In Level 2, move beyond common patterns to read the unique, unfolding personal narrative revealed in micro-movements as they speak.
This intensive certification connects a client’s body position, energetic "leakage," and stored emotional identity to create the profound, lasting shifts they haven't been able to achieve until now.
The "Magician" Perspective:
"I used to focus only on needles and symptoms. Now? I observe clients from the waiting room. My assessments are nuanced and my results are faster. Honestly? It makes me look like even more of a magician than before."
- Mary-Jo Bevin, Chinese Medicine Doctor & Acupuncturist
The Level 2 Evolution: Advanced Somatics
1. Advanced Full Body Story Mapping
Reading the Unfolding Story: Learn to read individual micro-movement patterns aka: the "Personal Body Story" that reveals itself in real-time as a client speaks.
Build on the common Body Stories: When movements are always changing, you’ll know what to do. Discovering conversational change without clients even knowing the session has begun! This eliminates them feeling like they have to be saying certain things or having all their points and problems ready to read out of their list.
Identify the Root: Connect gestures to energetic "leakage", blockages and habits. Identify exactly when a client lacks trust or connection, and when they are physically ready to open into a new way of being
Facilitation Mastery: Learn how to facilitate an Advanced Body Story Mapping Session, a deep-dive process that maps a client's history directly onto their physical form.
2. The Art of Trust & Rapport
Somatic Rapport: Whether you’re working 1:1 or group work - learn how to build deep, non-verbal rapport with clients to bypass their defensive "guarding" patterns without having to tell them to “relax” or “lets be present”. Build a natural connection with your clients that highlights the safe, supportive space you offer.
Deepening the Container: Master the art of pacing and leading a client's nervous system so their nervous system feel safe enough to explore suppressed emotional stories.
The Trust Frequency: Understand how your own "Neutral Field" as a practitioner acts as the primary tool for building the trust necessary for deep change work.
3. Somatic Exercises for Identity Shifts
Move beyond "soothing" and into "strengthening." You will learn specific exercises to help clients:
Gain Strength from the Past: Physically anchoring previous wins and ancestral resilience into the current body structure.
Reduce Future-Worry: Techniques to down-regulate the "anticipatory" nervous system so clients stop living in "what-if."
Land in the Body & Build Resilience: Specific story soothers to help clients stay resourceful and grounded in the exact contexts where they usually feel most overwhelmed.
Level 2 Certification Requirements
To become a Certified Level 2 Practitioner, you’ll demonstrate:
Full Body Analysis Fluency: Conducting an analysis in seconds to identify the root emotional identity.
Advanced Rapport Building: Demonstrating the ability to deepen trust and safety within a somatic session.
Resilience Application: Showing how to use specific exercises to shift a client from "unresourceful" to "grounded."
Clinical Support & Integration
Clinical Case Study Support: Real-time feedback as you begin offering Full Body Story Analyses for your own clients.
The "Neutral Field" Check-in: Group mentoring to ensure you stay clear and aren't "absorbing" client energy as you go deeper into their personal stories.

Story Soothers are specific somatic interventions used to regulate a client's state. They are designed to reset the nervous system and our body’s response under stress, anxiety, suppressed emotions and for clients who are "stuck in their head," those who have a "hard exterior" and are always in fight/flight mode, or those who are perpetually busy doing for others while neglecting themselves.

-
Yes. You will learn to see what people say through their movement patterns. This allows you to offer more than just physical cues; you can provide emotional and nervous system support that traditional exercise ignores. You’ll also read what’s outside of their awareness and know what could be contributing to physical pain and working more holistically not symptomatically.
-
It is an advanced facilitation process where the practitioner "maps" the client's emotional history, current stressors, and future potential through their physical body. It allows the client to see their life story reflected in their body movements and position and provides a clear path for physical and emotional strength and resourcefulness.
-
Future worry is often held as a common pattern in the body. Level 2 provides neuro-somatic exercises that physically signal to the nervous system that the person is safe in the present moment, effectively "landing" them back in their body.

Beyond the Intensive: The Mentoring Journey
We don’t just certify you and leave you.
Becoming a world-class practitioner requires more than just a 4-day event; it requires integration.
Following the October Intensive, trainees are invited to transition into the Body Story Mentoring Journey.
This post-intensive phase is designed to support you as you move from "student" to "authority" in your own clinic or studio.
Clinical Case Study Support: Real-time feedback as you begin offering Full Body Story Analyses for your own clients.
The "Neutral Field" Check-in: Group mentoring to ensure you aren't "absorbing" client energy as you go deeper into their stories.
Business Architecture: Guidance on how to package your new skills into high-value programs (without clients returning with the same problems).
“What’s interesting is that it is easy to recognise the patterns and it is also simple what to do once you’ve recognised the patterns and have the techniques of what to look for.
What made an impact with me is when I started to recognise some of the patterns in people around me and the instant results and changes I see in them after I applied the techniques for each pattern.
This method is profound and simple and easy to apply.”
Jonalyn - Acupuncurist and Master NLP Practitioner
Case Study:
"After a protruding disc injury, I lived with chronic pain and lost confidence in my body's abilities.
Unlike other practitioners targeting my neck, Claudia assessed my feet first—pinpointing issues I didn't realize contributed to my pain just by observing how I stood.
Within two sessions, chronic pain reduced dramatically and I felt confident again. I learned the body is interconnected—aligned feet guide everything. Now I live mostly pain-free and enjoy activities I loved before injury.
I look forward to more Practitioners being trained in the Body Story Method!"
Jane Kennedy - BSM Client
Here’s How To Know Level 2 Is What You Need:
You’ve completed Level 1 and know there’s so much more you need to learn in order to read the body with fluency
You can read the Body Stories but you can’t facilitate a full session yet
You feel confident about reading the body but you can’t read it all at once
You feel things happen too fast when clients speak
There are gaps in your sessions that you’d like to dive deeper into
What is the Body Story Method?
Here’s how you can explain what Body Story Method is to clients:
The Body Story Method is a scientific, evidence and somatic approach developed from 25 years of working with clients, Doctors, Alignment Professionals that shows you how to:
Read unconscious body patterns and gestures in an instant
See where clients are stuck, holding tension, or disconnected emotionally or physically
How to work safely with clients who don’t trust or feel safe in themselves
Read what’s happening physically, emotionally and energetically for clients
Understand the physical impacts of emotions on the body and where suppressed emotions are held
Know when someone’s stuck in the past, feeling numb or heavy emotionally, feeling out of control or needing to learn to voice how they actually feel
This method compliments your existing skills — whether you’re a Pilates Instructor, NLP practitioner, Psychologist, or Healer — and gives you the confidence to work at the level your clients truly need.
“Before learning the Body Story Method, I relied on posture and what clients told me, now I see what they need — before they say a word!
The Body Story Method has taken my confidence and coaching to the next level. Now, I can see so much more just by observing their bodies.
I’m able to give them what they didn’t even know they needed - and my confidence as a teacher and coach has soared.”
Tawhnee, Pilates Instructor & Life Coach

"Claudia's deep understanding of anatomical fascial connections was immediately clear - this pinpointed areas of tightness and weakness just by observing me stand. She quickly identified the root causes of my pain and limited range of motion.
In one session, her targeted exercises released tension and improved my mobility and stability. My running stride felt noticeably smoother and stronger afterward. If you're wanting to work with clients on a deeper level, you need to learn the Body Story Method!”

Testimonials
-
"Before Body Story Method, I focused only on pulse, symptoms, and tension during treatment—ignoring crucial data right in front of me.
Now I observe clients from the waiting room: how they walk, which side they favor, if an arm is clenched. This simple observation gives me subtle information to cross-reference with symptoms.
My assessments are more accurate and nuanced. Honestly? It makes me look like even more of a magician than before."

“This method is like learning a whole new language of the body. In just a few days, I started spotting key micro cues and understanding what my clients' bodies were really telling me — emotionally and physically. It’s already transformed how I teach. This needs to be shared on every big Pilates stage!”
Lauren, Pilates Studio Owner & Instructor -
“The Body Story Method helped me navigate emotional upheaval and recurring injuries — without losing momentum in my strength and fitness goals. It’s a subtle process with a powerful impact.
I’ve gained deep awareness of not just how I move, but why. It’s like learning a new language for healing and alignment.”

“One session and I walked out pain-free. Claudia’s small adjustments made a huge difference — I’m sleeping better and moving with ease again.
It's incredible how you can access and apply Body Story Method just by watching how I move, making small adjustments that have such a big impact on my body"”
Mike Fitzptrick, BSM Client -
"I worked with a chronic pain client suffering for 10 years with pelvic issues. Using Body Story Method, I made him aware of far more than just the pain—he left feeling significantly lighter.
His response: 'I've never had this result from any treatment.' After a decade of care, that shift was remarkable.
For myself, practicing the techniques revealed how crucial foot perception is for the entire body. The connection was undeniable and immediately impactful."
Richard Stevens - Osteopath and Body Story Practitioner
-
“The Body Story Method helped me see how rejection from my past created invisible limits in my life. I’d built a boundary around what felt ‘safe,’ but it was holding me back from so many things I wanted to do.
Just understanding how my body was bracing — and that it was part of an old story — helped me shift out of those patterns. I’m finally taking steps toward goals I’ve put off for years.”
Kate - Body Story Practitioner -
““This training gave me the confidence to work with clients in pain. Claudia’s support is amazing — I’m actually excited to take on these clients now!”

-
“This training gave me a new awareness of how my own body responds to emotions — and how that shows up in others. Combining it with my background in NLP, dance, and yoga has been eye-opening. It’s going to deeply enrich my client sessions.”
— Carla, NLP Practitioner & Yoga Teacher -
“Thanks to the Body Story Method, I had the most amazing session with a new client carrying deep emotional trauma. I was able to tune into her emotional needs and translate that into movement. She left feeling incredible — after trying everything else, this finally helped her feel real relief. I’m so grateful to be putting this work into practice.”
— Pilates Instructor -
It’s helped me truly understand what my clients’ bodies are saying — even when they can’t express it in words. My sessions are now deeper, more connected, and far more impactful.”
— Tamika, Yoga Teacher & Business Owner
