La Cher is a fitness coach with a difference - she doesn't just want to get women physically fit, she wants to work on their mental health as well.
After experiencing what she describes as "unhealthy relationships" she was determined to break the cycle.
And now she is bringing her message to the UK.
La Cher is launching self defence classes this weekend.
But instead of just tackling how women can protect themselves against physical assaults, she also wants them to know how to deal with verbal attacks.
La Cher explained: "The chance of a physical attack is small but the chance of a verbal attack is much higher so that's why I wanted to be able to show women how they protect yourself against this.
"I had an unhealthy relationship and felt unlovedand I don't want anyone to go through what I went through."
The course has been organised to tie in with sexual health awareness month and will take place in Market House, Brixton, between 1pm and 4pm on Sunday.
