Denise Belisle, Owner


Who is Denise Belisle?

I am originally from Montreal, and French is my first language, but I have lived in Vancouver, Canada, for almost 27 years. Since my early twenties, I have been passionate about health and wellness and vowed never to grow old. I have attended several workshops and seminars and have read a large variety of books on the subject. For the most part, I have been living a healthy lifestyle. I have never been married and decided to take care of feline children. My cat, Tiger, is now almost 17 years old, and I love spending time with him. In my free time, I enjoy taking long walks and exploring the outdoors, which is perfect in British Columbia. What can your clients expect while working with you?

I work with professionals in their 50s and up who feel like they are on the hamster wheel of the new normal, empowering them to bring back the SPARK ✨ so they can rock the second half of their lives and shift from crisis to oasis. My clients will unleash their capacity to solve their problems, no matter how big they may be. I will work with my brave clients and design a personalized plan which helps them become more focused and in control of their lives without unnecessary frustration and exhaustion.

My clients are looking for a professional coach to help them identify the forces and factors that are holding them back from reaching their goals in their personal life, business, and finances. I have great passion and a willingness to go the extra mile to help my courageous clients find the success they deserve.

There is not one solution that will eliminate the stressors in one’s life. To become more serene, my clients will start a quest to find all contributing factors that cause them stress in the first place. These factors might have been with them for many years without even knowing it, and I will work with my clients to resolve them one at the time. What inspires you?

I have always been passionate about health and well-being. In my twenties, I made a vow never to grow old. As a result, I have become an avid researcher of anything related to anti-aging. I have read several books on the subject, attended numerous workshops and seminars, and even obtained certification as a functional medicine coach.

After completing the course, I realized that the primary source of health problems in people was stress. This realization ignited a passion within me to find ways to eliminate the sources of stress in people's lives. I started to question why some people become stressed while witnessing an event while others do not. I am convinced that we can learn to remove our triggers to stress.

I have seen several clients successfully learn to behave differently in front of stressful situations. With this knowledge, I became determined to help others by developing effective stress management strategies. As a result, I hope to help individuals improve their overall mental health and well-being. If you could change one thing about your industry, what would it be and why?

If I could change one thing, I would have coaching included as part of health benefits for everyone. In my opinion, numerous people require the guidance and support of emotional and mental coaches, but unfortunately, these services are often financially out of reach. I am confident that if everyone had access to this kind of assistance and developed greater emotional and positive balance in their lives, the world would be a much better place for all.

I recognize the significant need for emotional and mental support nowadays and understand that financial barriers can prevent many individuals from accessing these vital services. By incorporating coaching into health benefits packages, people would be able to receive the necessary guidance and support to improve their emotional and mental well-being. As a result, this would lead to a more positive and productive society overall. I am convinced that focusing on these aspects of personal development is essential not only for individuals but also for society in general. What is a pivotal moment in your life that brought you to where you are today?

Approximately 25 years ago, I discovered the concept of emotional intelligence (EI), which transformed my life and my perspective of the world. Since then, I have dedicated my time to studying and applying the science of EI.

One of the most significant moments in my learning journey took place when I made the decision to become 100% responsible for what happened to me. Although challenging, I stopped using phrases such as "It's not my fault..." and instead took charge of my life and became accountable for my actions.

This decision led to a positive change in my life. I became more considerate, achieved more success in my career, and stopped blaming external circumstances or people for my failures. When I fell, I got back up, dusted myself off, and kept moving forward.

From that point on, I became more independent and content. I no longer depended on others or material things to make me happy. I learned how to discover happiness in the present moment, and found inner peace with myself and the world.
