LOVE AND LEADERSHIP
Lead forward with confidence
Break through the inner barriers holding you back with impostor syndrome, procrastination and lack of clarity - both in love and leadership.
A lightning-fast process that sparks deep transformation.
I'm Joelle Parent, and I help heart-led women break through unconscious blocks to forge their inner power
Trained in Transformational Leadership, I blend deep presence, razor-sharp perspective shifts, and neuroscience-based techniques to dissolve emotional blocks at lightning speed. My work is bold yet deeply nourishing —a space where breakthroughs happen, clarity lands, and new possibilities unfold in real life action.
After an unfulfilling corporate career, I launched and sold my first business just before AI made it obsolete. Phew! I designed my own 52-week self-leadership experiment —a deep dive into human nature, courage, and vulnerability. Then I trained with incredible transformation coaches who live and teach outside the beaten path.
Today, I bring intuitive precision, radical clarity, and powerful “aha” moments to women who are done playing small and ready to claim their full impact.
My clients come to me to unblock these 5 challenges:
Imposter syndrome
"Who am I to do this?"
Difficulty asserting your leadership, authority or expertise. Owning your new role or endeavour while fearing of being exposed as a fraud despite clear evidence of competence.
This is about reclaiming your power and knowing—on a deep, embodied level—that you belong here.
Lack of clarity
"What do I really want?"
Struggling to make a move when you don't know what you want. Navigating change in work and relationships, making important decisions amidst uncertainty.
The Clarity Process releases the doubts and fears around your options so you can clearly see the path that's yours.
Procrastination
"Why can't I just do it?"
Difficulty taking action on meaningful projects and initiatives, despite how much they matter to you - and despite you knowing and being capable of doing what needs to be done.
Here we are uprooting the deeply seated source resistance to get you moving effortlessly.
Lack of discipline/self-care
"Why do I keep putting myself last?"
Having trouble prioritizing your well-being or success and maintaining consistent routines - while you're deeply caring for everybody else.
This goes way beyond making time for yourself. Part of you is afraid of what will happen when you do.
Matters of the heart
"Why is this happening again?"
Struggling to change recurring patterns in relationships, walking through a separation, re-thinking the single life, setting healthy boundaries, releasing emotional overwhelm.
Here's your space to let it all out and be held with unconditional love as we mend and strengthen your heart.
Who is this for?
I best serve attuned, brilliant women (and some men).
Entrepreneurs / intrapreneurs / solopreneurs, coaches, leaders
Playful. Successful. Open-hearted.
Tournée vers l’action, la croissance personnelle et l’expansion spirituelle.
A burning desire to have a positive impact in this chaotic world.
With me, they gain clarity, alignment, and sustained motivation.
They feel seen and supported.
They build real forward momentum = impact & results.
Why this "breakthrough" work?
Over 95% of your choices, decision and actions
are driven by your subconscious!
Wherever you're trying to go, deep motivations either propel you forward or sabotage your progress.
Your unconscious saboteurs may have been shaped by past experiences, inherited beliefs, emotional protections, and fears. They dig their claws in the ground, resisting your forward movement. You're feeling stuck and have no clue of what you're dragging being you.
Bringing unconscious resistances to the surface takes a lot of work – paying attention to your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, daily journaling, deep self-reflection, and possibly undertaking therapy.
Or you can just book a breakthrough session.
At first, clients are surprised with what comes up and how fast it is. “I’ve been carrying this for all these years!!” We take care of what’s coming to the surface with such gentleness and compassion it feels so good. And just like that, they step up with confidence in their gifts and leadership.

Success Stories
Joëlle is an exceptional breakthrough mentor.
With her gentle, caring, and insightful approach, she helped me identify and release the blockages that were preventing me from fully accepting a part of myself.
With sensitivity and efficiency, she guided me toward change, allowing me to grow with greater clarity and serenity.
Her support has been truly transformative, and I am deeply grateful for her invaluable guidance. 🙏✨
- Roxanne Turcotte
Partner, Board Member - Venture Cap + Private Equity
Joëlle’s promise is that it will be quick, simple, and effective. This is absolutely true… and I would even add: compassionate.
In one session, I was able to identify and overcome limiting beliefs that were hindering my leadership posture as an entrepreneur and leader.
Her guidance is of exceptional quality, and I was impressed by how quickly I gained clarity, allowing me to better understand my challenges.
I recommend this experience to anyone looking to break free from their blocks and evolve quickly… with all of Joëlle’s humanity.
- Mélanie Lambert
Co-founder, Boostalab Learning Solutions
I arrived at the session with a blockage facing an entrepreneurial project I had to heart. Until then, I hadn’t been able to identify what was preventing me from moving forward and bringing it to life.
The session did its work and triggered a surge of action. I remember going to bed that night with such lightness, feeling wrapped in a sublime veil of gratitude, audacity, and desire to create.
Joëlle, sincerely, THANK YOU. You knew how to listen, be present, capture the essential elements to allow me to move forward, and above all, walk my path. A few months later, I confirm concrete results: I launched my project (the Être en affaires podcast) and cast 20 episodes! Thank you!
- Bénédict L.-Deschamps
Entrepreneur, Coach, Trainer, Speaker
Joëlle, it is your deep and quiet presence that stands out for me.
From that profound depth of presence comes all things…
Your kindness, your patience, your refined intuition and intelligence, your gutsy and sweet boldness, your hilarious sense of humour weave themselves beautifully into your practice, making you a powerful healer.
Around you we all come home to ourselves.
Thank you for your dedication to this precious work.
The world needs you.
- Dr Larry Nusbaum, MD
Physician and Psychotherapist
My work with Joëlle over the past 3 months has been transformative. The breath techniques she uses quieted my intensely loud mind chatter, and allowed me to tap into the natural wisdom my body has to offer. She is a deeply gifted reflector, picking up on the small details and needs I wasn’t even aware of.
I was hesitant for years about getting a therapist because I didn’t want to have to explain all the background. While Joëlle is not a therapist, in my own words I would describe her as a therapeutic coach, which is exactly what I wanted. She doesn’t rely on stories, she bases her work on the feeling that her clients are experiencing in the moment. This means we can bypass the ‘he said, she said’ and use our time much more effectively to get to the root emotion, release what is no longer needed, and find what nourishes the part of me that was hurt.
She listens deeply and intently, but left so much room for me to actually discover what was underneath my own emotions. When I felt stuck, or didn’t know how to move forward, she gracefully guided me back on track.
Though I never met Joëlle in person, her lightness, love, and delicacy radiated through Zoom. This easily opened the door for mutual trust and made me feel comfortable sharing even my most uncomfortable thoughts.
If you want someone to gently push you to be the best version of yourself, someone to truly see you - in any and all emotions, and someone who doesn’t tell you what’s wrong with you, but gives you the tools to see what is happening in your own body, Joëlle is it.
- Deagan Maki
Breathwork & connection circle facilitator
We all have limitations that hold us back in certain areas of our lives. Joëlle’s approach helps identify these often intertwined blockages and pinpoint those that are truly at the root of our difficulties.
Her attentive listening, kindness, and warmth create a space where we can face our fears and desires without judgment.
My experience with Joëlle allowed me to fully embrace and own my leadership, making me more authentic with myself and others.
I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to overcome recurring obstacles once and for all.
- Jenny-Kate Sgarbi
Director, Commercial Real Estate
As a founding partner of a fast-growing strategy, design, and technology firm (70+ employees), my role is evolving towards a more strategic one.
Joëlle has guided me to a great level of clarity about my challenges, my intentions, and, most importantly, my blind spots.
Her innovative process allows to do in a few minutes deep work which would normally take hours. I have been able to express and define solutions that were previously impossible for me to see. I feel much lighter and my actions have become easier to implement.
I am impressed by the precision of her intervention and the depth she allows.
I recommend Joëlle to any leader or entrepreneur looking to accelerate their transition to the next level.
- Karim Salabi
Founding Partner, Ascendis
Thank you for the gift of opening my heart and mind coherence with your exceptional guidance.
You held the space with love, compassion and expert cultivation.
I wasn’t sure on what would unfold... then it was magnificent to be seen and heard by you. I felt a release of energy and stagnant thoughts flow from me.
For days afterwards I sensed an increase of capacity and my body and mind just felt lighter.
Your session left a profound mark on my expansion. Thank you with all my heart.
I can’t recommend your Breakthrough to enough people!
It is transformative in shifting stuck beliefs and old patterns.
In such a short period of time!
- Hope Paterson
Transformation Coach & Entrepreneur
In my short time working with Joelle, she helped me zero in on an area of maximum stuckness.
She then led me through a process of expanding and exploring this stuckness. Together we navigated the feelings and stories associated with this delicate territory, releasing it as we went.
I encountered many different aspects of myself that I had unknowingly been ignoring, suppressing, and repressing.
Joelle helped me to engage these tender parts with curiosity, compassion, and gentleness. In doing so, I was able to stay with them and the challenging array of feelings they bring up long enough to actually listen to them and have a conversation.
The insights which arose from engaging with these parts gave me keys to my particular brand(s) of stuckness that I have been working with to great effect since.
I can’t recommend working with Joelle highly enough.
- James Paterson
Digital / analog / software Artist, code teacher and avid meditator
Joelle’s calming and curious nature removes the fear of confronting sensitive issues.
She helps to zero in on what matters and more importantly WHY it matters.
I had a productive session that allowed me to move past some long-time barriers.
I will continue to leverage her techniques in the future. Thank you, Joelle!
- Dayna Lapkovsky
CEO of Frank Women's Leadership
I loved my one-on-one sessions with Joelle, as much for her unparalleled quality of presence as for the depth of her guidance.
I experienced a very powerful transformation thanks to the technique and personalized approach she uses. All with exceptional sensitivity, gentleness and empathy, fostering a conscious and lasting evolution.
Wow, thank you, I love the new person I am now thanks to your guidance! 🙂
- Moana Lebel
Founder and Director of Biomimicry Institute
I feel grateful to have had the opportunity to experience Joelle’s work.
She created a space that made me feel relaxed and open which helped me see myself from within at a higher resolution.
Since our session, I have a new found confidence in what I was struggling to overcome.
I’m grateful for the experience and would recommend a breakthrough session to anyone looking to align with their higher self.
- Jordan Owens
Ex NHL hockey player, Co-Founder of Origin Creative
Joelle has been highly effective in helping me uncover the fears and stories I use to avoid facing the uncertainty of what I want in my own life.
With her gentle yet powerful presence, she helps me shift my focus.
I moved from being trapped in fear and self-doubt to reconnecting with the energy of my aspirations.
Now I can operate from a place of clarity and possibility.
Joelle gets me unstuck and as a result I feel relieved, energized and confident in my bold next step.
Thank you Joelle for your loving kindness.
