Epilepsy Coaching is Now Available for Free

Free Epilepsy Coaching

I am thrilled to announce that Living Well With Epilepsy has received funding from Epilepsy Wellness Advocates and the Charles L. Shor Foundation which will allow me to provide 4 FREE Epilepsy Coaching sessions to 120 people in 2025.

This service is completely FREE of charge to you.

Over the past three years Living Well With Epilepsy has been working to establish Epilepsy Coaching as an important resource to the epilepsy community. And now, thanks to the team at Epilepsy Wellness Advocates and the Charles L. Shor Foundation we are able to bring you 4 sessions each free of charge. You will find details on the program below. But first let’s hear from some people who have found value in the coaching:

Testimonials

“My life has completely changed in ways I never could have imagined. The key is whether you make this a positive change or not…This is actually what led me to Jessica.  I need her to help me be the best person I can be and to learn more about my disease. Sometimes just knowing I’m not alone is all I need and that is the greatest epilepsy lesson of them all.” – Dan N.

”Working with Jessica as my epilepsy coach has been such a tremendous help. A life-line, in fact. Epilepsy is not dictating my life but it is in the back of my mind pretty much all the time. My therapist (yes, I have one of those too) reminds me that if I was taking care of a baby, of course, I wouldn’t let them get hungry, tired, hot or stressed. I would take care of them with love and care. And that is what I am learning to do for myself.” – Judi C.

Program Fee

The fee is $0.

Eligibility Requirements

• Must be living with epilepsy OR caring for someone with epilepsy
• Must be 18 or older
• Must be living in the United States

What you receive

• One 30 minute introductory call to learn more about the program.
• Four 60 minute 1:1 coaching calls to work on goals with a DBT-informed coach (me!) who is also a person living with epilepsy.
• The opportunity to work with someone who gets it and has lived with epilepsy for 4 decades
• You will be fully tapped into my network of resources

Each session will be conducted via zoom.

Your Committment

• Schedule an introductory call
• Complete a Pre-Coaching Survey

After your initial 30 minute discovery session you will be sent a link to a “Pre-Coaching” survey. You will need to complete this before your first coaching session.  This will take just 5 minutes and the information gathered will be used anonymously to create a report for the foundation. My hope is to show the importance of the coaching so this can be offered to even more people.

• Complete a Post-Coaching Survey

At your last coaching session you will be asked to complete a “Post-Coaching” survey. Again this will take just 5 minutes and the information gathered will be used anonymously to create a report for the foundation.
