Whether you are
preparing for a race, learning how to support your changing body, adjusting the way you train,
or moving toward a goal, vision, or new chapter, progress rarely depends on one thing only.
CHOOSE YOUR PATH:
Trail & Ultra Running Coaching
Personalized coaching for trail runners and ultra athletes who want smarter training, stronger bodies, and better race execution.
From your first trail race to a big ultra goal, your training should fit your body, your terrain, your life, and your long-term progression.
CHOOSE YOUR PATH:
Fit & Healthy Menopause
Health and fitness coaching for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and midlife changes.
For women 40+ who want to understand their changing body, build strength, support energy and recovery, and create training, nutrition, sleep, and lifestyle habits that last.
CHOOSE YOUR PATH:
Professional Coaching
Coaching for people who want to move forward with more clarity, intention, and confidence.
For personal or professional decisions, transitions, goals, relationships, communication, and moments when you want clearer thinking, better options, and a more intentional next step.
One approch. Three paths.
My work brings together coaching, training, education, and real-life strategy.
Whether we are talking about:
trail running, midlife health, or personal and professional growth, I look at the whole picture: the goal, the person, the body, the habits, the recovery, the environment, and the life around it.
The context may change. The process stays grounded:
Clarify where you are
Recognize what matters
Use your strengths
Build a realistic structure
Take action
Adjust as you grow
This is not about adding more noise, more pressure, or more generic advice.
It is about helping you move forward with more awareness, strength, and ownership.

Testimonials
Catherine Désourdy, 37
Coordinator for Real Estate Developer
At the beginning of this year, I want to thank you for the role you played in my 2023!
Our coaching sessions had an incredibly positive impact on me and helped me move in the right direction.
My biggest takeaway from our sessions was truly realizing and recognizing my value. Not being afraid to speak up when something isn't working. Knowing what I’m worth. This has carried me through the rest of the year, and I’m bringing it with me into 2024!
Ronald Bastien, 55
Vice-president IT Solutions
An exceptional coach whose focus is to help me achieve my objectives by really listening and providing relevant actionable plans, she’s about results, my results.
She’s an amazing inspiration. You just want to work with her to do great things. You have a BHAG, see it become reality with Hélène.
Line Pelletier 57
Lead Veterinarian
I would recommend this kind of support to any woman, whether she is new to running or an experienced athlete.
It is reassuring and very valuable to work with a coach who considers the differences we often live through silently, as our bodies change — sometimes quickly.
In 2025, I felt a little lost, wondering if I still had a place in this endurance sport that no longer seemed to fit the woman I was becoming.
Now, it is completely different. I know I have my place, and that I can still take on big challenges. Hélène gave me hope again and helped me believe in abilities I thought I had lost.
