Chess lessons for professional career or presonal development given by the Scottish Cup winner.
Hi, I’m a professional chess player with over 20 years of experience, twice champion of Scotland, a league winner, and a multiple-time winner of international tournaments. I’ve worked with students of all ages and skill levels — from absolute beginners to seasoned tournament players — and I always adapt my approach to the specific goals and personality of each student. For the past seven years, I’ve been working as a dedicated chess instructor. Many of my students have gone on to win tournaments themselves, and I continue coaching players from different countries, often teaching in multiple languages to support their growth. Whether you're looking to explore chess for personal development, sharpen your thinking skills, or take your game to the next level competitively, I can help. My lessons are tailored — we can focus on tournament prep, building and refining your opening repertoire, going deep into endgames, understanding positional play, or just playing with structure and purpose. I bring a method that’s not just about memorizing moves but truly understanding the game and enjoying it. No matter your age or level, there’s always a next step — and I’ll help you take it.

Rediscover Your Body: Movement & Skill Training Outdoors
In this class, I invite you to explore different flavours of movement practice based on what excites you the most. Whether you're drawn to strength, mobility, or play, each session is tailored to your interests. We’ll start with a quick conversation about what you’d like to focus on, and from there, we’ll dive into a practice that’s engaging, fun, and suited to your pace. Explore What Moves You: • Ground Locomotion: learn movements like lizard walks, elastic push-ups, and cossack squats that develop full-body strength. • Mobility: gain movement freedom by working on spine and hip literacy, or targetting weak links like wrists and ankles. • Balancing: sharpen your senses and improve body awareness by learning to balance on your feet, hands, head, shoulders—and on rails, working with fear to push your limits and build resilience. • Climbing: explore trees, bars, and urban structures to develop an intelligent body capable of solving complex problems. • Jumping & Catching: improve coordination, precision, and reaction speed through fun, dynamic tasks. • Soft acrobatics: challenge and surprise yourself with movements like cartwheels, rolls, and kick-ups. Why It Works: This isn’t just about fitness—it’s about reconnecting with your body in a way that feels empowering and fun. If you’ve ever felt out of place in a gym or found traditional workouts uninspiring, this class is for you. It’s about discovering how movement can be a joyful, meaningful experience—building strength, balance, and confidence at your own pace. Ready to explore your body’s potential in a whole new way? I would love to guide you!

Fascia flows to free your body. Reset the body with Balance Workout
Why is pelvic mobility important? 🔆Pelvic mobility is essential to meet the simplest daily functional needs such as walking or climbing stairs. The pelvis is the center of gravity and the largest bone complex in the human body. It is an insertion point for strong muscles: they form the muscular chains that have the pelvis as an anchor point. The shortening or overtraining of some of them, due to sports postures or gestures, can generate an imbalance in the tensegrity system of the pelvic girdle and many local and adjacent problems, from muscle decompensations, pain, health problems at a visceral level and many others. aspects that are not taken into account 🧐 ✅You have to ensure that your pelvis is in a neutral position, aligned at all times and in any activity you do so that your body does not adopt wrong postures by default and avoid having problems with its mobility and consequently other derived dysfunctions, such as hernias, lower back pain. , pelvic floor problems, etc. 📌The program aims to strengthen, stretch and put into tension the muscle chains and the analytical work of the abductor, adductor, extensor and pelvitrochanter complex. All of these myofascial elements determine the pelvic position and, in doing so, create or limit the freedom of the pelvis, having repercussions on the lower and upper limbs. 🤗 Of course we are not going to leave aside the rest of the body❗️❗️😅 The training approach will be individualized, after a general and analytical body evaluation. Enough of so many aches and pains, release the superficial and deep fascia and revitalize your energy center. 🥰

I would like to put my skills out there that I have obtained together with my sports’ and nutrition qualification to help other people acheive their goals and their potential. People struggling with weight, to do lists, procrastination, bringing an idea out there or developing their business plan can contact me. I will be doing extra certifications in order to obtain more experience on top of what I have. This is why my prices are adapted for people that want to help me get further experienced in coaching.

Online Yoga class to get more in balance. For beginners & advanced
I will give this online yoga class completely customized for you. During the first lesson we will look at what you need, what your goals are or physical complaints. Are you experiencing back pain? Do you sleep badly? You name it and we'll work on it together. The yoga class can be combined with a meditation for inner peace. I teach various forms of yoga and I am a certified yoga teacher with 5 years of experience in teaching. I teach Hatha yoga, Vinyasa Flow, Kundalini and Yin Yoga. I can completely tailor my lesson to you. This way we can make it a quiet beginner class or if you already have yoga experience, add more power and speed. In each yoga class you do a number of yoga postures. All postures aim to make the organs, glands, joints, nervous system, blood vessels, balance, etc. function better. During the yoga postures, you stretch, stretch and stretch all kinds of muscles. The postures ensure improved blood flow to the entire body. The yoga postures (asanas), the breathing and relaxation exercises work together in yoga to consciously and deeply relax. Yoga has a deep impact on the energy system and nervous system, the body has the opportunity to relax, recover and recharge. Through yoga you will not only feel physically fit, but it can also give you more energy and space mentally and emotionally. Because you become more aware of your body, spiritual awareness follows and vice versa. During the yoga class you are with all your attention in the here and now and therefore with the exercises. By feeling and practicing your body with attention you increase the inner awareness. You gain insight into the interaction between thinking and feeling. This way you learn to recognize the signals such as stress and fatigue earlier. I look forward to working with you on better health and your goals. We can coordinate with each other which days and times are best for you and schedule these online weekly.

Consultation on Emotional Biodecoding (healing process)
As an emotional biodecoder, I want to accompany adults to heal the symptoms or conflicts that they may be manifesting, through exploration and self-observation (adults only). Locating those emotions that are trapped in the body. These emotions generally manifest themselves in symptoms on a physical level (illnesses, injuries, ailments, etc.) or behavioral (addictions, recurring patterns, mental blocks, etc.). Understanding the symptoms as messages that the body gives us and that allow us to know that the unconscious is still trying to solve a previous situation. Using different BDE techniques, we are going to find the root of the emotion and bring it to consciousness, so that, in this way, it can be expressed and lead to the healing process beginning. I have a Master's degree and international certification in International Coaching focused on Neurobiological Coaching (American School of Neurobiological Coaching - Cocrear - Flapco and European Academy of Neurosciences, Economics and Humanities); Ayurveda (Argentina) and Family Constellations (UK) Certifications in Yoga: 200 hours of multiple styles of yoga (India) and 300 hours in Kundalini specialization (India) Specialization in pre and post natal (US) and Specialization in children and adolescents (UK)
