Why I Do This Work
As a survivor, my mission is deeply personal. One defining moment changed everything: the night I was roofied at a ballroom event. I was taken. I fought for my life. And from that fight, I found my purpose. That night fueled my drive to create a self-defense and empowerment curriculum, especially for women and girls.
Values
Mission
To amplify voices and guide individuals to take bold action, trust their inner strength, and speak their truths. I teach when to lean in, when to push back, and remind each woman that she is worth fighting for.
Educate. Elevate. Advocate. Empower.
At ElleLiveAction, we empower people through holistic self-defense training, equipping them with the confidence and skills to empower others in their communities. We teach
Empowerment Self-Defense
What is Empowerment Self-Defense (ESD)?
Empowerment Self-Defense (ESD) is more than just a violence prevention method, it’s a holistic approach to teaching people how to recognize danger, set boundaries, and respond to threats with clarity and confidence. Rooted in over 50 years of evidence-based practice, ESD empowers individuals to tap into their voice, strength, and intuition.
Why Empowerment Self-Defense Matters
Every day, people face situations that are uncomfortable, intimidating, or even dangerous. Yet many have never received the tools or training to navigate these moments safely. ESD teaches more than physical techniques, it’s about mental readiness, emotional resilience, and reclaiming control in your own life.
Our Mission at ElleLiveAction
At ElleLiveAction, I am committed to four guiding principles:
Educate. Elevate. Advocate. Empower.
I work with women, girls, and other vulnerable communities to build resilience and restore confidence through personalized training, workshops, and public speaking events. Each offering is designed to meet people where they are emotionally, physically, and mentally.
The Bigger Purpose: Healing & Empowerment
Self-defense is a life skill that everyone deserves access to. It’s a tool for empowerment, healing, and personal transformation. I believe strongly in advocating for preventative education, community support, and empowered healing. With this knowledge comes the responsibility and the passion to share it widely.

“The training not only affects me physically, but it has had a positive impact on my mind and emotions. Taking the action to sign up, show up, and remain diligent in building muscle memory has been one of the most valuable decisions I have ever made, and I don't have enough words to share my appreciation for what Tasha has given my life with the ElleLiveAction classes. I am thrilled to be attending another and continue training around such amazing people with the same goal for a better, safer, and empowered life!”

“You can tell that the instructor, Tasha, has a passion for what she is teaching and aims to guide you as you learn to empower yourself. I got the online course so that I could keep practicing, and I had to put this training to use, barely two months later, and I cannot express how grateful I am to have had the confidence I needed to get through that moment and to stand up for myself.”
~K.R.
“I signed up for this workshop out of fear, and I left there with not only the tools I needed but also with a choice to no longer be a victim. I was surprised at how simple it was to execute several ways to protect yourself from so many different scenarios, as I was under the false impression that it would be harder than it was (physically). From the information, techniques, and camaraderie that happened naturally, I can wholeheartedly say that it was a genuine experience that changed my life. Until I was going through the motions myself, I hadn't been aware of how nearly anyone is subject via anatomy, to these defenses, no matter how dominating their size may be.”
