, 9, 12, 16, 19, 20, 23, 26 & 30

The full course is 6 hours, completed over three 2-hour sessions.

If weeknights work for you, please send me as many of the dates above as you are available. I’ll compare everyone’s availability and try to put together three dates that work for the group, subject to availability at the Shediac Community Centre.

Weekend option:

I can also offer the course over two weekends:

Saturday, November 21 & Saturday, November 28

Either:
1:00–4:00 p.m. both days
or
5:30–8:30 p.m. both days

I already have two ladies interested in the weekend option, so if that works better for you, please let me know which time you prefer.

My goal is simply to find dates that work for enough ladies to make the course happen.

If you’re still interested, reply to this email with your availability and I’ll do my best to accommodate everyone.

BUS SAFETY SERIES

Ladies, how safe do you feel when you're taking the bus?

I'm starting a new series covering what I look for while waiting at the bus stop, getting on, choosing where to sit, and recognizing when something doesn't feel right.

Whether you take the bus every day or just occasionally, this series is for you.

What's your biggest safety concern when riding the bus? Let me know in the comments.

SHEDIAC – SELF-DEFENSE CLASSES!

Ladies, I'm looking to put together more self-defense classes in Shediac throughout October and November, and I'm offering flexible dates to make it easier for everyone to attend!

The course is 6 hours long, divided into three 2-hour classes. You'll need to attend 3 classes to complete the course, but please let me know as many of the available dates as you can attend. This will make it much easier for me to put groups together based on everyone's availability.

All evening classes run from 6:00 to 8:00 PM.

The cost is $200 per participant for the full 6-hour course.

If you're interested, please message me with all the dates that work for you. The more options you provide, the easier it will be to organize classes and accommodate as many ladies as possible.

IMPORTANT: If you've already emailed me, please check your inbox and spam/junk folder! I've been responding to inquiries, and I don't want anyone missing my replies.
