Here's what some of our students have said about Safe & Sound training:
“…I always thought there was no way I’d learn how to defend myself in only a few hours - believe me, you learn. Simple, basic stuff is so unbelievably effective I was astonished. You don’t have to be particularly athletic or strong…just show up and walk away a different person 4 hours later. It’s totally great.”
Karen Goora, Casting Agent
“I am writing to let you know how very much we have appreciated having Safe and Sound...these past three years. The young women we work with have all been victims of sexual abuse or sexual assault….practicing self defense gives them a different experience of themselves…session is by far the most popular of our curriculum…We cannot thank you enough.”
Mary Ann Di Paolo, Program Coordinator,
West End Sexual Abuse Treatment Program
As a result of this session, we all came away feeling more self-confident about our ability to deal with a high-risk situation and ensuring that we remain “safe and sound”! Thank you again for your highly entertaining and educational session!
Cheryl Sproul - VP, Human Resources
