restorative strength, combatives & healing practices

Get Started

Private / Semi-private Training

One-on-one or small group instruction in a motivating, focused, and controlled environment from a trauma-sensitive lens.

Focused Foundations

Never skip the basics! The foundations of strength and self-protection are the core of a fit mind and body. Learn proper form, breathing, posture, and full-body engagement. Mastering and returning to the basics will give you the necessary skills for everyday survival and true longevity.

Healing Modalities

Recovery is just as important as prevention. As survivors, our bodies can compensate for many conditions. Retrain a dysregulated nervous system by developing a practice at the intersection of movement, meditation, and mindfulness—a holistic way of being.

Physical Literacy

Feel confident in your body and explore playful activities again. Disrupt everything you know about physical training and build a skill base emphasizing movement quality. You will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to succeed in your daily life through self-protection and movement wellness.

Restorative Strength

Discover effective strategies to address common ailments and discomforts in your daily life. Improve your mobility by adopting a mixed modality approach that incorporates kettlebell lifting, calisthenics, and other versatile training tools. Start with a Movement Wellness Assessment to gauge your current movement capabilities and determine the most suitable programs that will best support your goals.

Movement Wellness Assessment – $75

Self-protection / CQC Courses

Equalize. Outsmart. Dominate. Cultivate a vigilant mindset, adapt to any environment, and exploit any tool at your disposal through effective, dynamic, and systematic training measures. Gain the confidence and critical skills to excel in close-quarters combat, increasing your chances of survival. Get moving immediately with foundational, strategic, and tactical footwork.

Students must begin with the Power Up workshop, a progressive 60-minute one-on-one session focusing on mindset conditioning and building foundational striking mechanics.

Power Up Workshop – $100

Interdisciplinary Programs

Take yourself to the next level. Experience unmatched performance and mastery of skill and self through an integrated approach […balanced blend] of restorative arts and tactical conditioning. Mobility, strength, agility, combatives… No matter where you are on your journey, no matter your physical ability, this training is for you.

I'm AQ.

I’m thrilled to have you here. My goal is to foster a resilient and secure community, emphasizing self-reliance, strength, and personal safety. I’ve had the privilege of empowering individuals through personal training and self-protection, as well as assisting those recovering from various musculoskeletal conditions.

Having overcome a traumatic experience, I had to undergo a process of mental and physical retraining to support my recovery and reclaim control over my life. This journey has significantly influenced my approach to teaching and coaching. When we collaborate, you’ll be working with someone committed to continuous self-improvement, understanding your unique needs, and aiding you in building confidence in your body’s ability to defend itself against injuries and external threats.

I am dedicated to being attentive to your personal journey, championing you through challenges and celebrations alike. My ultimate goal is for you to leave each session with an enhanced quality of life and a renewed enthusiasm to strengthen your abilities and discover your capabilities. My hope is for your healing and empowerment. Let’s embark on this journey together.

"I feel immensely privileged to share my journey with AQ, an extraordinary personal trainer & coach whose impact on my life has been nothing short of transformative. AQ's expertise goes beyond the conventional realms of personal training, but she encompasses a holistic approach that has addressed scoliosis, uneven hips, and severe daily pain, while also achieving remarkable results in weight loss and toning. I sincerely want to express my gratitude for AQ's exceptional contributions to my overall health and well-being.

AQ's approach to pain management has been a game-changer for me. Her nuanced understanding of the body has translated into customized workouts that not only alleviate pain for me but also contribute to my overall health. AQ's attention to detail, coupled with a keen awareness of the limitations I used to have, created a safe and effective environment for addressing the challenges posed.

I wholeheartedly recommend AQ to anyone seeking a personal trainer who goes above and beyond. Her expertise in managing daily pain, facilitating weight loss, and achieving toning goals is unparalleled. AQ is not just a trainer; she is a dedicated partner in the pursuit of a healthier, happier, and more empowered life."

I just completed my 6 weeks self-defense training with AQ. She has taught me so many life-saving skills and tactics, like how you can use anything to defend yourself. The world hasn’t been the same since the pandemic and especially, as a woman, we should be even more aware of our surroundings. We practiced real life scenarios and this has made me feel more confident knowing that I have the knowledge and skills to defend and protect myself in any situation. Not only is AQ a great self-defense instructor, she also has an educational background in corrective exercise. She worked with my knee and ankle injuries and even provided corrective exercises for me to do at home. These exercises helped me heal so much quicker than I expected. I have decided to continue my training with AQ to learn other types of self-defense and to continue to practice what I have already learned. If you’ve been wanting to take self-defense classes, I highly recommend AQ.
