Testimonial

Alyssa C

I ended a domestically violent relationship in 2014 in which I was a victim of years of physical and emotional abuse. It left me feeling like a shell of myself. The confident, outgoing, and carefree person I was no longer existed. Despite what I thought I knew, through years of education, individual therapy and experience, I was ignorant to the feelings I would be left with and the wake it would leave in the relationships to come.

Through recommendations and my connections with the martial arts community, I was thankful to find Fortifying Survivors.

I took the self-defense class which helped me to take my power back giving me the confidence to not only gain back my own strength, but to grow and prevent further victimization in the future.
