She did her reiki master training in 2014 at Healing Arts connection in Arizona.
April has also been honored to be an instructor of massage and body mechanics while running the massage clinics at her former school Blue sky and at ASIS in Prescott, Arizona.
She then rounded out her talents when she attended the southwest institute of healing arts in 2016 completing a 900 hour program of advanced yoga training, holistic nutrition, life coaching, sound healing and yoga nidra.
April has worked at many high end spas including the Four Seasons Troon North in Scottsdale, Lauberge De Sedona, Lodge Kohler in Green Bay and most recently the Ritz Carlton Highlands spa of Lake Tahoe and the spa at Martis Camp in Martis Valley in Lake Tahoe.
“I absolutely love helping people find peace, space and comfort in their body no matter what modality I am using.
Seeing my clients find relief, deep relaxation and the look on their face when they leave is my absolute favorite and is the most rewarding part of this career.
From an injury or chronic tightness to helping people relax and unwind from day to day life stress, it is a privilege for me to help people improve their quality of life in any way that I can. It truly fills my heart and my cup with joy to be able to give and be of service to others.
Slowing down in this chaotic world can be a challenge but is so necessary to our mental health and wellbeing.”
When she’s not working you can find April being active outdoors with her two dogs, paddle boarding, hiking, camping, soaking up the sun on the beach, cooking a lovely nourishing meal or just relaxing at home with a good book.
