Hi, I’m Ayesha!

Welcome to She is Fierce – your resource for total empowerment. At She is Fierce, we believe that strength comes from within and there is an opportunity to feel empowered in everything you do. From practicing mindfulness and building self-confidence to learning how to establish and protect your boundaries, our programs will provide you with tools and strategies you can use no matter what the situation.

She is Fierce is all about supporting women in becoming their best self. Instead of just launching into a set well-being and mentorship plan, She is Fierce focuses on providing individual attention and customizing strategies so that each woman feels heard and empowered. The work begins by taking a look within and establishing a foundation from which to build on. We then work together to discover what ignites your passion and then we help you stoke that fire. Through seminars, workshops, and practical lessons, She is Fierce provides women with the tools they need to break through mental, emotional, and physical plateaus and work to reach higher ground. 

She is Fierce is built on two main concepts: strength comes from within and empowerment in everything. This serves as a foundation to remind you that you have the power within you to do whatever it is you want to do and if you choose the right mindset, you can find every action and decision you make to be one that cultivates that empowerment.

If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch! In the meantime, read through our blog posts and see how they resonate with you. Check out what workshops and seminars are on offer or sign up for one of our personal training sessions.

Jiu-Jitsu was my movement for today. Each session is always challenging, but the feeling of knowing you can defend yourself when put in uncomfortable, potentially dangerous situations is priceless. Day 3/40 #SheIsFierce #empowerment #jiujitsu #PlumPetalsFight @plumpetalsfit

Happy with my movement for today! I prefer working out early in the morning. I find the quiet time in the gym the perfect opportunity to center myself for the upcoming tasks of the day. How did you start your day? (Day 2/40) #SheIsFierce #fitness #empowerment

We have 40 days until the start of the new year. Even though the stress and anxiety, because of the uncertainty related to the pandemic, has been quite mentally and emotionally draining, I am resolving to do what I can to finish this year feeling good! Whether that is by getting in some more daily movement, being more mindful of what/how I eat, or finishing up some half-started projects, I want to start the new year reminding myself that I am capable and in control of many things in my life. How do you plan on finishing 2020? Share your goals below! #SheIsFierce #empowerment #lifestyle #goals @plumpetalsfit

Do you take time to play? Do you experiment with different types of expression? ✨ My main mode of expression is through words, written words to be precise. ✨ However, I also like to play around. Lately I’ve been drawn towards experimenting with colors - paints, charcoals, pastels, color pencils. ✨ It’s been interesting seeing seeing color blend into my words. ✨ It’s also been interesting practicing not being judgmental towards what shows up on the page. ✨ I have to remind myself that I am playing and let all thoughts of good, bad, right, wrong, pretty, ugly go. ✨ How do you play? #SheIsFierce #empowerment #play #write #paint #ShePlays

What's in your handbag? ✨While I don't actually carry around my Jiu-Jitsu belts or (training) weapons in my purse, what I DO carry around is the confidence and security I have knowing that I am able to defend myself. ✨Whether it is about confidently setting and enforcing my boundaries, remaining calm when under threat, or physically defending myself for survival, I have the tools and strategies necessary to keep myself safe. ✨Knowledge is power. ✨It's better to know how to defend yourself and not need to than need to and not know how. ✨To find out more how you can empower yourself with effective self-defense strategies, please get in touch! @womenempoweredgjj @plumpetalsfit #SheIsFierce #empowerment #selfdefense #WomenEmpowered

When things are not working out the way you had hoped, it is easy to let that feeling of defeat and frustration get you down. If that ever happens to you, allow yourself to feel that frustration, and then, when you're ready, dust yourself off and pick yourself back up again. ✨ The way you rebound from a setback can be an incredible opportunity for growth. ✨It can be that second chance you have been waiting for. ✨It can be the new start you have wanted. ✨Do not let defeats keep you down. ✨Believe in yourself and your ability to learn, change, and grow. ✨On the other side of struggle is hope and endless possibility.✨ #SheIsFierce #Empowerment #growth @fiercefitfight @plumpetalsfit

Self-defense is not about starting a fight. Self-defense is about knowing how to stand up for & defend yourself should you ever need to. Whether that defense is about setting verbal, physical, or emotional boundaries, the key is to have a set of reliable, effective strategies that you can turn to if needed. Why not arm yourself with as many protective and empowering strategies as possible? To learn more, please get in touch! {Pictured: The guillotine choke. A simple, effective chokehold that allows you to control your attacker and either negotiate with him or incapacitate him. The choice is yours. The power is yours.} #SheIsFierce #FierceDefense #jiujitsu #empowerment

Ayesha is an excellent jiu-jitsu teacher. She is calm and patient and takes the time to get to know you as a person in order for you to understand techniques and get the best out of your lessons.

I was introduced to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), Ayesha and the Gracie University by a kickboxing buddy. From the taster session alone with Ayesha I was intrigued by how simple yet effective the women empowered techniques we were shown proved to be. Despite being fearful of the full contact nature of BJJ, I soon became pleasantly aware that my mind was beginning to focus more on technique rather than full contact thus dispelling my initial fear of this martial art form. My progression through the Women Empowered curriculum under the guidance of Ayesha has been an amazing and hugely enlightening and rewarding journey. Every class was riveting and held my attention from start to finish. It simply amazes me at how such little force and effort could generate an incredibly effective defence system. I can definitely say BJJ has me hooked and the manner in which Ayesha has taught me, both the techniques and the mindset, make this martial art form feel more like a way of life. I am eagerly looking forward to developing my skills in and understanding of BJJ in more depth for many years to come.

I really enjoyed doing the Women Empowered training with Ayesha. The training was very gentle, and not intimidating. She always balanced pushing me just enough, while at the same time always made sure I was comfortable with everything we were doing. I found her to be very friendly and encouraging which was great for my confidence.

I have just completed my Women Empowered training with Ayesha and it really was a exhilarating experience. From thinking I can never remember it all, to actually doing it really has given me a huge amount of confidence. The overall experience was just fantastic, I was first introduced to the course with a 4 day taster over Christmas which I enjoyed so much more than I ever thought I would. (It was a brilliant Christmas present), and the mention of private lessons came up at the end of it. I thought on it a little while and when my situation allowed, I contacted Ayesha and started booking in privates. She is so professional, thorough, encouraging and kind and such a pleasure to learn from. She also is fantastic at listening, some things don't necessarily "click" straight away, when I explained why I was confusing things, she would take the time to see where my confusion came from, and help us work together to either create an association, demonstrate why it is done a certain way (by showing what would happen if you don't follow those steps) or help build it into my muscle memory all of which were a great help. She is so passionate about the course, you really can't help but get super excited about it too. As well as really enjoying working through the techniques, and getting excited when they start to feel more natural, and really make sense, I really enjoyed the later training, prior to the test, when we would video running through the test, and Ayesha would send me a critique of the video and the video, so I could sit and watch it back, and really see the areas for fine tuning as it was from a different perspective, as sometimes, "in the moment" you can't always tell the finer details are correct or not. Overall, I think every single woman should take the time to learn this course, it is really empowering and Ayesha is a brilliant teacher. It was such a brilliant decision made that I will never regret.

Ayesha is an inspiring leader. She shows what full commitment to oneself means. Total health, mental and physical, along with understanding the forces that can energize you to be the change agent empowering self and others is what she accomplishes with her advice and her spirit. She can build a turnaround for all of us. I personally am a stronger more focused person since I was introduced to Ayesha.

I have been through two Whole Life Challenges as part of Ayesha's team, and I strongly recommend her team because she's a great coach. She combines realistic, practical advice with a can-do attitude and really takes the time to connect with each member of the team, even though there are many people involved.

When I first met Ayesha I had no martial arts training but a strong desire to be able to defend myself if I ever needed to. With her help and guidance I managed to learn and work through the Women's Empowered Gracie self-defense course, I can now proudly say I have earned not only a pink belt, but the confidence and knowledge of how to handle myself in dangerous situations. This would not have been possible without Ayesha. Ayesha is patient and makes sure you understand the techniques before moving onto the next move, that being said, she also provides you with a healthy dollop of motivation and encouragement at the same time and makes sure you are making progress during each lesson. I cannot recommend her enough and in fact already recommended her to a someone who had lessons with her and successfully completed the Women's Empowered course as well.

Ayesha has been my online team leader on the Whole Life Challenge for a few challenges. She’s very knowledgeable about nutrition and exercise. She’s also very understanding about life sometimes getting in the way. She always has a suggestion or a word of support and she’s always there for her team wherever they may be.
