“2016 was my first year competing and I knew I needed to get my posing down if I wanted to do well. My husband had heard of Tawna and recommended I check her out. I went for a consultation at Destination Dallas. The consultation exceeded my expectations and I immediately signed up for the 10 personal classes package. I had been working out for years before I decided to compete. But I had NEVER done any type of competitions so Tawna had her work cut out for her! Tawna customized a beautiful routine specifically for me and my body.
She was patient and kind as she taught me at my pace. I never felt rushed or that I wasn’t learning quickly enough. She was able to read my mood the second I walked into practice and adjust our practices so I would get the most benefit out of each. She is extremely observant, intuitive and talented. I left the 10 weeks of coaching with her with a beautiful routine and a sense of pride and confidence I did NOT have before.
I can honestly say that the confidence, presentation and poise I learned from Tawna not only helped me perform well on stage but also stepped up my game in my work and personal life. Looking back at everything I learned and gained over those 10 weeks I would be happy to pay double!”
“I love posing with Tawna because she is very direct and blunt. She doesn’t sugar coat stuff, she tells you like it is but she gives good constructive criticism and she in my opinion is one of the best performers and one of the best posers I’ve ever watched on stage. She knows her stuff for sure and her personality is so fun and outgoing she’s super funny and sweet. She gives direct specific comments that help you understand what you’re doing and help you make a change. She videos you and plays them back so you can actually see what you’re doing.
She is very interactive as an instructor and moves around and doesn’t just stand there and bark orders at you. I love that she preaches the importance of poise and stage presence just as much as having a good physique. Every time I’ve competed it’s never failed that I get at least one compliment about how confident and how well I present on stage and that’s all thanks to Tawna!”
“In March of this year I decided to compete in my first Bikini competition. The Kuclo Classic was just two short months away at the time. I met Tawna through my trainer just weeks before my show. I knew nothing about fitness competitions let alone anything to do with a posing routine. I was beyond thankful for Tawna taking me on under such short notice.
She was exceptionally helpful in getting as many sessions scheduled as possible before the show. I’m tall, awkward and certainly no professional when it comes to walking in heels but in just seven sessions Tawna made magic happen! Without her help there would have been no possible way I would have been ready to present a routine on stage. She was there at the show to give a couple last minute pointers and I was able to walk on stage and win the Novice Bikini.
She is a huge inspiration as well as a phenomenal coach and I’ve been blessed to get to know her!”
“As a first time competitor, I found Tawna and I was in awe of her style and confidence that she had when posing on stage. I soon began taking posing sessions from her via FaceTime and even flew out to Dallas to pose in person. It was the best investment I made when prepping for my first show. Because of her help and keen eye for posing, I was able to walk away from my first show with a second place in Open Class and won the overall Novice title. I believe that my posing gave me the edge against the other girls on stage. Thank you so much Tawna!”
“I came into this sport with guidance from my coach to learn posing via YouTube. The frustrations were building, posing is HARD, probably the most difficult part of prep. So I searched the DFW area for a posing coach. I heard about Destination Dallas and Tawna being a phenomenal posing coach. I reached out and was SO glad I did.
Tawna is one of the most caring, down to earth professionals in the sport I have met. She is extremely knowledgeable in her expertise. I went into meet her and was so nervous, but her demeanor and energy was relaxing. She works with each athlete to find what works for them. Their body, they angles, their poses. Each is individual and perfected. We went through multiple angles and poses until I found what worked for me on stage to deliver with confidence. Not only what made my body look the best, but what made me feel least likely to wobble, sway and step awkwardly.
I left each session feeling more and more confident in what I was able to accomplish. She is not only a talented posing coach but her soul and character is unmatched. She believes in each and every one of her clients full heartedly and is certain we know that. I would go back to her over and over, even having moved out of state, I will look to video posing sessions with her for next prep.”
