The background story

Hi guys, my name is Charmaine and I am the founder of Soul2Sole Heels. Many people have asked what inspired me to start Soul2Sole Heels, and to be honest I never really know what to say. So I thought perhaps I should really look at my journey and how Soul2Sole Heels was born.

A little bit about me.....

Since I was a little girl I've always loved to dance. Coming from a very musical family it was clear that I would be a fan of the arts in some shape or form. My sisters and I would perform shows for our parents and enter talent shows dancing with our own choreography. As i grew so did my love for dance and I continued attending different dance classes to improve my dance skills and musicality. My sister Charlene set up her dance company and I assisted with being a choreographer for a few of her classes. Growing into my adult hood and landing a role within the Estate Agency industry, physical presentation was very important and here is where I fell in love with heels. Being only 5ft tall I always wanted to stand tall and heels gave me that power to see the world from most peoples point of view lol.

It made me feel womanly, sexy and powerful and I couldn't get enough. I would often get comments about how gracefully and easily I could walk in high heels, and when I entered a room everyone would notice me. I began to wonder how many other women wanted that same feeling but wasn't sure how to obtain it?

Dance was always a way for me to escape, feel free and content within myself and so it made total sense to blend my two loves, dance and heels. Who would have known that dancing in heels and falling in love with my whole being would be so exhilarating and Soul2Sole Heels was born?

The first class began November 2018, I was both nervous and excited as I was unsure who would attend and continue to attend. I knew that I wanted the classes to be more than just simply learning choreography in heels, I really wanted to get to know the ladies who attended and understand their journeys and what they were seeking. It materialised very quickly that there were and still are so many women who, for their own reasons feel they have lost their womanly, sexy power. Slowly but surely the classes allowed the ladies to take down their external walls and begin to reconnect with themselves and fall in love with their inner being.

Soul2Sole Heels has created a safe space for women to feel united, supported, liberated and unapologetically themselves. A space where they can connect with other women, no judgement, just honest, committed love and encouragement.
