What is WellPower?
Health Coaching, Empowerment Self-Defense (ESD), and Personal Training are the foundational practices we provide to support your most empowered, healthy, and joyful life.
We work with individual coaching & training clients, and we team-teach self-defense to individuals and groups as large as 30.
We are Chicago-based, but we coach clients in any time zone, and our ESD workshops are designed for easy travel.

Health Coaching
What exactly is health coaching? In a nutshell, coaches provide both safe space to think through ideas and emotions, as well as constructive challenges to move out of a place of feeling "stuck". You could say we act as your habit-change trail guides. Show us where you want to go and we’ll work alongside you to create an individual plan that takes your unique life’s challenges and obstacles into consideration, providing the structure and accountability to make success inevitable.
Empowerment Self-Defense
Self-defense isn't about being a highly-skilled martial artist. It's about simple tools everyone can learn and use immediately in real-life situations with both strangers and people you know. In our ESD-based and AWSDA-certified workshops, we teach women, girls, and marginalized populations of every skill level valuable, non-violent de-escalation and avoidance techniques, as well as fundamental defense tactics against physical and sexual assault.
personal training
That first word is “personal” and that’s exactly the kind of workout we design and program for you. Whether you are looking to set new PRs, expand your workout library, or have never lifted a dumbbell in your life, our holistic, functional movement-based approach helps you develop strength, stability, endurance, and flexibility so that you can do the things you want to do… even better.
