Who we are

Hi, I’m Amy Rainford, Founder of Be Your Own Advocate and a passionate believer that every woman deserves to feel confident, capable and safe.

I have a Black Belt in Taekwondo and a current Krav Maga practitioner. But this work goes beyond physical skills—its about helping women trust their instincts, speak up, set boundaries, and walk into any room with confidence.

Be Your Own Advocate was created to bring simple, practical tools from women through engaging, supportive seminars. Whether it’s in the workplace, in a rideshare, or walking to your car at night—you deserve to feel in control. I’m here to help make that possible.
