Body Story Method

"I feel more in tune to client’s bodies now, before learning the Body Story Method - I planned sessions based on my client’s posture and on what clients told me they were feeling.

What I’ve learned is that most people are unaware of how their body is operating and traditional assessments can leave things unnoticed, hindering their progress.

As I’ve learned the Body Story Method I can understand so much more of what’s happening in my clients body just by looking at them.

I’m now able to give clients what they didn’t know they needed and my confidence has improved when teaching clients”

I like how it was many different modalities simplified into one method and that the body can be more honest than our ability to express our emotions by speaking.

Using BSM allows for greater connections with clients and stronger offerings in my business.

BSM is a technique allowing me to read what the body is speaking to that the words might not be.

Yoga Teacher and Business Owner

“As a client of The Body Story Method with Claudia, I have been supported through emotional upheaval and life challenges, managed and recovered from old recurring injuries without letting them take hold or set me back, while consistently progressing towards my strength and fitness goals, returning to sports I thought were off the menu for me now.

What I love about it is how subtle it seems and how powerfully the transformation plays out across all areas of my life. I love how holistic it is and how integrated it is in how I live, breathe and move every day.

It’s given me so much awareness beyond my physical movement patterns and what they mean.

Reading the emotional and energetic patterns and how they show up in my body is like having this whole new way of listening and understanding what’s happening for me in my life that tells me exactly what I need to do in order to support myself and restore balance and alignment.”

When I arrived, my body had been screaming for days. My hips and glutes were tight and I’d had sleepless night, struggling to turn over in bed.

My body responded quickly during the BSM session. After your session I was able to walk without pain, and I felt straighter and more balanced during the day.

I could feel my abs and glutes switched on for the rest of the day. Using the exercises you showed me, I’ve been able to use them each morning to ensure I’m switching on those key muscle groups before starting my day, resulting in less pain and better sleep.

It’s amazing how you’re able to assess and apply your knowledge just by observing how I move, and how small movements and adjustments can change my body quickly with the Bod Story Method!

BSM Client

Before my Pilates session where Claudia incorporated the Body Story Method I was feeling unbalance and afterward I felt tall and balanced. The biggest insight that I had after the session is that I don’t have to make the moves big to experience changes and I enjoyed the quiet peacefulness of the session

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis after an attack that left me with only 60% movement on the right side of my body.

I started pilates classes with Claudia about 2 years ago and Claudia designed a programme which has assisted me with my balance, coordination and proprioception which were severely affected by the attack.  

Claudia is at all times extremely professional and takes a keen interest in her clients. She is hard working and a great motivator and I found her willing to make recommendations to help improve my overall health. The sessions with her helped me both physically and emotionally and I have since made a full recovery.

Claudia is WITHOUT a doubt the most incredible pilates teacher I’ve been taught by.

Her level of knowledge of the body, muscles and exercise is second to none. She is incredible and can alter any movement to ensure it is comfortable and appropriate for every client.

I couldn’t recommend Claudia enough, she is the best and you SHOULDN’T accept any less.

Building Pilates into my daily habits has been so worth it. My body used to feel stiff and sore getting out of bed every morning, but since starting pilates I’ve noticed a difference in my strength, body, shape, circulation and overall wellbeing.

The classes are varied and work all parts of your body with an incredible supportive and knowledgeable instructor.

I have really enjoyed every pilates with with Claudia. Her professional approach and attention to detail brings the best out of me every time.

Claudia challenges me through body awareness to strengthen muscle groups that provide relief and support for my back and neck pain.

I recommend Claudia for beginners to advanced clients.

I have been attending Claudia’s classes for over 6 months and I love them! I never thought I would do pilates as I was always a gym girl. I had tried a few classes elsewhere but never left feeling like “wow” until I started with Claudia.

My strength and flexibility has improved and Claudia has a way in which she always relaxes your mind. I look forward to the exciting things to come at Body Design Pilates and Yoga!

I am a HIIT fanatic and runner who has always avoided pilates despite the persisting advice that it has an incredibly positive impact on performance and injury prevention. Until I met Claudia, I ran a gauntlet on injuries, kept calm and carried on… I simply didn’t “GET IT”. 

From our very first session, Claudia has built an integrated program to address my areas of weakness and specifically support my running progress. She instructs with precision and purpose; in a way in which you can instantly grasp the benefit both within the exercise and beyond.

Her vast knowledge is evident. Her passion is palpable. Her kindness is key. Enjoy! You will not regret it!

"The Empowered Instructor helped me meet my income goals, I now know how to market my business confidently and get new clients weekly”

"I loved the Empowered Instructor online coaching program! It helped me manage my mindset and have a clear path of how to get clients into my business”

Claudia's Calm, Confident event left me feeling exactly that.

The tools, exercises and insights shared help me connect to my deeper self and my intentions whilst grounding me with strength and clarity.

Thank you Claudia for sharing some of your processes with me. What a wonderful night!

"After completing The Empowered Instructor I now work hours I want to work, I have doubled my income and booked out my studio. I have more energy when teaching and manage my time and business with ease"

"Since implementing the tools from The Empowered Instructor and working with Claudia, I have tripled my income and waitlisted my classes. I am working my ideal hours and attracting new enquiries with ease while living a more balanced lifestyle”

The event did exactly what it said on the tin :) it was peaceful, helped me stop and just rest, it was so lovely to connect with other women there and I felt so good afterward.

If you are looking for some downtime for yourself in a gorgeous environment then definitely head along! Claudia is the perfect guide for an event like this.

"I'm so grateful I found Claudia and her Empowered Instructor program. It gave me so many new tools and insights into myself and the spaces I create for my students. I am a yoga, meditation and embodiment Facilitator and through working with Claudia my studio classes became more popular as I became more connected to who I am and what I offer. The group coaching sessions with Claudia helped give me clarity and confidence on other ways I could expand my business.

As a result, I am now successfully offering my own 1:1 embodied coaching sessions to an ever expanding range of students. Thank you Claudia for you kindness, wisdom, encouragement and support. "

Thank you for the Calm, Confident Event Claudia! I thoroughly enjoyed taking that slice of time for myself.

Despite being immersed in the calming venue amongst the like minded people, I was surprised how long it took me to unwind - I definitely needed calming! But once I finally did, the sense of calm lasted well into the next day.

I loved the beautiful little touches you added, such as the cards and discovering whether my masculine or feminine side were dominating at that time.

The class was a lovely mix of gentle strength, movement and breath work. I left feeling so peaceful, and much more happy and present to slot back into regular life.

Thank you, I would love to attend another of these events.
