— What People Say
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
“It is such a pleasure to be in one of Nuna’s sessions–right away, Nuna creates a joyful and exciting atmosphere that is absolutely contagious! Our group had so much fun in her sessions, and everyone felt safe to share ideas, dance, let loose, and to be themselves. Though a serious topic, Nuna’s approach to mindful self defense was both lighthearted and trauma informed. She is such a pleasure to share space with, and I highly recommend Nuna’s classes to any person or organization looking to experience a dynamic, fun, and cathartic session! “

“To work with Nuna is to encounter a champion of the silenced and marginalized who moves those community members to the center, not just in words but action. Nuna is able to spark meaningful connection with so many because of her authenticity, her rootedness in community, and the many skills as a nonprofit leader that she brings to each project. Without Nuna the work would be greatly diminished, in quality and impact.”
