Christine Suvanto
Christine coaches, develops, challenges and trains you and your organization. Always with a professional, genuine, and dedicated approach, complete confidentiality, and guaranteed privacy.
If you want to make a difference, develop, move forward, achieve a goal, or explore your thoughts and ideas with a neutral sparring partner, professional coaching is perfect for you. It is difficult to break behavioral patterns and it is often exhausting to try to find solutions on your own – together with a trusted partner, a professional coach, making a change and finding the right solutions become much easier.
Christine coaches, supports, and trains leaders and managers as well as companies and organizations in developing their relationships, communication, collaboration, and leadership skills.
Since 2013, Christine has also trained professional coaches in accordance with the ICF Code of Ethics and Core Competencies in an ICF ACTP coach-specific training program.
If you want to grow as a professional coach, if your goal is to reach the next certification level or if you are in the process of renewing your credential (ICF ACC/PCC/MCC) and need an experienced Mentor Coach, don’t hesitate to contact Christine.

Anna Nordström
I want to help you understand yourself more deeply, clarify your thoughts, find solutions, and grow as a person. Through this process, your motivation will increase, and you’ll experience joy and increased energy levels.
As a method, coaching assists you in personal development, enhances self-awareness, and creates opportunities to achieve your goals.
As a coach, I consider myself enthusiastic, open, and empathetic.
Currently, I work as a designated coaching professional at Gymnasiet Grankulla samskolan and Mattliden gymnasium. Additionally, I undertake coaching assignments for individuals and businesses. Mentor coaching is also part of my activities.
Previously, I spent several years in the business sector, both in Helsinki and in companies abroad, working in sales, budgeting, customer relations, training, coaching, and team responsibilities.
I graduated as a coaching professional in 2015. I place great importance on expertise and ethical principles, which is why I obtained an accredited certification from the International Coaching Federation (ICF). The ICF is a global professional organization for coaches, ensuring the quality of core competencies and ethical principles.

ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC),
Early Childhood Education Teacher
Pia Peltoniemi
We all have thoughts about the future, dreams, and aspirations, seeking new paths in our lives. As a coach, I help you discover fresh perspectives and ideas about yourself, enabling you to achieve seemingly impossible things. Within each person lies untapped potential and courage, waiting to emerge.
As a coach, I am gentle, safe, and attentive—a companion on your journey toward possibilities and goals. My approach is rooted in humanity, acceptance of diversity, and authenticity. Every client, whether an individual or a group, is unique, and their needs form the foundation of my work. I value your distinct self and your desire to be coached.
My background lies in early childhood education, and I have experience as a kindergarten teacher and director.
Drawing from my strong expertise in early childhood education, I understand the challenges faced by both teams and individual caregivers. I coach teams and individual employees in professional growth and support. A resilient, enthusiastic, and skilled staff ensures high-quality and reliable early childhood education for children and families.
I am passionate about continuous learning and deepen my coaching skills through workshops, literature, and training. I engage in various forms of physical activity and enjoy traveling.
I coach individuals and teams. I conduct workshops and lectures in early childhood education. I am also involved in the Stars project. I provide coaching in both Finnish and Swedish.
Our initial meeting, lasting 30 minutes, introduces you to coaching and allows you to ask questions. Only when you feel that coaching meets your needs will we proceed to formalize our agreement.
If you are interested in coaching and want to learn more, you can schedule a meeting through my calendar or reach out to me directly.

ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC)
Karin Laubert
I want to help you or your team find inner balance to support well-being. When you are at your best, everyday tasks and work flow more smoothly. Team balance, in turn, provides a strong foundation for existing structures and inspires the creation of something new—developing the organization to the next level.
However, at the core of life is the individual. Regardless of life stage, the starting point is always the person. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to be a manager for people of different ages and cultural backgrounds. As a manager, I realized that achieving balance in leading people depends on how effectively a leader can consider and integrate all diversities. Coaching leadership fosters trust, reveals hidden strengths, and develops existing ones. Coaching serves as a lifeline for workplace well-being, whether in project construction, considering all participants, creating strategies, resolving conflicts, or conducting development discussions. It also plays a crucial role in professional encounters.
I sought international training specifically to enhance cross-cultural work environments and achieve my ICF ACC certification. Coaching became a way of life for me, and I haven’t been able to stop learning, participating in training primarily in Finland and Estonia. On my personal journey, I hold the vision of “A Happy Life, Where Everything Is Possible.” I firmly believe that everyone can create such a life. As a coach, I instill hope, positivity, and enthusiasm in people, encouraging them to build a life that reflects their unique vision.
Feel free to reach out if you need assistance in any life situation. Let’s discuss and find the right solution for how coaching can fit into your life.

Our mission
We change the world
"If we can help a person, team or organization to strengthen and function better, we have taken a small step in the right direction."
Our mission – 3P
We change the world by being Passionate about professional coaching, with our own Personal touch and always with top Professionality. This means that everyone, regardless of background, is welcome to us and to our education programs when they want to change the world, starting with themselves. When they come to us, they meet one of our team members, a unique human being that embodies a coaching mindset and the ethics of professional coaching. We represent professional coaching and a coaching mindset in everything we do, and act as role models for everyone else, so that they see the effective benefits of coaching and can acquire a coaching mindset and effective coaching tools themselves. That is how we change the world.
Our vision
Our vision is that everyone has access to coaching, regardless of resources or circumstances. Coaching should be a part of business and life; at workplaces, at schools, in homes, and we constantly conduct development projects, workshops and trainings to make this a reality. Because coaching should be accessible to anyone, our coaching education programs and courses are designed to support diversity and inclusion: they welcome leaders, parents, teachers, salespersons, consultants, business gurus, persons in between jobs, persons seeking a life change, persons seeking a career change, siblings, couples, etc. This diversity promotes the human factor of coaching: we concretely show that coaching is about human meeting human – thus titles, roles, grades, or other shallow attributes do not matter.
Our learning philosophy
We know that the core competencies and ethics of professional coaching are best learned through – coaching. That is why we combine a clear theory of professional coaching in accordance with the ICF principles with our own model of 3D coaching.
