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.

Rachel is a degree-qualified Naturopath and Nutritionist with almost a decade of clinical experience specialising in kidney health, gut function, immune support, children's wellbeing, and emotional health. 

As a certified MINDD practitioner and FITGENES trained professional, she brings an evidence-based approach to her practice while honouring traditional naturopathic principles. Outside of clinical practice, Rachel serves as the secretary of the General Council and Register of Naturopaths, the oldest Naturopathic organisation in the UK. Rachel is passionate about collaborating with colleagues, furthering the advancement of naturopathic medicine.

At the core of Rachel's practice is a wellness-centred model of healthcare that shifts away from conventional sick-care management. She understands that very few people are living at their optimum level of wellness, with many suffering from commonplace health conditions such as fatigue, depression, and allergies. Rachel believes these conditions should not be accepted as inevitable aspects of being human but rather as signs of a body living out of balance. She has come to understand that many health challenges stem from our disconnection from our bodies and our innate state of balance.

Her expertise lies in identifying the root causes underlying health concerns, with particular emphasis on the profound connection between emotional and physical wellbeing. This understanding informs her personalised treatment protocols, which combine nutritional science, lifestyle medicine, and natural remedies tailored to each individual.

"I believe that our bodies have an innate capacity to heal when given the right conditions," Rachel explains. "My role is to help identify the obstacles to healing and provide the tools for sustainable wellness."

One of Rachel’s true passions is being a mother to her three children and three fur babies (dogs). She enjoys the peace of being in nature and loves nothing better than a walk in the woods. 

A forever student at heart, she continuously expands her knowledge of the intricate relationship between physical health and emotional wellbeing through ongoing education and research. Rachel works collaboratively with patients to develop practical health strategies that honour their unique circumstances and goals, empowering them with the knowledge and support needed for their health and wellbeing journey. 

With qualifications in both Naturopathy and Nursing, I bring a unique perspective to health and healing — one that bridges the gap between conventional medicine and holistic care. After completing my nursing degree in 2005 and working in an acute care hospital, I began to realise that while we were treating disease, we often weren’t getting to the root cause of it. That realisation led me to study naturopathy and embrace a more integrated, person-centred approach to health.

At KidneyCoach I work behind the scenes in customer service — supporting our community by answering emails, assisting with supplement inquiries, and helping people feel informed, heard, and confident in their next steps. It’s a privilege to be part of a company that empowers individuals to take control of their kidney health through education, natural therapies, and practical tools.

In addition to my clinical training, I’m also a Reiki and EFT practitioner and have a deep interest in the mind-body connection — how our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs can influence our physical health. I believe healing involves the whole person, not just the diagnosis, and that even small shifts in thinking can create powerful changes in wellbeing.

Stephanie, a compassionate holistic health coach, has navigated a profound journey of healing and transformation. Her path has been marked by significant challenges, including childhood adversities (ACEs), an eating disorder, autoimmune complications, kidney failure necessitating years of dialysis, and the emotional turbulence of heartbreak and a failed relationship. Her resilience was further tested by declining health and two organ transplants. At her lowest point, Stephanie even experienced a near-death event that reshaped her perspective on life.

Stephanie's focus is to initiate and hold space for self healing and inner transformation. She has  spent over 25 years in the dual role of healing practitioner, (as a yogi and naturopath), and experiencer as a patient. Her awakening occurred in 2006 and amplified exponentially in 2015.

She knows fully the consequences of living in fear and unconscious mental patterns. She has learned to walk between worlds of eastern and western traditions while advocating for holistic interrelating, self healing and modern implementation process in the West. She has experienced and acknowledges her spiritual awakening and integration process were as if not more challenging than years in kidney failure and living on dialysis. She embodies what it takes to alchemize our mental shadows while facing complexity, while holding space for our true nature to compassionately emerge. 

In her personal work, she introduces and guides organizing principles related to coincidentia oppositorum." This was an important principle in Platonic philosophy and metaphysics. The union of opposing inner forces via tailored processes such as hemi-sync, initiation and trauma integration, seeing and guiding to break complex mental patterns, polarity mentorship, relationship evolution,  and the spiritualization process into our new era of conscious awareness that's rooted in a healthy self aware mind and regenerated heart.
