Does any of this sound familiar?
The real problem isn't you
Think about everything you learned in school:
- How to dissect a frog (gross)
- The names of all the provincial capitals (so useful)
- How to calculate the area of a parallelogram ("That'll come in handy," said no one EVER)
But nobody taught you how to make your money grow. Nobody taught you how investing works, what to buy, what to avoid, and how to build a portfolio you can trust.
And yet, wealth is what gives you options and security in life - something that's critical for women+.
Your parents couldn't teach you either because nobody taught them.
And so the cycle continues…
… until you put a stop to it.
Imagine if you could...
Know which investments to buy
You understand how the system works and what you need. You've chosen the right approach for your situation - with confidence, not guesswork.
Understand your investments
When you look at your statements, you know exactly what you're looking at. You no longer feel like they're written in a foreign language. No more ignoring them.
Feel genuinely excited about your financial future
You feel empowered knowing you're building a growing portfolio you understand, using simple-to-follow plan, and saving thousands of dollars in fees every year.
If you're thinking, "I want that," you're in the right place.
"Before taking the course, I truly felt that investing was something that required an expert outsider to do. I didn't understand it. I felt intimidated by it and I avoided having meetings with our 'financial planner' or even looking at statements.
Thanks to the course, I got myself all set up and I started investing!! The information from the course is, like the other financial information that Doris provides, an absolute lifeline. It increased my confidence 10,000%.
It completely changed how I think about investing and my confidence in doing it."
— Ann P., Federal employee (40s)
"Doris is an amazing coach! Her "no shame, no blame" philosophy helped put me at ease to face my finances.
I finally uncovered and released some key subconscious beliefs that had been holding me back for years. I now feel more confident about how to manage and invest my money. I highly recommend her program."
— Ann Q., Office Manager (50s)
Introducing
Investing Made Simple has helped hundreds of women build six- and seven-figure portfolios, even when they had modest incomes and had never invested before.
This isn't a course you passively watch and file away.
It's a supported, coached process that take you from feeling intimidated and overwhelmed to knowing exactly what you own, why you own it, and what to do next - at every step of the way.
Here's What Students Are Achieving:
"A couple guys in my department were having a hallway talk about investing this week... I jumped right in, contributed, discussed, debated with total confidence as a result of what I learned in Investing Made Simple. Realized I probably knew as much or more. Was an AWESOME experience.
I've also taken back control of all my investments from my former management company, saving thousands of dollars every year in the process."
"Because of the easy-to-learn skills Doris gave me, I have managed to increase my net worth over $100,000 in a 9-month period of time, over $150,000 in a 28-month period of time.
Doris set me free to earn more, gain financial confidence, and increase my net worth. I am beyond grateful."
This year, my investments will tip over from being valued at 5 figures, to 6 figures.
And by the end of the year, my net deposits will surpass 6 figures.
This is a huge milestone for me."
"I wish I hadn't waited 7 years"
Elaine had been on my mailing list for 7 years before she finally enrolled in the Investing Made Simple program. Now she says, "I wish I'd done this much, much sooner!"
She's so excited about her new skills that she sometimes finds herself reading the finance section of the newspaper - something that both shocks and amuses her.
"I really love this stuff!" she says. For the first time in her life, she's managing her own investments and saving thousands in advisor fees every years.
Meet Your Guide
Hi, I’m Doris Belland.
I’m a financial literacy educator and money coach for women based in Ottawa, Canada. I’ve helped thousands of women move past their fear of investing to finally build wealth in a simple, systematic way – regardless of their background or starting point.
In my early thirties, I was widowed and left with $400,000 of debt, which I paid off in two years. I've since built a multi-seven-figure investment portfolio using my background as a trained researcher - studying what the evidence actually shows works and building a clear, repeatable system around it.
I created Investing Made Simple to cut through the jargon, show you a proven process based on research, and give you the support you need to feel genuinely, lastingly confident about your finances and your future.
Here's what I know to be true: it doesn't matter who you are, what you know, or what your current situation is. You can become a successful investor and build a strong portfolio.
I'll show you how, in my No Shame, No Blame, No Judgement learning space.
What You'll Know and Be Able to Do
The IMS Program will take you from now knowing a thing about investing to confidently managing your own portfolio.
Here's what we cover in each of the 10 modules - and what it means for you as a Wealth Builder.
Module 1: Mindset and Goals ⭐
Module 2: Terminology, Types, and Taxation 🗂️
Module 3: Risk and Returns 📈
Module 4: Research Results 🔍
Module 5: Your Profile 👤
Module 6: Where to Buy Investments and What to Buy 🟢
Module 7: Investing Steps and Processes ⚙️
Module 8: Investment Advisors 🧩
Module 9: The Psychology of Investing 🧠
Module 10: Your Investing Blueprint and Action Plan 📋
The Difference Coaching Makes
"While the course is so helpful in setting up a solid financial foundation— Doris's coaching calls are next level.
Admittedly I was apprehensive about the expense, especially because I was joining the course with 15K of debt. How could I afford this added expense? But I quickly realized it was totally worth it, and actually helped me progress much faster towards my financial goals.
I leave every call with Doris thinking "Wow! That was exactly what I needed." She is insightful, knowledgeable, and direct, but always kind and non-judgmental.
Group coaching sessions take place bi-weekly on Tuesdays, from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm Eastern.
All sessions are recorded so you won't miss a thing regardless of your schedule or time zone.
If you know you can't attend a session and you need help with something specific, submit your question in advance and get the answer in the recording.
There are also weekly touch points through the private community forum. It's a great place to ask questions, get feedback, and share your wins.
The best part about the course
is the community.
Just imagine what it would feel like to tackle your finances and learn how to invest within a community of support…
… a group of women who get you because they’re doing the same kind of work on their finances.
Women who will cheer you on, support you through the hard times, and provide a safe space for you to talk about any part of your finances without shame, blame, or judgment.
This is one of the missing pieces for many women - and it’s more powerful than most people expect.
And because this is a women-only space, something happens here that doesn't happen in mixed rooms: women feel genuinely free to ask questions they've been sitting on for years and share their fears.
Our community of women will keep you coming back every two weeks for twelve months to share, laugh, learn, and encourage each other.
Not to be dramatic, but this is life-changing stuff.
"Being able to look at different figures, understand all of our investment vehicles better, and really understand what drives different outcomes in our planning is SOOOOO empowering.
It means no longer being vulnerable via ignorance.
It means feeling more secure about our overall financial position.
It means being equipped to plan for or make conscious, informed decisions on if/when/how to retire.
Not to be dramatic, but this is life-changing stuff.
Doris has earned her "financial fairy godmother" nickname."

This could be you ✨
"When I started the IMS Course, I was facing a difficult situation. Between all the expenses of divorcing, I found that I was just keeping my head above water financially.
I had $200k languishing in an open margin Questrade account going nowhere. I had trusted my ex with our investments (big mistake) and this account was losing money year after year.
After taking the course, I decided to take matters into my own hands and sold off my (crappy) stocks and used the proceeds to pay off my house.
I'm now living mortgage free and starting to build my savings and investments again. (Yay!) Taking ownership of my investments and making my own decisions has been a major win for me."
"Thanks to the IMS course and Doris's coaching, I was able to understand my existing investments and realize they weren't serving me.
I moved my investments, increased my TFSA and RRSP contributions to max out these accounts, and upped my pension matching contribution plan at work.
I'm feeling way more competent, confident, and in control of our money - with a plan in place."
Now I know what to do with my money.
Such a change from a decade ago, when I had very little idea on how to put my dollars to work in my best and aligned interests.....and so they got spent....
Not this time!!"
"Before doing the IMS Program, I figured it would take a lottery winning to max out my RRSP contribution room.
Since changing things up financially - thanks to Doris's coaching - I can max out my RRSP this year without changing anything, and the extra contributions can be used towards my Home Buyer repayments.
I'm stunned and pleased. Something that seemed like such a big number less than 2 years ago has been whittled down. I'm really happy with myself and my progress."

FAQ's
Question #1: “I want to take your course, but I’m not sure of my schedule. What if I can't always make the coaching calls?"
Question #2: “What if the course isn’t a fit for me. Can I get a refund?”
Question #3: “Will you help me decide which investments to buy?”
Question #4: “I really want to invest, but I have debt. What should I do?"
Question #5: "Does the course contain Canadian or American content?"
Question #6: "What if this is too complicated for me? I'm not good with numbers and I hate spreadsheets."
Question #7: "What if I don't have enough money to make this worthwhile?"
Question #8: "What if I'm too old to make this work?"
Question #9: "How is this different from watching YouTube videos or reading books about investing?"
Question #10: "I’m already working with a financial advisor. Is IMS still for me?"
Question #11: "I’ve already started investing, but I’m not sure I’m doing it right. Is IMS for me?"
"Is it Too Late for Me?"
If you're worried that it's too late for you, you're not alone.
I hear this concern from women of every age, whether they 37, 44, or 58.
The reality is that people are living longer than ever before.
In Canada, the average life expectancy for women was 84 years as of mid-2020.
Even if you're 60 today, you might live another 20 to 30+ years, depending on your health and genetics.
Just imagine what you could accomplish in two or more decades if your dollars started working for you today.
The very best time to start investing is the moment you become an adult.
The next best time, for most of us who missed that window - which is the majority of us - is today.
The Real Question Isn't Whether This Works...
It’s: how much longer will you let uncertainty keep you from the financial security you deserve?
If you don't learn how to grow your money using a proven, evidence-based approach…
… what will your life look like in twelve months?
… in ten years?
… in thirty?
Hundreds of women have faced this same choice. They enrolled, they did the work, and they’re Wealth Builders now .
They understand their money, they're building their portfolios, and they have a plan they can follow for life.
That can be you too.
You have two choices right now:
I would love to see you on the inside and welcome you into our all-women+ community. It's a genuinely special, safe space in which to grow.
