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.

A simple, practical self-protection strategy for you to keep in mind. ✨ Nowadays a lot of stores ask for your personal contact info upon checkout. If you can refuse (and want to), go for it. If, however, you do want to share your info, either write it down for them or say it quietly so strangers around you can’t hear. ✨ You never know what simple, practical steps can help keep you safe. ✨ #SheIsFierce #empowerment #selfdefense #PlumPetalsFight

While it would be ideal if workplaces and schools supported mental health days, until they are officially recognized and implemented, we can still do little things to press pause and regroup. ✨ Here are a few tips you can follow to ease off some of the pressure and stress and start making some space for ease and calm. ✨ First of all, take it easy on yourself. There are enough external pressures to weigh us down, we don’t need to add to that weight with unnecessary and unrealistic expectations. You don’t have to be productive every single day. Take a break. ✨ Be intentional with your rest and recovery time. ✨ Don’t overwhelm yourself with too many tasks. Stick to the essentials for the day. Then, when you’re rested and ready, you can take on other tasks. ✨ What do you do to give yourself a mental break? ✨ #SheIsFierce #empowerment #OwnYourSpace #TellYourStory #MentalHealth #wellness #PlumThoughts

What direction do you find yourself facing more often? The direction in which you’re looking at things you cannot change or the direction in which you’ve still got possibilities and opportunities? ✨ While I’m not minimizing any struggles or challenges, a lot of times our difficulties are amplified and feel heavier because we choose to continue to focus on them instead of shifting our attention to areas of our life where we have more control. ✨ Is it always easy? No. It is possible though. Give it a try! ✨ Drop your thoughts below! ✨ #SheIsFierce #empowerment #OwnYourSpace #TellYourStory #MentalHealth #wellness #PlumThoughts

Sometimes, no matter how much you like your friends or have a desire to be involved in social activities, anxiety can take over and make even the simplest occasion feel like an overwhelming task. ✨ Here’s the bottom line: You don’t have to socialize with anyone you don’t want to. That being said, if you do feel obligated or you at least want to try and rest the limits of your social anxiety, you can try these few steps. ✨ I’ve found that having simple, frank conversations with hosts about feelings of anxiety can do wonders to either (1) help me cope during the social event or (2) not feel guilty for avoiding an event that I don’t feel like attending. ✨ What do you think of these tips. Do you have any others? ✨ #SheIsFierce #empowerment #OwnYourSpace #TellYourStory #MentalHealth #wellness

As a child many of us may have been told not to make a scene or to do something even though we didn’t want to. Frequent messages like that can have an impact on our instincts. We may end up second-guessing ourselves when we feel like something is wrong or hesitating to speak up when we are uncomfortable. ✨ It may take some practice, but learning to trust your instincts is a really important part of keeping yourself safe. ✨ Are you able to follow your intuition and trust your gut instincts? ✨ Has it ever helped you in the past? ✨ #SheIsFierce #empowerment #OwnYourSpace #TellYourStory #MentalHealth #wellness

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.
