have you watched posing tutorials and wondered how to make the poses look good on you?
Hi *Waving* Michele here!

If you're like most people trying to learn how to pose (and hoping the poses look good on you), you've searched for random posing tutorials online...

You've gone to generic in-person posing workshops...

And mayyybe, you've stalked instagram photos and videos of your favorite IFBB pros and tried to mimic what you see them doing...

There's just one problem with doing all of those things.
Watching a seasoned athlete pose effortlessly and then trying to do the poses yourself are two different things, amIright?
The #1 Starting Place To Learn To Pose
Posing is a skill and deserves a system that includes a go-to starting place. The purpose of my virtual posing clinics is to be the starting place for you to build a proper posing foundation so you are not left guessing what you are supposed to be doing..and why. 

I break the sequence down on how to properly execute a pose from start to finish for every one of my competitors from the very beginning so that within no time their poses become like second nature to them.

You will learn the exact step by step sequence on how to properly execute each pose for your category at my posing clinic.

When I first started competing as a bodybuilder 20+ years ago...
There was no such thing as posing tutorials, workshops, or posing coaches
Annnnnd, as a bodybuilder, you are required to execute A LOT of different poses.  You are also required to perform a posing routine that is choreographed to music.  In this routine you display your best features and show off your personality to the audience and judges.  

I remember being more stressed out about the posing routine to music than I was with the nutrition and exercise part of competition prep.  

Because of this, I spent every day dissecting each and every pose and working on mastering the execution of every one of them.  My hard work paid off and I would consistently win best poser awards at all of my shows.

Then in 2004 I switched to the figure division and l remember thinking there are much less poses than in bodybuilding, but now I was stressing about having to do them balancing in heels, and also having to do a fancy walk on stage smiling like I'm having the time of my life.  My demeanor is much more serious so this was a challenge for me to break out from at first.

So once again I dissected every component of posing and presentation and worked on mastering the poses, mastering how to walk and pose in high heels, and choreographing every component of my stage presence.  My hard work paid off again and, over the years, I earned three pro cards in three different federations and multiple (three) best poser awards.

Then about a decade into my career, I bought a fitness facility and started hosting group posing classes. This was still ten years ago from today so there wasn't the workshops, posing coaches, or online tutorials at this time either. 

People kept coming back to learn how to pose for different federations, and some would come back consistently to continue making improvements from show to show. I had people travel four hours one way to come master their posing and presentation skills. Especially when they were preparing for their first show and had never stepped on stage before in their life.

Throughout the years, I have taught thousands of competitors how to pose.

I helped competitors who struggled with knowing how to make the poses look flattering on them go from awkward to total domination on stage.

I helped competitors learn how to properly open their lats in their poses (clients dubbed me "the lat whisperer!")

I helped competitors go from walking like a linebacker in heels to strutting the stage with confidence. 

I helped competitors who are naturally shy or super serious go from forgettable or "meh" to absolute stand outs on stage.

And I helped competitors who were consistently placing 4th and 5th at their shows bump up their placements to 1st and 2nd place...just with posing adjustments. 

My unique background having:

Taught literally thousands of students how to pose...

competed in 6 federations, and mastered the posing skills in all of them...

having judged for 4 federations as well...

having a background in modeling, acting, and runway school...

13 years of full time teaching posing and stage performance to men and women in over 10 federations...

...means that I have developed a unique set of skills that you won't find anywhere else.

I look at each and every one of my clients with extreme detail.  I know exactly what areas of their body they needed to accentuate. I also knew the areas they need to draw less attention to as well.  Most are shocked at how I literally see everything virtually too. Plus, I get you. I understood the psychology of what you are feeling, so I know how to draw your out of your shell like I had to do for myself.

Over my 24+ years of experience in the bodybuilding industry, I have developed my own teaching language, teaching methods, my own original skills and tactics that allow me to help you to become not just good at posing, but great at it. 

My posing clinics are your starting place to looking and feeling like a champion on stage.

I look forward to seeing you there :) 

Don't just take my word for it...

" I received my WNBF Pro Card in figure after working with Michele. She helped me fine tune my posing and presentation style, which made all the difference in the world on stage. If you are looking to take your training to the next level, I highly recommend Michele!
BRET CATENO
PHYSIQUE
“Michele’s knowledge and instruction flows very naturally. I was frequently impressed by her level of detail and the ease in which she manipulated my position to bring out my best look. I’ve worked with great coaches and Michele is exceptional. Any federation... any division, she will guide you to the proper fit and help you to look your best. Do yourself a favor if you’re considering a show and reach out to her asap.”
TARA CHAPELL
BIKINI AND FIGURE
" Michele Welcome is an incredibly talented posing coach, and working with her was a complete game-changer for me. She is truly a professional and an expert in her field. I would highly recommend using Michele as a posing coach to anyone preparing for a show! "
AMY COURNOYER
BIKINI AND FIGURE
" Self doubt and fear of failure have been my demons for years. My work with Michele helped me step out of this mindset and into a place where I learned to compete for me. Michele has shown me how to focus on producing the best version of myself and how to hit the stage leading with pride. " 
LAURENT VITRAC
CLASSIC PHYSIQUE
" Michele really teaches you about how posing should be done. It's not just get on stage and flex, it's about confidence, stage presence and finding the angles and movements to really highlight that physique! No one shows you how and teaches you how better. Michele came highly recommended to me and she comes highly recommended from me so much I send my own clients to her for posing. "
AMY POLLARD
PRO BODYBUILDER, PHYSIQUE, AND FIGURE
" Beyond her phenomenal expert knowledge, she was sincerely invested in my success. Her excellent advice, warm smile and encouraging words, along with a hug out the door was what I looked forward to every week to keep me on my focused path. She made sure I never stopped believing in myself, because she believed in me. "
ALICIA C.
BIKINI COMPETITOR
" By nature, I am an extremely shy person and do not like to be the center of attention. Michele helped me gain the confidence I needed to get on stage. Michele helped me pose in ways that best suited my physique. She is extremely supportive and will help guide you every step of the way. There is no one I’d rather work with to prepare for stage ready posing. " 
COURTNEY M.
BIKINI & MODEL
" The minute I started working with Michele I knew that her patience and attention to detail were just what I needed to learn a new set of poses and to feel confident in my routine! Michele also gave me phenomenal workouts to help build my back and to build coordination and muscle memory for flaring my lats. I am certain that the work I did with Michele translated to more confidence on the stage and as a competitor. "
JEN E.
MASTERS BIKINI
" At the age of 41, I decided that I wanted to compete in bikini.  This was so far out of my comfort zone, I barely knew where to start. I had never done anything even remotely close to this. Michele taught me how to pose with class and grace, she taught me how to show off my best self, she choreographed a theme wear routine for me, AND she taught me how to flare my lats!!  (We dubbed her "The Lat Whisperer"). I never could have done it without Michele! "
