Because You Are Worth Fighting For
Aloha from Maui, and Welcome!
I’m Tasha Ina Church, Founder of ElleLiveAction and an Empowerment Self-Defense Coach. I'm so glad you're here.
Here’s something I want you to remember: you are worth the investment. Your mental, physical, and emotional well-being matters. And when you commit to creating safe and brave spaces for yourself, you begin to design a life where you don’t just survive, you thrive.
At ElleLiveAction, I offer empowerment coaching that centers advocacy, safety, healing, and personal power. I support clients from all walks of life in breaking through barriers, reclaiming their voice, and becoming the architects of their own stories.
Why I Do This Work
As a survivor, my mission is deeply personal. One defining moment changed everything, it was 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.

Self-Care for Coaches
Imagine a world where everyone had enough self-care. Let's broaden the thought of self-care beyond manis and pedis. Think if everyone had enough self-nourishment, time to take care of their physical, mental, and emotional needs. What would our world look like? What if we set aside time for morning routines to spend with those we love? When making a living, what happens to having a life?
Empower YOU: For Empowered Coaches
Empowerment Self-Defense is about standing in your power, preventing violence, neutralizing threats, safely escaping danger, & what to do after events occur. It includes tools for healing from trauma, whether physical or not. This approach emphasizes verbal assertiveness & boundary-setting, using game-based and trauma-informed learning.
Empowerment Retreat
Self-Empowerment comes through self-care, a deeper connection to self, and the needs that have been denied. This workbook is here as a guide to ask questions and get a better understanding of your empowerment journey that got you here and the next level of your process of empowerment.
Elevate You.
Empowerment is more than safety, it’s knowing your voice has power, your story matters, and you are worth fighting for.

Re-gain Your Confidence in YOU
Empowerment Self-Defense (ESD) is one avenue for training I do with clients. ESD is a method of violence-prevention, educating women dealing with adverse situations. ElleLiveAction is here to Educate, Elevate, Advocate, and to Empower Women and Girls, along with other vulnerable communities! These trainings, private sessions, workshops, and public speaking engagements bring together people from all walks of life and address troubling issues that need to be voiced. People all over the world are dealing with adverse situations everyday, some escalating to violent attacks. Empower Self-Defense training is a 50-year Evidence-Based practice most have an idea of, yet not nearly as many as we would like have experienced it first-hand. In addition to this awareness, I also get how triggering the topic of defending oneself can be. I have talked to so many people throughout Maui, who have shared with me that they don’t believe they need to learn self-defense as if this knowledge is to prevent future attacks solely. While preventing future assaults is a part of my work and mission, having an understanding of self-defense is for so much more than that alone!
With that being said, I am always going to Advocate for Preventative Measures, Empowerment, & Empowered Healing. Learning the skill of self-defense serves other vital purposes as well that I believe all people would benefit from. With this knowledge comes a responsibility for me to share and spread the word.

I Am POWERFUL & I EMPOWER Others
With Empowerment Self-Defense Training
Whether you're an existing Life Coach and you want to add EMPOWERMENT and SELF-DEFENSE tools to your coaching toolbox OR you are interested in self-defense and would LOVE to teach it to others, you will LOVE this Empowerment Self-Defense Life Coach Certificate!
Looking at common attacks people have to face, I pulled the moves that were effective while wearing everyday clothing and that were practical to create workshops and courses which I know to be effective and has saved lives.
This course has been broken down to show how I teach multiple types of attacks:
Wrist grabs
Lapel grabs
Strangleholds
Hair grabs
Behind the back
Against the wall
Against the floor
For each type of attack, you will learn multiple self-defense counter attacks, however the course goes beyond that. Additionally, self-defense is more than just attacks and counters. It is more than just physical responses and moves. It is also your situational, social, and emotional awareness. It is about learning how to set clear boundaries and how to de-escalate situations before they start. I pulled some of my best tools, strategies, and choices to create this course.
We will go over:
Self-empowerment
Boundary setting
De-escalation
Safety planning
Situational, social, and emotional awareness.
Students who complete this course will receive an official life coach CERTIFICATION from Transformation Academy. This course is also accredited by internationally recognized Continuing Professional Development Standards Agency (Provider No: 50134), and 10 CPD/CEU credits are available upon request.
Teaching Self-Defense isn't just about teaching physical moves. It is understanding that YOU have a VOICE and that voice has POWER and it deserves to be heard. This is important for clients and students to know. It is about preventative action and empowering yourself to know that in any fight, be it physical, emotional, or psychological, YOU ARE WORTH FIGHTING FOR!

TESTIMONIAL
“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 really was (physically). From the information, techniques, and comradery 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.”
“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.”
“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!” ~R.C.
In my Online Self-Defense classes or in-person classes for females near me, students learn how to understand that fear can be our intuition sending us messages. In workshops and trainings on Maui in the Hawaiian Islands, along with in Washington State and globally, I take my clients beyond a place of FEAR and aid them, giving them the tools to tap into Their Own POWER.
