Having a big mouth, I've always been confident in my ability to create conflict, but now I have the skills to de-escalate a conflict or use physical force when necessary. Now that I have multiple skills I can utilize, my big mouth doesn't always have to be my go to. I feel confident I can manage my adrenaline positively.

IMPACT Personal Safety of Colorado’s classes are life-changing, which is why, as founder of Parillume and host of the SHINE Soirée, a monthly interview show and community event celebrating the triumph of the human spirit in the aftermath of sexual violation, I have featured its work multiple times. IMPACT’s classes are not simply self-defense. Nor are they just boundary-setting. Their courses are “boots on the ground” transformation at the deepest level, real-time. The Women’s Basics Course changed my life, allowing me to safely overcome deep-seated beliefs and fears that had me paralyzed in the aftermath of child sexual abuse. Through their work, I found my fight – my voice and choice inside my body – and that is why I will never stop promoting and sharing with anyone who will listen, the impact IMPACT has made on my life and in the Parillume community!

I thought for many years that self-defense techniques would take many months of classes to obtain the basic knowledge to feel confident in potentially volatile situations. A few hours with IMPACT gave me the confidence to protect myself and my family. Thank you, IMPACT!!!

I am grateful that men and women exist in the world that see the need to teach a class like this, and that they are willing to make these kind of sacrifices to teach it. To hear some men say, "I came into this with a lot of male privilege" and to give women the dignity of fighting for themselves is priceless.

I took this class with my 17 year old niece and it was very powerful to have this experience together. Not only do I have confidence that both of us could protect ourselves in a dangerous situation, but it was also beautiful for us to have the experience of safety to support learning in a circle of incredible women.
