Your body speaks
before you do
Make it count
My name is Angellisa, a certified body language coach and training actress.
With a background in the public sector as a case manager and quality advisor, in sales (pharma), and the creative industry, I understand what truly influences communication: our non-verbal cues, especially the ones we’re not aware of.
These signals are sent in split seconds by the limbic brain and the limbic brain doesn’t lie. That’s why I support professionals in presenting themselves as they intend: making sure their verbal message matches how they come across non-verbally. They also learn to better recognize the cues of others, so valuable signals are less likely to be missed or misinterpreted.
From experience, I’ve seen how learned behaviors, like putting on a smile, can hide what’s really going on. My own body language was sometimes misinterpreted, which led me to question the intentions of others. That’s why everything starts with understanding which non-verbal signals you unconsciously send and what others are truly responding to.
Everyone has a unique body language code, shaped by personality, culture and experience.
It’s visible before you speak. Micro-expressions, however, are universal. They’re picked up instantly and often unconsciously. That’s why they’re sometimes overlooked or ignored and why people can be misread. Simply because we tend to trust words more than signals.

Together, we make it count.
Ready to discover what your body language is really saying ?

This will be your results:
Micro-expressions, body language and tone of voice often reveal more than words. Sometimes, it’s not the message you intend to convey or the signals get lost entirely. After a session you’ll use your non-verbal communication more effectively. Whether you’re presenting, leading a team or having challenging conversations: your body language always speaks.
You can’t do without it.
A session will help you:
- recognize your conscious and unconscious signals,
- understand what your body language truly reveals,
- know how others may interpret your signals,
- communicate with intention and better result,
- prevent or resolve misunderstandings and unnecessary friction,
- deliver your message clearly and credibly,
- and get to the core faster.
As a training actress, I serve as a mirror, methodically reflecting how you express yourself verbally. As a body language coach, I interpret and respond to your non-verbal communication.
Combined, this approach completes the picture and gives you sharp insight into how you come across and how your verbal and non-verbal signals work together… or don’t.
You’ll start to see these patterns not only in professional settings, but also in personal interactions. Driven by the limbic brain, your body often responds before you’ve said a word. The better you recognize your own signals, the better you’ll recognize those of others. That’s when communication becomes more effective.
“When there is inconsistency between words and body language, the non-verbal message is believed.”
-Albert Mehrabian---
Professor of Psychology.University of California, Los Angeles
Clear & Congruent
The goal is not to analyze behavior, but to recognize what you’re communicating without even realizing it. By gaining insight into the signals you send, you build a stronger foundation and create more transparency for yourself and those around you.
It starts with understanding how your body language and micro-expressions reflect limbic brain responses and how they trigger verbal and non-verbal reactions in others.
“Micro-expressions are facial expressions that occur within a fraction of a second.
This involuntary emotional leakage exposes a person’s true feelings.”

Example:
How your words say one thing
Your body and voice say another
You try to get your message across, but the effect is different from what you intended. Your conversation partner is quite direct and comes across as somewhat dominant. You try to remain friendly, but what you mean as friendly seems distant or irritated so your conversation partner gets upset.
With a now closed posture, but not in the most obvious way, and a smile meant to soften the conversation the tension only increases. You no longer come across as credible, because this mismatch is immediately noticed, whether consciously or unconsciously.
Imagine being able to see exactly:
- what happens in that moment during communication,
- what type of person is in front of you and what triggers you,
- what your unconsciously project and how that is interpreted,
- and how you can use your body language and way of speaking to support your message, instead of undermining it.
That’s when communication becomes clear, congruent, and authentic.
In short
"It is easy to speak what you know, but understanding what your face express is much more difficult"
-Paul Ekman-
Professor of Psychology (UCSF)
As a founding figure in the study of micro-expressions, Paul Ekman showed that they are universal and picked up instantly often without conscious awareness.
