Testimonial: “In my twenty years as an administrator of women’s programs, I have hosted and attended dozens of self defense trainings. The self defense workshop conducted by Esteem’s Lauren Roselle is by far and away the best. It is truly a comprehensive training. By the end, participants really feel like they can take care of themselves in any situation. The feedback from students, staff, and faculty has been exceedingly positive and I am frequently asked to bring this training back so that folks can enroll their mothers, daughters, sisters and friends. I cannot say enough about this training. I firmly believe it is one of the most important things we offer.”
