Kidney Wellness Coaching
Working with a kidney wellness coach will help you determine what is getting in your way and how to leverage your strengths so you are more in control and able to make healthier lifestyle choices.
Kidney 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.
Health Benefits
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). Normally priced at $50 to $200 per hour, these sessions are free through 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.
