Hi, I'm Lindsey and I run the Serenity Self Defense website. I am a wife, mother, and child of God. I am currently finishing up my undergraduate career and will earn a B.S. in Criminal Justice. Currently, I am studying for the October LSAT and aspire to go to law school in August 2013. I have a seriously low tolerance for injustice and my goal is to be a voice for the voiceless.
In 2009, I learned of the murder of a young girl from Texas. Her name is
Melanie Goodwin and her story completely changed my life. I was
inspired to start a self-defense organization with the hopes of
educating and training women in the Charleston area at no charge.
However, being a full-time student while working 40 hours a week did not
allow this to happen. I was contacted by many members in the community
who were interested in helping Serenity come to life, but the timing
just was not right. Here we are nearly three years later and I feel like
the time is now. My schedule has adjusted vastly and I feel that
I will be able to devote time and energy to this project, but this time
the goal is different.
Instead of hosting training sessions, this website with exist to point people in the right direction.
Charleston has numerous self-defense organizations and I will be
listing upcoming events on this site. I will post weekly, and I hope
that this website will be a place of encouragement and hope.
Weekly posts
Safety tips and basic self-defense techniques
Encouraging stories of victims who fought off their attackers

My long term goal is to become a certified self-defense instructor, and host fundraising events throughout the year to raise money for the Melanie Goodwin Scholarship Fund. After all, the Lord used her to direct me to this path.
