Hi, I’m Tina, founder and lead instructor of LifeForce Self-Defense.

​

As a certified self-defense instructor and registered nurse, I’m passionate about helping women feel more powerful and prepared in their everyday lives.

My journey started 15 years ago after facing tough situations, and I quickly realized self-defense is about more than just physical skills—it’s about confidence, self-trust, and standing strong.

You don’t need years of training or peak fitness to protect yourself. With the right knowledge and practice, you can feel more secure and in control. I believe self-defense education should be the norm, not the exception.

Let’s create a world where women live with courage, strength, and on our terms!

Also a registered nurse, Tina has 15 years of experience training under John Perkins, is a 5th-degree blackbelt and the second woman in John’s 50 years of teaching to achieve this rank.
