The National Action Organization

The National Action Organization (NAO) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation committed to changing the way our culture values women. We are a national network of men and women who believe all women possess innate gifts and talents. We partner with women who want to develop a stronger foundation to sustain their lives through this rich, ambitious creativity.

At NAO we envision a world where women embrace self-care as a common practice. We foresee a society that celebrates economic and social homeostasis for women, supporting their personal, spiritual and professional aspirations. We promote a public consciousness of women's inherent gifts, and empower women to reach beyond what they believe they are capable of, to craft the best life possible.

Today's women juggle multiple roles as spouses, wage earners, heads of household and caregivers for children and/or aging parents. In these efforts many women are depleting themselves emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Women believe that they must disregard their own well-being in order to care for those around them.

We believe that conscious partnering with women is a way to end this epidemic depletion. All of us are being called to live our lives in social, political, environmental and spiritual balance. The National Action Organization recognizes the role we all played in creating the present imbalance and together we are doing something about it! How about you?

There are three kinds of people in the world: Those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who say, "What happened?"

The people who make things happen see themselves as co-creators with the divine, with consciousness, the one power behind everything.

We are not catering to the underprivileged because we see everyone as having value and worth! We are a for-purpose nonprofit that is helping our culture heal and establish balance, by recognizing women’s value and helping illuminate this untapped resource.

Our goal is to help women break through and release their self-limitations regarding their own value and worth, so they are clearer channels and can access abundance.

As a response to violence against women, we are sponsoring FREE emotional and physical self-defense classes based on Maryanne's Emotional Black Belt™ techniques, supported by physical practice with Karate black belt experts. See the Initiatives page here.
