Dr. Lauren Pearah is a Doctor of Natural Medicine, a certified practitioner in multiple holistic disciplines, and a Red Senior–ranked Taekwondo practitioner with over a decade of experience studying human behavior, awareness, and personal protection.
She is also a mother of four—two girls and two boys, ages 16, 14, 11, and 7.
This matters. Because every protocol she teaches is something she wants her own children to know as they step into independence. Parents feel that immediately.
Her work blends science, instinct, and practical defense, making safety training accessible to all teens—regardless of size, strength, background, or athletic ability.
As a domestic violence and sexual assault survivor, Dr. Pearah understands firsthand how quickly situations can turn—and how vital confidence, awareness, and simple protocols truly are.
Her experiences didn’t break her.
They built her.
They drove her to train, to earn her doctorate, to study trauma-informed methods, and to create a program that helps young people navigate the world with clarity and confidence.
While her story is not the focus of this program, it is the reason she is uniquely equipped to teach it with compassion, strength, and insight.
Dr. Pearah’s background includes:
Her approach is scientifically grounded, emotionally intelligent, and built for real-world application.
