Hi, I’m Claudia Domancie

I’m a Mum of 2 living in Melbourne Australia, originally from South Africa. I love hiking in nature with my husband and boys, eating out and I’m always keen for a challenge.

I’ve been lucky enough to have been mentored by professionals at the top of their field and I’m humbled to have helped thousands of clients to transform their minds and bodies for 25+ years through various holistic methodologies.

I’m a Diploma Qualified Clinical Pilates Instructor, Third generation Clinical Pilates Teacher, Advanced NLP Practitioner, Life Coach, Reflexologist, Yoga Teacher, Reiki Healer and Personal Trainer.

Clients I’ve worked with include Professional Athletes, Judges, Doctors, Osteopaths, Mums, Post Trauma, PostNatal Clients, Celebrities, clients with injuries, post-operative, Neurological Conditions, Disc Bulges and clients experiencing Anxiety, Depression and much more.

For over 25 years I’ve worked alongside GPs, Surgeons, Alignment Professionals to ensure clients are in safe hands and we’re not just managing their pain but reducing the pain and in alot of cases healing clients by totally rebalancing their body, mind and Nervous System.

The way I work incorporates my experience with working with the Nervous System, resetting muscle memory and thought patterns. Growing up in a dangerous and violent place called Johannesburg South Africa, I experienced trauma and suffered PTSD, Depression and Anxiety for many years.

I found ways of recovering from PTSD, anxiety, depression and PTSD through dedicating 25 years of my life to studying the mind and body and how to heal from trauma.

I’ve synthesised my experience from working with thousands of clients and combined my knowledge from methodologies I’m qualified in and created a powerful transformational method called the Body Story Method.

The Body Story Method teaches Pilates Teachers, Yoga Teachers, Healers, Acupuncturists, Counselors, Psychologists and Body Workers to read their clients better and know what’s happening physically, emotionally and energetically before they speak to uncover what’s holding them back and surfacing to be healed.

I run in person and online trainings to help all Change Workers to help their clients at a much deeper level to reduce chances of their emotional or physical pain recurring by resetting the nervous system, mind and body through quick, subtle and effective techniques.

Testimonials

  • “As a client of the Body Story Method, I've been guided through emotional upheavals and life challenges while recovering from recurring injuries - all without losing progress towards my fitness and strength goals. What I love most is how subtle the process feels, yet how profoundly it transforms every aspect of my life.

    This method has given me deep awareness, not just of my movement patterns but of the emotional and energetic patterns behind them. It's like learning a new language that helps me understand what I need to do to restore balance and alignment in my life”

    Amy Bell - Master Trainer and Coach

  • "Before learning the Body Story Method, I relied on posture and what clients said. Now, I understand so much more just by observing their bodies. This method allows me to give clients what they didn't even know they needed and my confidence in teaching and coaching has soared"

    Tawhnee - Pilates Instructor and Life Coach

  • Through the training, I’ve got a new awareness of how my own body shows up as I go through different emotions and experiences.

    Linking that with what I learned as an NLP Practitioner, Dance Facilitator and Yoga Teacher has been really interesting.

    It’s going to make a big difference to my sessions with clients!

    Carla - NLP Practitioner and Yoga Teacher

  • 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

  • I enjoyed the confidence with which you are able to so clearly see all the micro cues and their correlated emotional significance

    No I have an even deeper curiosity about the body and its language.

    With even just being able to quickly identify 2 or 3 key micro cues before starting a session with clients, this will make such a huge difference to my sessions!

    I already used it during my last 3 days of sessions, we are already focusing on footwork this month and I was able to see that much more into what and why clients bodies were telling me just through their movements!

    This is much like learning another language, this method opens the mind to possibilities of communication not yet understood!

    I have worked across a number of Pilates workshops and conferences and I would love to see you sharing this in those large format environments, they would eat it up!

    Lauren - Pilates Studio Owner and Instructor

  • "I love how the Body Story Method combines different modalities into one powerful approach. It helps me connect more deeply with my clients by understanding what their bodies are truly saying, even when words fall short. This method has not only strengthened my practice but also made my offerings more impactful"

    Tamika - Yoga Teacher and Business Owner

  • This is awesome intuitive work. Upon first hearing about, I didn’t think it would be something I could do and thought it would be out of my reach.

    However when we learned the techniques I got the feeling that it is something I could get the hang of.

    I gained confidence -that even though, I thought at first glance, that I couldn’t grasp the concept, I actually could.

    This learning helps you see what your client needs in their physical training and emotional coaching and saves a lot of time figuring out what your client needs.

    Anon - Yoga Teacher

  • "When I arrived, my body had been screaming for days - my hips and glutes were tight, and sleepless nights made everything worse.

    But after one Body Story Method session, I felt a dramatic shift. I was able to walk without pain and felt more balanced throughout the day. My abs and glutes stayed activated long after our session, and now, using the exercises you showed me each morning, I've experienced less pain and better sleep.

    It's incredible how you can access and apply your knowledge just by watching how I move, making small adjustments that have such a big impact on my body"

    Mike Fitzpatrick - 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”

    Olivia - Client

  • "After being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and losing 40% of movement on my right side, I began sessions with Claudia.

    She designed a program that significantly improved my balance, coordination, and recovery. These sessions with Claudia have helped me physically and emotionally and I've since made a full recovery"

    Dianne, Body Story Method Client

  • "Claudia is hands down the most incredible Pilates Teacher I've ever had. Her knowledge of the body, muscles and exercises is unmatched. She has an amazing ability to adapt movements so they are perfectly suited to each client's needs- she's simply the best and you shouldn't settle for any less"

    Sarah - Body Story Method Client

  • "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."

    Mandy, Body Story Method Client

  • "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 Story Method!"

    Michelle, Body Story Method Client
