Guilherme,
Before HEP Permis, my motivation was low and I felt stressed behind the wheel — especially in traffic.
What made me decide? Friends and family who encouraged me to take the leap.
What I feared the most: having traffic around me.
What surprised me was the calm that settled in once I learned to focus on what was really happening around me, and the way my instructor inspired confidence. I felt supported throughout the lessons.
I learned to forget my fears and drive with peace of mind. Today, I enjoy the freedom of movement and the peace of no longer depending on my parents for transportation.
My advice: forget about others and focus on yourself.
How I feel: a sense of friendship that helps you move forward.
Morgane,
Driving used to scare me — I didn’t feel safe. I wanted to prove to myself that I was capable, but I feared having an accident. From the very beginning, I was surprised by the car I would be learning in and by the instructor’s patience.
In every lesson, I felt heard and guided — even about my personal worries. Getting my license changed everything for me: total freedom, comfort behind the wheel, and the pleasure of driving.
My message: never give up, persevere, push yourself further. With trusted support, anything becomes possible. For me, it’s one of the most beautiful experiences of my life.
Maria,
With two young children and past failures, I had neither the time nor the desire to relive the same frustrations with instructors who didn’t suit me. At HEP Permis, I found coaching that combined driving and stress management, tailored to my personality.
No judgment — just genuine listening and personalized advice. After three failed attempts, I finally felt that my opinion mattered and that I was understood.
Today, I use my car for my daily trips and I know I can do it. My advice: know where you’re going, how you’re getting there, and when… and doubt less when making decisions.
Adrien,
What was holding me back was time and a certain apprehension. Yet I wanted the freedom to go wherever I wanted and be independent. I feared the lessons would be long and stressful.
In the end, the lessons were always filled with good humor and kindness. I felt supported, understood, and I enjoyed learning.
Getting my license changes everything: new possibilities, helping out in daily life, and the pleasure of driving. I still remember my first lesson at the Gyb — a mix of stress and joy.

My journey
Born and raised in Switzerland, I took over HEP Permis, the driving school founded by my grandfather in 1963. My path didn’t stop on the road: I also developed a coaching practice dedicated to people seeking inner alignment, often after living in the shadow of a more recognized partner. Both journeys taught me that, in driving as in life, confidence is not given… it is built.
My mission
To help each person shine fully, while staying true to themselves.
Whether through driving – where I mainly support adults returning to or starting behind the wheel – or through my coaching work, where I help clients move past fear and limitations, my commitment remains the same: to create a safe, demanding, and deeply human space where growth becomes possible.
