Cameron Lillie-Liberto — Patient Experience Consultant & Speaker
Bringing lived dialysis experience into healthcare spaces — to improve care, connection, and outcomes.
ABOUT ME
I was born with a rare condition that caused kidney failure early in life, leading to years of surgeries, dialysis as a teenager, and ultimately a kidney transplant that lasted fourteen years. That lived experience gave me an intimate understanding of what it means to grow up inside the medical system—and how deeply care, communication, and compassion impact a patient’s life.
After my transplant, I chose to return to healthcare professionally. I worked as an in-center hemodialysis technician, a home dialysis technician, and later as a Kidney Care Options Educator. In every role, my focus was the same: listening to patients, helping them understand their options, and bringing humanity into spaces that can often feel clinical and overwhelming.
In 2023, my transplanted kidney rejected, and I returned to dialysis. Re-entering life as a patient—after years of working in dialysis—clarified my purpose even more. It highlighted the gap that often exists between clinical care and lived experience, and the powerful impact that patient-centered understanding can have on outcomes, trust, and quality of life.
Today, I work as a Patient Experience Consultant and Speaker, partnering with healthcare organizations and dialysis teams to bring real patient insight into professional spaces. I help teams better understand what life on dialysis is actually like—and how care can be delivered in ways that honor the full human experience, not just the diagnosis.
“The only way to deal with this life meaningfully is to find one's passion and purpose in the midst of struggle.”
— Viktor Frankl

Coaching Support (For Patients)
Living on dialysis can feel isolating, overwhelming, and exhausting—especially when it feels like everyone is focused on the medical side and not on you. My coaching is designed to support the emotional, mental, and day-to-day realities of life on dialysis, guided by lived experience and understanding.
This work isn’t about “fixing” you or forcing positivity. It’s about having a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported as you navigate life on dialysis—at your own pace.
COACHING PLANS
My coaching is personalized to each individual and their unique experience living on dialysis. Support and pricing vary based on the level of care, frequency, and type of coaching, and most people begin with a conversation to understand what support would feel most helpful.
If you’re interested in exploring coaching, I’d be happy to talk through options and see what might be a good fit for you.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Here is what people are saying about The Dialysis Mindset:
When my husband started dialysis he felt lost and defeated. Cameron changed everything. with his own experience as a dialysis patient, and a transplant recipient, he gave clear, compassionate guidance on everything dialysis.
But more than that, he showed that life does not stop with dialysis. Cameron talked about travel, daily routine and staying hopeful. His support made all the difference during one of the hardest times in life.
Elizabeth
Wow! Cameron is informative but I was mostly drawn in because he is so frank and unreserved. Cameron is very relatable. I really hope more dialysis patients speak with him. It would help so many others to talk about what they are going through.
Tanya
What an incredibly powerful and inspiring person. Cameron's passion for making a difference in the lives of dialysis patients is truly commendable. By sharing his story and experiences, he empowered myself to realize my potential and embrace a positive mindset. Your message of resilience and the power of mindset can transform lives, not only those dealing with dialysis but anyone facing challenges.
