“My mission is to educate and uplift those with kidney disease. Through Kidney Coach, I help people understand their bodies, shift their mindset, and create real change using holistic, proven strategies.”
Fiona is a Kidney Coach lead writer and fully qualified Naturopath with a Bachelor’s degree in health science. She has been in clinical practice for over 20 years, working in the USA, Canada and Australia.
She specializes in those diagnosed with neurological autoimmune conditions, longevity medicine, and chronic kidney disease. She co-founded Kidney Coach, which provides programs and education to empower those diagnosed with CKD, and KYGENESIS®, a supplement range designed for those diagnosed with kidney disease. She also hosts a podcast on YouTube called The Kidney Coach, a health channel dedicated to supporting those with all types of CKD.
Fiona was Australia’s first qualified Wahls practitioner, which uses scientifically proven dietary interventions to improve the outcomes for those diagnosed with autoimmune conditions. She has also undertaken post-graduate training in peptide therapy. She was also asked to be the lead author of a Springer Nature medical text on “Integrative Strategies for Those Diagnosed with Kidney Disease”, which is currently with the editors before printing in late 2025. She was also a key presenter at the Post-Viral Symposium for Long-Haul Covid in late 2024.
She worked alongside world-renowned neuroscientists and researchers when she worked for Dr. Joe Dispenza, who is rewriting the science around what is possible with meditation, the human mind and the body’s ability to heal.
When Fiona isn’t running KYGENESIS® and Kidney Coach, seeing patients, or recording podcasts, you will probably find her researching the latest breakthroughs in treatment for CKD, spinal cord injuries or other complex chronic conditions. If she isn’t doing that, she will be playing with her Dobermann Apollo.
