Heels Without Judgment: Why Your Identity Matters at Walking in Heels
Heels are more than footwear. They’re a statement of identity, a tool for self-expression, and for many, a key that unlocks confidence and authenticity. At Walking in Heels, we believe that everyone deserves to experience the transformative power of heels, regardless of how you identify or where you are in your journey.
This is what sets us apart: we don’t just teach you how to walk in heels. We create a safe, celebratory space where you can show up as your truest self, without judgment, without limits, and with the expert guidance of someone who understands that confidence looks different for everyone.
Heels as a Symbol of Self-Expression
For many people, heels represent far more than fashion. They’re a declaration of identity. They’re the moment you step fully into who you are. Whether you’re exploring your gender identity, expressing yourself through cross-dressing, building confidence as a performer, or simply claiming your right to feel powerful and beautiful, heels can be transformative.
We’ve worked with clients from every walk of life, every gender identity, and every story imaginable. And what we’ve learned is this: the moment someone slips on a pair of heels that feels right, something shifts. The walk changes. The posture lifts. The presence grows. But more importantly, something shifts internally. Suddenly, you’re not just wearing heels. You’re wearing confidence. You’re wearing authenticity. You’re wearing yourself.
A Safe Space for Your Journey
One of the most common things we hear from clients in the cross-dressing and transgender communities is: “I was terrified to walk in heels outside. I was worried about being judged, about looking awkward, about being seen.”
That fear is completely valid. And it’s exactly why Walking in Heels exists.
Maribel created this space because she understands that confidence isn’t just physical. It’s emotional. It’s about feeling seen, supported, and accepted exactly as you are. Every single session at Walking in Heels is private, discreet, and tailored to your unique needs and goals. Whether you’re taking your first steps in heels or refining your stride for a specific occasion, you’re working one-on-one with an expert coach who has been trained at the renowned Lucie Clayton Finishing School, the same place that taught the Duchess of Cambridge.
That level of expertise combined with genuine warmth and inclusivity is rare. We’re here to prove that it doesn’t have to be.
For Cross-Dressers: Expressing Your Truth
If you’re cross-dressing and exploring heels as part of your self-expression, you deserve expert, judgment-free guidance. Walking in Heels offers exactly that.
Our approach is simple: we meet you exactly where you are. Whether you’re exploring heels privately and want to build confidence for public wear, or you’re already out in the world and want to refine your technique, we support your journey. We understand that heels can be a crucial part of how you express yourself, and we’re here to help you walk that path with grace, confidence, and authenticity.
The Private Assessment & Foundations Session (£195 | 90 minutes) is perfect if you’re just beginning. You’ll work one-on-one with Maribel to understand your posture, balance, technique, and what comes next. Or, if you’re ready for deeper work, the VIP Private Coaching Session (£400 | 2 hours) offers focused, personalised guidance tailored entirely to your goals and pace.
For those ready to commit to lasting transformation, the VIP Transformation Package (£1,350-£1,600) includes 4 to 6 private coaching sessions, full studio hire, and priority booking. Everything is arranged for you, so all you need to do is show up and shine.
For Transgender Individuals: Walking Into Authenticity
Heels can be a powerful symbol of stepping into your authentic self. For many transgender clients, choosing the right heels and mastering how to walk in them marks a turning point. It’s the moment you stop hiding and start living.
At Walking in Heels, we celebrate that journey. We understand that confidence in heels isn’t just about technique, though that matters. It’s about feeling safe, seen, and supported as you express your true identity to the world.
Maribel’s coaching is deeply personalised. She listens. She understands. And she creates a space where you can explore, experiment, and build the confidence that comes from aligning your outer self with your inner truth.
Every session is private and discreet. Every piece of guidance is tailored to you. And every step you take is celebrated, because walking in heels as your authentic self is an act of courage.
What Makes Walking in Heels Different
You might wonder what sets us apart from other coaching services. Here’s what: we don’t see heels as a trend or a fashion statement. We see them as a tool for empowerment, self-expression, and authenticity. And we see you, exactly as you are, as worthy of expert guidance, support, and celebration.
Our founder, Maribel Coles, trained at Lucie Clayton Finishing School, the world’s most respected finishing school. She studied under the coach who taught the Duchess of Cambridge. That expertise means you’re learning from someone with genuine, world-class credentials. But it’s not cold or corporate. It’s warm, supportive, playful, and deeply human.
We work with a small number of aligned clients only. This isn’t about exclusivity for exclusivity’s sake. It’s about ensuring that every client receives the attention, expertise, and care they deserve. Payment is required upfront, and availability is limited, because we believe in working with people who are truly ready to invest in themselves and their transformation.
The Moment Everything Changes
One of our favourite things to witness is the moment a client realises they can do this. Maybe it’s the first time they walk from one side of the studio to the other without thinking about their feet. Maybe it’s the moment they catch their reflection and see someone standing taller, walking with presence, radiating confidence. Maybe it’s the first time they wear heels outside and realise they’re not worried about being seen, they’re proud to be seen.
That moment is why we do this work. And it’s available to you.
