My name is Justina,
I founded RISE Self-Protection.
Learning to stand up for my boundaries and protect myself changed the entire trajectory of my life.
When I started my self-protection journey, I figured I'd learn some cool techniques to fight off an attacker, but what I didn't anticipate was how the mindset and belief that I was worth defending would infiltrate and transform every relationship I'd have for the rest of my life.
The life-altering positive impact that these skills have had on my life are too many to count and I think these skills can transform your life, too.

My journey to becoming a self-protection coach has been profoundly shaped by personal experiences, propelling me towards specializing in setting boundaries, personal space, and healthy relationship boundaries. This journey began in childhood and was catalyzed by a harrowing experience where I narrowly escaped trafficking. It was then that I discovered Brazilian jiu-jitsu, which became a beacon of hope, teaching me that I was worth defending and bolstering my personal boundaries.
Earning my blue belt from Rener and Ryron Gracie in 2014 marked a pivotal point in my commitment to personal safety and the empowerment of others. My training evolved under Rener and Eve Gracie, where in 2020, I became a certified trauma-informed jiu-jitsu instructor. This training enriched my understanding of the multifaceted nature of self-defense, blending physical skills with assertiveness training and psychological resilience.
In 2022, I founded Rise Self-Protection, a venture dedicated to offering comprehensive self-protection education. Our focus extends beyond physical techniques, emphasizing personal space, assertiveness, and healthy relationship boundaries. My mission is to instill strength and confidence in women+, particularly in marginalized communities, empowering them to assert their boundaries and reclaim their personal power.
My efforts have been recognized widely, including a nomination for the Wyoming Business Reports Women of Influence award and being named one of the Wyoming Business Reports 30 under 40. During the Covid 19 pandemic, I embraced digital platforms, notably TikTok, to disseminate empowering content on personal safety and boundary setting. This led to a significant following of over 170k and opportunities to feature on platforms like the Today Show.
In every aspect of my work, from our online self-defense courses to our interactive workshops, we prioritize the development of strong personal boundaries, empowering individuals to navigate various spaces – physical and digital – with confidence and awareness.
