Kidney Wellness Coaching

$0.00

Kidney wellness coaching can improve both physical and mental health through sustainable lifestyle changes, and to support the kidney community, the Kidney Wellness Hub is pleased to provide up to three sessions with coach Francine (bio below). In Canada, wellness coaching can range from $50-$200 an hour, but the Wellness Hub is offering free sessions with cost coverage by the Kidney Foundation and partners.

Clinical trials and studies show wellness coaching can have a significant impact on reducing risk factor behaviours and increasing healthy lifestyle choices for those with chronic disease. Results also show these changes improve quality of life through increased self-efficacy, a decrease in perceived stress levels, and lowered depression symptoms*. Patients, care givers and living donors are encouraged to apply for this opportunity.

Details on how to schedule an introductory consultation will be sent via email.

What Is Wellness Coaching?

Many of us struggle to navigate health challenges or care recommendations. While wanting something to change, we can often lack a clear plan to achieve our wellness goals.

Working with a kidney wellness coach can help you determine what is getting in your way and how to leverage your strengths so you feel more in control and able to make healthier lifestyle choices. A coach does not tell you what your goals should be, but helps you identify them and develop a path to achieving them.

If you need a little encouragement and support from someone who understands kidney disease, then kidney wellness coaching might be a good fit for you. Information shared in private sessions is confidential. 

What Participants Had to Say

“I feel that the coaching is a valuable resource that every kidney patient and caregiver could benefit from. These are hard times and even harder when faced with kidney disease. The Wellness Coaching is a breath of fresh air and a guiding light to be your better self, one step at a time.”

“I already had a good plan in place, the coaching helped me put into perspective the behaviours to help cope if you don’t make your goals because you don’t have a good day for example. Helped me to learn how to regroup and pick it up the next day and don’t be so hard on myself...” ​
