The Challenge

Your Team Needs More Than "Just Leave" Training

If you work with women impacted by domestic violence, toxic relationships, or trauma, you already know the typical training falls short.

The Standard Workshop Problem:

  • Oversimplifies: "Just leave, just set boundaries, just love yourself" doesn't account for the real complexity of abuse dynamics
  • Overgeneralizes: One-size-fits-all advice that doesn't meet people where they actually are
  • Lacks lived experience: Well-meaning experts who've never walked the path themselves
  • Focuses only on crisis: What to do in immediate danger, nothing about long-term healing
  • Misses integration: Addresses mind but ignores body, spirit, relationships, and life rebuilding

What You Actually Need:

  • Understands complexity: Content that honors the real dynamics of abuse and trauma
  • Immediately usable tools: Practical strategies participants can implement today
  • Trauma-informed delivery: Education that empowers without triggering or retraumatizing
  • Holistic approach: Addresses mind, body, emotions, and practical life skills
  • Lived experience + expertise: Guidance from someone who's been there AND has professional training

These workshops deliver real transformation, not just information.

Hope and Inspiration from a Survivor's Transformation Story

Every workshop includes Tania's personal transformation story from victim to survivor to Post-DV Thriver™. This authentic sharing provides hope, demonstrates that healing is possible, and shows what thriving (not just surviving) looks like. Attendees leave feeling inspired and believing transformation is possible.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked

Can the workshop be customized to our organization's specific needs?

What size audiences can you accommodate?

Virtual workshops accommodate up to 50 attendees for optimal interaction. In-person workshops can scale based on your space and goals—from intimate groups of 15-20 to larger audiences of 100+ for keynote presentations. We'll recommend the best format based on your attendance expectations.

How do I know which workshop topic is right for my organization?

During our consultation call, we'll discuss your organization's mission, your audience's needs, and your goals for the workshop. Based on this conversation, we'll recommend the most appropriate topic and format. We can also combine elements from multiple workshops to create a perfect fit.

Is the content appropriate for people currently in abusive situations?

Our workshops are designed for education and empowerment, and can be appropriate for various audiences. However, for individuals in active crisis, we recommend crisis intervention services first. We'll work with you to ensure the content and delivery are appropriate for your specific audience's situation and safety needs.

All attendees receive a comprehensive resource guide including workshop highlights, practical tools, recommended resources, and support hotlines. For virtual workshops, materials are provided digitally. For in-person workshops, we can coordinate printed materials or digital distribution based on your preference.

Virtual workshops automatically include recording for future internal use. For in-person workshops, recording can be arranged. We'll discuss usage rights and any restrictions during booking. Recordings are typically licensed for internal organizational use only, not for public distribution or resale.

How far in advance should we book?

We recommend booking 4-6 weeks in advance for virtual workshops and 6-8 weeks for in-person events to allow time for customization and logistics. However, we can sometimes accommodate shorter timelines based on availability. Contact us to discuss your specific needs and timeline.
