What people say after the room empties.

I hired Carmen to provide two hours of DPOR-certified CE safety training to my agents at Williamsburg Realty. It was outstanding! Carmen is knowledgeable, experienced, organized, personable, and real estate agent-focused. I highly recommend this class.

Every now and then, you come across a person, product, or service you feel compelled to recommend—and this is absolutely one of those moments. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Carmen for several years, and during that time I’ve watched her repeatedly demonstrate a rare talent: she connects with people in a way that builds real accountability and drives meaningful change.

Carmen is a committed entrepreneur who has earned her place through passion, purpose, and a genuine desire to create solutions that meet people where they are. The foundation of the Momba Network is beyond impressive—and the best part is, it continues to evolve in all the right ways.

I’ve heard the feedback from current users firsthand, and it’s clear that this is not just another online subscription. It’s refreshing, intentional, and rooted in effective human interaction with a positive mission behind it.

Go Momba—this is only the beginning.

I really enjoyed this course! It provided practical safety tips and real world strategies. Carmen was knowledgeable, engaging, and did an excellent job bringing the material to life through real-life examples and practical advice, making the course informative and enjoyable.

Awesomeeee Woman of power and strength. Carmen was absolutely phenomenal during our Women’s Situational Awareness & Safety Training at SYWO Security Academy.

She delivered self-defense techniques in a way that was clear, practical, and empowering. Her confidence and passion made every woman in the room feel more capable and prepared.

We are truly grateful for her impact and look forward to working with her again. Thank you, Carmen & Momba, for helping us empower and protect our community! It’s an honor to know you.

Training with Carmen has been an incredible experience. She brings the perfect mix of technical skill, motivation, and real-world practicality to every session. Her background in boxing and self-defense shows — she breaks down techniques clearly, pushes you to improve, and makes every workout both challenging and empowering.

What really stands out is how she creates a welcoming and supportive environment, especially for beginners who might feel intimidated stepping into combat sports. I have gained not just strength and endurance, but genuine confidence. If you’re looking for a skilled, encouraging, and professional instructor, Carmen is the real deal!

They say it’s not about how you fall, but how you get up. But when life really hits, those sayings don’t help much. That’s where Carmen comes in.

I met her over fifteen years ago when she trained one of my sons in taekwondo, the other in Combat Hapkido, and I was immediately struck by her rare mix of calm authority and deep compassion. Later, in her women’s self-defense class, I saw it again — she pushes you to grow but never lets you feel alone.

Since then, I’ve watched her live what she teaches: grace under pressure, resilience through loss, strength through discipline. She’s walked through real storms and somehow turned each one into purpose.

When I went through my own hard season, she didn’t offer clichés — she offered presence, belief, and tools to rebuild. That’s her gift: she sees your strength long before you do.

Carmen doesn’t just teach resilience — she embodies it. Working with her isn’t about “being strong.” It’s about remembering that you already are.

Carmen led a self-defense class at my all-women’s gym, Empower, and it was so informative and equipping! Our members were very grateful to have gained such valuable information.

When life knocks you flat, Carmen’s the one who helps you find your footing again. I first met her over 20 years ago, and what’s always stood out is her strength. She doesn’t just talk about it — she lives it.

Her strength is contagious and I always leave her space motivated and uplifted.

Carmen led a women’s self defense class for our non-profit and her level of expertise and ability to connect with her students is incredible!

She’s an excellent teacher, coach, and encourager, offering ways to improve while remaining patient. She is great at seeing what I am doing wrong and how to correct. She takes my reasons for coming seriously. I can’t begin to say how much that means to me. […] I highly recommend Carmen.

I am still riding the feeling of being excited about learning! I’m really pumped and passionate about continuing. I want to be able to protect myself and my family and I’m one step closer to attaining that. Thank you for being a passionate role model.
