Model Mastery: Your Professional Runway Coaching with Walking in Heels
If you’ve ever watched a model stride down a runway and thought, “How do they make it look so effortless?” the answer isn’t magic. It’s training, technique, and a deep understanding of how to command a space with confidence and presence. And darling, that’s exactly what Model Mastery is designed to give you.
Walking in Heels isn’t just about everyday elegance anymore. We’ve created something special for aspiring models, new talents, and anyone serious about stepping into the professional modelling world: a focused, transformative 90-minute coaching experience that will set you apart from the competition.
Why Professional Walk Coaching Matters
There’s a significant difference between wearing heels beautifully and walking like a professional model. One is about personal confidence. The other is about commanding attention, understanding rhythm, mastering presence, and knowing exactly how to move your body so that every step communicates something intentional.
When you’re preparing for castings, photoshoots, or runway opportunities, those details matter enormously. Casting directors and photographers aren’t just looking at your face or your figure. They’re watching how you move, how you carry yourself, and whether you have the confidence and presence that tells them you’re ready for the professional world.
That’s what separates the almost-there from the absolutely-there.
What Model Mastery Includes
Your 90-minute Model Mastery session is built around five core pillars, each designed to refine a different aspect of your professional presence.
Professional Walk Coaching forms the foundation. We’re not teaching you how to walk in heels for a night out. We’re teaching you how to walk like a model. This means mastering posture that projects confidence, developing a stride with intention and rhythm, perfecting your turns so they’re fluid and commanding, and understanding how to use your body as a tool of expression. Maribel will watch you move, identify exactly what needs refining, and guide you through the techniques that separate amateurs from professionals.
Casting Confidence and Presence Training is where the psychological edge comes in. Walking into a casting room is intimidating. You’re being evaluated. You’re in unfamiliar territory. You might be surrounded by other models who seem more experienced. Model Mastery coaching helps you walk into that room owning it. You’ll learn how to project confidence without arrogance, how to make eye contact that communicates presence, and how to handle the nerves that come with professional auditions. This is the training that helps you stand out in the room before you even start walking.
Pose and Movement Refinement for Photoshoots acknowledges that runway isn’t the only place models need to shine. Photoshoots require a completely different skill set. You need to understand angles, how to position your body so it photographs beautifully, how to move fluidly between poses, and how to bring energy and presence to a stationary position. During your Model Mastery session, you’ll learn how to adapt your movement vocabulary for the camera.
Heel Technique Correction and Balance Control ensures you’re not just walking beautifully, you’re walking safely and sustainably. High heels at professional heights require specific technique. You need balance that doesn’t rely on tension. You need alignment that prevents injury. You need to understand how to move in extreme heel heights without wobbling, without strain, and without sacrificing your presence. This is where Maribel’s expertise genuinely shines. She’ll correct your technique so that your walk is both gorgeous and sustainable.
Tailored Feedback and Next-Step Guidance wraps everything together. This isn’t a generic coaching session. Maribel will assess you individually, identify your unique strengths, pinpoint exactly what needs work, and give you a clear roadmap for moving forward. You’ll understand what you did brilliantly, what needs refinement, and what your next steps are if you want to continue developing your professional skills.
Where Model Mastery Happens
You have flexibility in how you access this coaching.
Studio in Brighton: £250 per person for 90 minutes. This is the full experience in Maribel’s professional studio, where you’ll have space to move, mirrors to see your progress, and a controlled environment to focus entirely on your technique and presence.
On-Location: £295 per person for 90 minutes. If you’re preparing for a specific agency opportunity or you’d prefer to train at your agency’s location, we can arrange on-location coaching. This is particularly valuable if you’re working with an agency directly or preparing for a specific photoshoot or runway show.
Optional Add-Ons for Deeper Development
If 90 minutes of coaching sparks something and you realise you want to go deeper, we have options.
Follow-Up Refinement Session: £150 for 60 minutes. This is perfect if you want to revisit a specific technique, refine something you’ve been working on, or prepare specifically for an upcoming casting or shoot.
Agency Group Masterclasses: Available on request. If you’re working with an agency or if you have a group of aspiring models, we can create customised half-day and full-day packages that include group runway coaching, posing work, and confidence training. These are priced individually based on group size and agency needs.
Who Model Mastery is For
This coaching is designed for serious aspiring models. It’s for new talents preparing for their first professional opportunities. It’s for models building their portfolios and their confidence. It’s for anyone who knows they have what it takes but wants that professional edge to help them stand out.
You don’t need to have modelling experience. You don’t need to be signed with an agency yet. What you need is genuine commitment to stepping into the professional world and a willingness to invest in yourself.
Maribel’s Credentials
Here’s what matters: Maribel trained at the renowned Lucie Clayton Finishing School, where she learned the art of walking with grace, poise, and elegance. She trained with the coach who taught the Duchess of Cambridge. That world-class training, combined with her passion for helping people master their confidence in heels, means you’re learning from someone who genuinely knows what professional elegance looks like.
But beyond the credentials, what makes Maribel different is her commitment to each individual client. She doesn’t deliver generic coaching. Every session is tailored. Every piece of feedback is personalised. Every client walks away knowing exactly what they need to work on and how to do it.
Building Toward Agency Collaborations
Walking in Heels is excited to share something: we’re building collaborations with modelling agencies in Sussex and London, with international expansion planned to Switzerland, France, and Italy. Model Mastery coaching is part of that vision.
These collaborations mean aspiring models have a pathway. You can work with us to refine your skills, build your confidence, and develop the professional presence that agencies notice. You can prepare through Model Mastery coaching and then transition into agency opportunities with genuine confidence that you’re ready.
This isn’t a guarantee of agency representation, but it is a genuine partnership between Walking in Heels and the agencies we’re building relationships with. It’s an opportunity to train professionally and be in conversations with industry decision-makers.
The Investment
At £250 for studio-based coaching or £295 for on-location, Model Mastery is an investment in your professional future. Payment is required upfront to secure your booking, because these sessions are reserved for clients truly ready to commit to their development.
Maribel works with a small number of aligned clients only, so availability is limited. If you’re serious about modelling, if you’re ready to refine your craft, and if you want to walk into auditions and photoshoots with genuine professional confidence, Model Mastery is worth every penny.
Your Next Step
2026 is the year to take yourself seriously. It’s the year to invest in your professional development. It’s the year to stop wondering if you have what it takes and start knowing it.
Model Mastery is waiting. Limited availability. Payment upfront. This is for aspiring models who are genuinely ready to step into their power.
Your catwalk is calling. Let’s make sure you’re ready to own it.
