POSTURE SPEAKS
Learn to Convey Natural Confidence at Work and In Life.
Coaching for Women for the Mind, Body, and Voice
with Lindsay Newitter
Posture, Movement, and Mindset Coach - Alexander Technique Instructor
Do you notice that even though you’re a knowledgeable expert with a powerful message…
You feel uncertain and don’t project authority when it counts most?
Learn how to be seen and heard as the dynamic expert you are.
-
If you can't always reason your way out of Impostor Syndrome.
Affirmations and positive self-talk don’t always make people FEEL more confident. Your mindset lives in your body and can be changed in a way that’s truly felt by taking charge of the physical habits that accompany the thoughts.
-
If you get tense and out of breath when you speak.
Learning to take charge of your posture and voice with my no-shame approach will help you feel less stressed, more confident, and able to get your message across with a calm authority that is heard.
-
If you feel that you're being overlooked, interrupted, or that you easily fade into the background in group situations.
When you embody your message physically and vocally, you’ll connect with others and you’ll be seen and heard without feeling forced.
Does this sound like you?
Perhaps you've been told to “just think positive”, “relax”, “stand up straight”, “pull your shoulders back,” "speak with authority," or “lower the pitch of your voice,” but it doesn’t come naturally.
…and when you try, it feels inauthentic and uncomfortable…and you still feel insecure…
I’ve been there and know the frustration of feeling insecure or tensing up just when I’m trying to put my best foot forward… until I discovered a different approach that made all the difference.
I’ll show you a new way to stand taller, speak stronger, and own your expertise. You’ll embody an inner confidence so that you’ll genuinely FEEL more calm, composed, and authentic.
As a posture and movement specialist, certified in the Alexander Technique, as well as a trained actor, I’m an expert in the physiology of communication. Based on my 17 years experience helping women with their posture, breathing, and speaking, I’ll show you how to:
✧ EMBODY natural posture, breathing, and voice
✧ FEEL more composed, confident, and authentic
✧ BE the dynamic expert you are!
Forget “fake it till you make it”. Convey your message by taking charge of who walks into the room and delivers it — YOU!
What People Are Saying
How I Work
I’ll help you get to the source of the thinking, movement, and postural patterns that are getting in the way of you being your most authentic self. You’ll feel and convey confidence and be aligned to truly embody your message. The process is empowering, practical, and easy to practice on your own.
Sessions happen in person, online or a combination of both.
Lower stress and boost your energy and confidence.
You’ll learn to make subtle, effective, and powerful adjustments to help you stand taller with less effort, feel grounded and calm, breathe effortlessly, and communicate your message with confidence.
You’ll start taking up your space and commanding the room (or the Zoom!) in a way that is relaxing and not rigid and gives you more energy and confidence. You’ll get out of your head more in your body. This will help you to be more present both in yourself and with others.
You will not be judged or made to feel uncomfortable in this process.
Communicate with better posture and relaxed breathing.
It’s easy to get all in your head when you have to think on your feet and it can feel like your body has a mind of its own.
You’ll learn how to connect your thoughts and mindset with your posture, movement, and breathing.
As a result, you’ll be more grounded, breathe calmly, and communicate with authority — without feeling forced or like you have to be someone else.

FAQs

Clients have often told me that they have learned strategies to enhance effective communication, but even though they know these things in their minds, there may be moments in which they are hard to apply in the real world. When we let a situation overtake our ability to strategize (whether it’s when we’re giving a talk or in a group or 1:1 conversation), there are physical habits at play.
For example, you might feel like you’re running out of breath, you’re talking fast, but you don’t really know what you’re saying, and your voice gets high. You may also have a sense of being fidgety, ungrounded, or like your shoulders go up to your ears.
Changing your mindset or having a mental strategy may not be enough to change the habits that seem to take over like they have a mind of their own.
I’ll identify and help you unpack the specific habits that are getting in the way of you feeling calm, composed, and in control of your body, breathing, and voice in the moment when it’s happening. Then you’ll be able to be more mindful in your own body and to feel like you can command your own presence and composure at will.

You may have gone for therapeutic treatments of various sorts that felt great or learned exercises to strengthen weak muscles, but what you may not have learned is how to deal with the unconscious habits that you carry with you throughout the day that have lead you to seek these treatments out.
The process I teach is based on the Alexander Technique, a proven method for dealing with strain and “over-use” in daily activities. It feels good and can be quite therapeutic and is primarily an educational method that helps you change your unconscious postural habits in daily activities (like working at the computer, speaking, walking, or carrying a bag). You’ll work on both. your general posture and postural issues that crop of in specific contexts. The approach is nuanced, simple, and holistic and you’ll gain the tools to make subtle and effective corrections in the moment whenever you need to. It’s not just exercises.
The icing on the cake is that as your body awareness improves through these sessions, you’ll have more of a chance of retaining the benefits you get from therapeutic techniques and strengthening exercises. You’ll also have more knowledge of your body to do exercises (at the gym, for example) so that you do them correctly, rather than reinforce bad habits.

Classes are fun and relaxing and it’s a calm and supportive environment where you will not be judged.
The basis of all of the work I do is improving body awareness, to help you feel more comfortable, composed, and centered in your own body and like you are able to convey an authentic authority that is more fundamentally YOU.
We work on this first and from there, you are only asked to challenge yourself in ways that feel either comfortable or tolerably outside of your comfort zone.
No one will have to give a speech (unless it’s something that they request to practice in class). What I do ask participants to do is to think of the types contexts that involve interacting with others that you would like help with. I have designed fun and enlightening exercises to work on these topics that are not stressful. You can use what you learn to apply to many situations in your life and work.
