Her story is one of resilience, grit, and an unyielding desire to help others.
Carrie's path to recovery wasn't a straight line; it was filled with unexpected turns that led her to martial arts and eventually to teaching karate. But her passion didn't stop there. She delved into violence prevention, psychology, communication, and even bodyguard training to better equip women and children to navigate real-world dangers. Over a decade in the self-defense industry has transformed Carrie into a beacon of hope for many.
