Kidney Wellness Coaching Sessions

The Kidney Wellness Hub is pleased to offer FREE Kidney Wellness Coaching Sessions with coach Francine Gosselin through our pilot initiative. In this pilot, patients, their care partners or living donors may apply to free coaching sessions to support them on their wellness journey.

What Can Wellness Coaching Do For You? 

Life is a journey, not a destination. Your Kidney Wellness Coach, Francine Gosselin, can help you navigate life’s different chapters and what is important to YOU!

A coach does not tell you what your goals should be, or how you should be living your life but can help you leverage your strengths so you can live more intentionally, more in control and better able to enjoy your life. 

What’s Included? 

You start by using the Kidney Wellness Hub Companion Journal you receive when you sign up to join the Kidney Wellness Hub. Use the journal to help you identify what is important to you, set your smart goal create a plan and start tracking your progress. Already signed up to be a member but, can’t find your companion journal or need an extra copy simply email us at kidneywellnesshub@kidney.ca.to receive another copy.

Once you've established your goal, should you require some assistance or aspire to elevate your efforts, you have the opportunity to request 1-3 complimentary half-hour coaching sessions. These sessions are designed to accompany you on your path to wellbeing, assisting in pinpointing obstacles and guiding you towards a more deliberate and purposeful life.

What Can You Expect? 

When you sign up for Kidney Wellness Coaching, you can expect to be supported, encouraged, and maybe even challenged a bit. You can expect to receive thoughtful perspectives, professional insight, and intentional conversation to ignite a healthier, more connected, and more engaged YOU.

Any information you share in your private sessions with Francine is confidential between you and her and not shared with the staff of the Kidney Foundation.
