My approach
For close to 6 years, I am training and developing my Rally piloting skills, the last few years in Finland and since 2024 on my own car, a Golf GTI MK1.
The country, and the way to approach the learning and development of serious driving skills have won me over from the beginning. They are in phase with my own way and approach in accompanying people through somatic coaching.
With, in addition, the nature, the silence and a different rhythm of life (outside Helsinki),…Finland has slowly turned into my 2nd country, home from home.
The Experiences with Somatic Coaching I propose are designed with care, with all these elements in mind, on the level of driving and on the level of coaching. The conscious movement between calm, rest and recuperation, learning and performance, forms the foundation of all Experiences, in and outside the car.
From my own experience and approach, I plan the Experiences with Somatic Coaching with the following points in mind:
- Offer a unique space, in calm up to high-intensity, from rest, into learning and performance. Allowing to deepen the own capacities and agency to modulate own states, in awareness, in situations of stress and challenge, for optimal focus, learning and performance. In the car and, through the Experience and the coaching, also in everyday life.
- In a welcoming environment, down to earth, without judgment, with clarity and honesty, so that everyone who feels the impulse and/or the wish to live such an Experience, can dare, safely.
- For beginners just as for amateurs and experiences pilots.
- To experience Finland, beyond the beaten tracks.
- Give and keep access, in the limits of what is possible, to the possibility to learn and/or develop the own driving skills, with joy, in a welcoming and professional environment, instruction and coaching.
- Give access to a professional training in Finland to amateur/experienced pilots in competition, or wanting to start out in competition, to develop their piloting skills and prepare a first or the next Rally. With a professional Rally instruction and personalized coaching.
Accommodation, additional activities,…are hence not included automatically in the offered Driving Experiences.
You keep the autonomy over your plan, with respect to your focus, objective, budget,… . In consequence, you have always the option, and are welcome to, to book only the Experience & Coaching.
I am at your disposal for questions with your booking and share with pleasure my experience in Finland, beyond driving and Rally: information, contacts and possibilities in the regions for accommodation, activities, the different travel options (train, bus, rental car,…), to travel with your own car/classic car/Campervan and/or bring your own Rally car/Historic Rally car, to integrate an Experience & Coaching within a vacation in Finland, summer or winter,…
Bring your driving to new limits by bringing yourself into new states of learning and performance, through a lasting experience, deepening your driving skills and your handling of stress and intensity, inside and outside the car.
Dare an new experience! Being your own and the cars’ pilot!
With instruction and coaching starting from where you are at!
Without stress, but with the joy and passion for driving, the Finnish way!
Coming into your own aliveness from a centered presence and inner safety, in all energy states!
Welcome to Lifedrive!

The coaching preparation can be adapted to your individual needs and objectives, before (included: 1x60Min.session, 1x30Min. the day before driving) and during the driving day, to enhance learning and its integration, develop better ability to handle intensity and smoothly shift from action into recuperation and rest.
