A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Georgina. As a student at uni and entering into adulthood, I became increasingly aware of my vulnerability and noticed how that intrinsic fear leads us to modify our plans and subconsciously risk assess our decisions. I was keen to alleviate this fear by learning some effective self defence but struggled to find any local self defence workshops focusing on everyday life rather than mastering a martial art. I began boxing which I loved and made me feel stronger but not better prepared to handle uncomfortable situations day-to-day.

Catalysed by the conversations stimulated by seemingly relentless news stories of women being attacked, I decided I myself would start these self defence sessions for women and girls looking to reclaim their independence.

​

I trained with the National Federation for Personal Safety and I'm now one of only a few trainers in the UK with a Level 3 BTEC in Self Defence Instruction. I now offer 1hr workshops covering what you can legally do to protect yourself, utilising the stress response, breakaway techniques, striking and effective personal safety advice. I've run countless workshops for groups of friends, mums and daughters, organisations and schools and I absolutely love it!

​

The focus of a LiveSafely session is totally on how you feel, re-training you to have a constructive mindset and to look for sources of support rather than just threats. I'll ensure you leave the class feeling so much more powerful than you were before, better prepared for any tricky situation you may face. You may share your own experiences of difficult times when you'd felt under threat, but you'll also end up hysterically laughing 'strangling' your partner and letting our your frustrations on the pads.

​

Get in touch, I'm excited to meet you!
