Why Choose One-to-One Heel Tuition?
Let’s be honest: the world of heels can be intimidating, whether you’re just starting or aiming to perfect your red-carpet walk. Group settings are inspiring and joyful, but there’s something special about the tailored change that happens one-to-one. Every WIH session with Maribel is bespoke: designed for your specific footwear, skill level, body, event, and ambitions. In a world that sets narrow standards for who ‘belongs’ in heels, our private coaching cracks open the door to genuine, judgment-free self-expression.
Clients seek VIP tuition for myriad reasons: learning to walk for prom, nailing a wedding day aisle moment, finding their stage presence, or simply stepping out in public as their true self for the first time. Each story is unique, but the outcome is universal – empowerment, skill, and the utter joy of feeling unstoppable.

The Warm Welcome: Your Journey Starts Here
Walk into your first session and expect warmth, empathy, and expert guidance from the outset. Maribel greets every client as you are, just as you are – no assumptions, no expectations, just heartfelt curiosity about your hopes, style, and story. After a welcoming chat, you’ll share your goals (from “I just want to stand without wobbling” to “teach me to turn like a diva”), your experiences with heels (if any), and any concerns or dreams you carry into the studio.
The environment – whether in our Brighton & Hove base, a private online session, or a venue of your choice—is inclusive, confidential, and curated for comfort. You’re encouraged to bring your own shoes, outfits, and questions. There’s space for nerves, laughter, and, always, a dash of cheeky encouragement.

The Expert Approach: Assessment and Setup
Every VIP session begins by understanding your baseline. Maribel gently assesses your natural standing posture, balance, and walk – never with criticism, only with the eye of a supportive coach eager to spot your strengths and opportunities for growth.
With this foundation, you’ll discuss the shoes you’ve brought (or try on some studio pairs), analysing fit, height, arch support, and comfort. The WIH method ensures that your starting point is always safe – never in a heel so high or a shoe so unstable that you can’t focus on learning.

The Lesson Structure: From Foundations to Flourish
- 1. **Posture and Confidence Foundations**
Whether you’re a beginner or an old pro, every session starts with posture. Think: shoulders back, chin up, hips forward – a Lucie Clayton staple! Small posture tweaks not only prevent injury but instantly boost your presence. Breathing exercises and gentle stretches ease anxiety and prime muscles. - **Foundational Walking Technique**
You’ll learn heel-to-toe movement, weight placement, pace, and the all-important ‘pause’ that makes every walk look deliberate and serene. Maribel demonstrates, then supports as you try – correcting gently and celebrating every improvement. No question is too small, and every step is progress. - **Tailored Advances**
Depending on your goals, sessions can cover:
- – Navigating stairs, corners, and obstacles
- Elegant turns and dramatic spins
- Sitting and standing with style
- Walking in specific outfits (bridal gowns, suits, costumes)
- Building stage presence or photographic poise
In VIP tuition, teaching goes at your pace. Progress can happen quickly, and there’s never any pressure to ‘perform’ – only to enjoy the process and trust yourself a little more each time.
- 4. **Real-Life Scenarios**
Practise is tailored to your world. Rehearse event entrances, boardroom walks, or even everyday outings. Maribel role-plays scenarios to give you confidence for whatever moment lies ahead.

Your Transformation: More Than Just Technique
Clients report not just better walks, but deeper confidence that radiates through every aspect of life. Some tell of conquering wedding nerves; others, of reclaiming identity after years of hiding. For many, it’s the joy of finally loving how they look and feel in a mirror, seeing strength and style reflected back at them.
Maribel supports all journeys – with expertise, patience, and true celebration of individuality.
- – **For cross-dressers and transgender clients:** Extra support for navigating the emotional landscape, practical style and fit advice, and confidence in public settings.
- **For performers:** Focus on drama, expression, and skill for the stage.
- **For nervous beginners:** Reassurance, encouragement, and a foundation to build on in future sessions or group classes.
All gender identities, sizes, backgrounds, and skill levels are welcomed, honoured, and uplifted.
