    Coaching and Somatic Therapy helps you integrate your emotions and thoughts into a body-connected approach.
    Somatic Coaching sessions address the felt experience of the body, its movement pattern and alignment in connection with thought and emotional patterns. Through the body, you will learn to regulate your nervous system, being able to create a greater habit of connection with yourself and your environment, being able to create more harmonious responses with yourself, reducing a reactive and stressful state. In the sessions we will work on the blockages that make it difficult for you to achieve your goals and the change and horizon through your body and how the body represents this state and feels the blockages. Through this embodied emotional and psychological integration, you will be surprised at how any change is much easier than you had thought. You will gain a safe space within yourself, where integrating emotions, blockages and trauma moves into your tolerance zone. In the sessions you will learn tools to improve your self-esteem, confidence and manage stress and anxiety in a very practical and personal way.

    Chess class for beginners: Understand the basic principles, learn how to analyse the chessboard and build a strong foundation as a chess player
    Chess is a fun game that starts with the basic rules and moves through the 3 parts of the game: the opening, the middlegame, and the endgame. The focus at first is to teach you how the pieces move, what the goal of the opening is, and how the pieces interact. You will also learn the vocabulary related to chess and chess notation. Tactics are then explored to take advantage of hanging pieces, lack of king safety, space, and tempo. From here depending on what your personal goals are we will adapt the classes to cover what will help you progress. I can also give group classes, contact me if you have a group, we can discuss how to best organise those classes and pricing.
