There are no guarantees of personal safety and, all too often, we think it will happen to someone else. But, remember, to someone else, you are someone else. That’s why we prepare teens and young women to navigate their world with safety and confidence JUST IN CASE.
How do we do that? By shining a light on simple strategies, practical skills and self-defense techniques they need to have. We will teach girls to think smart and do whatever it takes to avoid danger and avert violence. We help build their confidence and teach them to tap into and act on their intuition. We will teach them to take charge of their safety and the power of being prepared.
Empower the Girls training is the seat belt of personal safety. It can reduce their risk and save their life!
We focus on the positive and bring the fun into learning. Our classes are engaging, interactive and easy to follow – no matter age, size or ability. Sign up for a class or contact us to organize a session or presentation for your group or organization.

HOW YOU CAN HELP
“I learned self-defense isn’t only about physical protection but it’s about the mental change through to thought process, confidence and believing in yourself – knowing what to do before it happens.”
“Very influential course. I learned so many life lessons.”
“I feel more confident and ready for anything.”
“I feel more confident that I can get out of a tough situation.”
“I liked the reality and truth of the course.”
“Every human should take this course – very empowering!”
“This is an essential program for any woman/teen who ever asks herself “what would I do if…? I feel empowered to survive what I thought would be in survivable acts of violence.”
“Thank you so much for this class. I was so impressed and it is probably the most important class the girls will ever take. We all learned so much and I just can’t thank you enough. I will definitely be spreading the word.”
“Very important information. Should be required in all schools!”
“Essential information, potentially lifesaving! Everyone should have these skills, they are empowering.”
“I had so much fun and learned things I probably wouldn’t have thought twice about.”
“Definitely very important for all girls to take.”
“Ellen van Olden is my new hero! Empower the Girls should be at the top of every high school parent’s list if they have a daughter. From the first moment I had the privilege of speaking with Ellen, I was impressed with her passion and dedication to her mission for empowering young women. I felt fortunate she made time to speak at our conference and share her story and program with our attendees. Her presentation was incredibly powerful and all of our attendees were blown away by her demonstration. Ellen is an inspiration to a whole new generation. I can’t sing her praises enough!”
