Founder of Valeria Protection & Sacred but Savage

I believe every woman deserves to feel powerful in her body, steady in her mind, and fully capable of protecting what matters most.

Not just trained. Transformed.

For over 20 years, I’ve lived this work. I hold a fourth-degree black belt in combat kempo karate, a brown belt in jiujitsu, and have dedicated nearly a decade to mastering close-contact defense. My training began when I was five years old — but my mission was born the moment I realized how many women feel unsafe, unprepared, and unsure of their own power.

I’m also a competitive shooter in USPSA, blending real-world situational training with high-level firearms instruction. My approach fuses technical skill, tactical awareness, and trauma-informed education — because true protection goes far beyond physical defense. It’s nervous system regulation. It’s boundary setting. It’s situational command. It’s embodied confidence.

When I first started Valeria Protection, I knew I wasn’t just wanting to creat another self-defense program.

I wanted to build a movement.

A place where women could reclaim strength without sacrificing softness.

Where elegance could sit alongside power.

Where corporate leaders, trauma survivors, and everyday women could all rise — trained, equipped, and untouchable.

Today, through Valeria Protection and Sacred but Savage, I help women and organizations alike:

• Build practical self-defense skills

• Heal the nervous system through breathwork and regulation

• Understand hormones and body-based resilience

• Create safe cultures in corporate environments

• Have a community that helps educate on any topic the modern woman needs

• Carry concealed weapons with precision and confidence

• Reclaim personal power, one trained decision at a time

Whether you’re here for personal training, corporate seminars, or to join our community of powerful women —

you belong.

And I’m honored to walk this journey with you.
