Functional Wellness for the Whole Family
When was the last time you:
- Were at your ideal weight?
- Felt well-rested, energetic, focused, productive, or youthful?
- Were free of pain, discomfort, or symptoms?
I am here to help.
- Do you develop new symptoms every year?
- Is it hard for you to lose weight?
- Have you had a health challenge that you have never solved?
- Do you have a concern with blood pressure, blood sugar or cholesterol increasing?
- Are you tired of seeing doctors who tell you "all your labs are normal" when you know something is amiss?
- Have you seen multiple practitioners and everyone's viewpoint is different?
- Do you want to avoid medications/work at reducing medications?
Meet April
Despite being in the nutrition and wellness space for over 20 years, I started to develop multiple symptoms like weight gain, skin issues, fatigue, disordered sleep, lowered libido, headaches, worsening PMS symptoms, bloating, muscle aches, heart palpitations, and moodiness. And that's not even the complete symptom list!
I constantly thought "how can I be so knowledgeable about how eat and live healthily but somehow be regressing in my own health?"
I even ended up in the ER. Twice. The first time I thought I was having a heart attack (clammy, dizzy, shallow breathing, pain) and the second time was with extreme heart palpitations and labored breathing.
I knew my heart was healthy, which was confirmed by cardiac follow ups, so I then asked if perhaps my thyroid was off. I was told it was likely stress because all my lab-work was "within normal limits.” But my gut told me something was wrong. And I was right.
Who Can I Help?
THE ENTIRE FAMILY
WOMEN
While I specialize in
the
over-40-busy-mom-and/or-professional with a one-way ticket on the HOT MESS EXPRESS, I have a passion to help full families achieve wellness. The truth is, if I can help a woman achieve her ideal weight and optimize her health, she will pay it forward to everyone in her sphere.
MEN
Is your energy, focus or vitality lower? Do you have a harder time gaining muscle, even if you work out?
We joke that you men can seem like you're on your deathbed when you have a “man-cold,” but the truth is that most of you work hard yet don't take preventative care of yourselves. The result is your declining health and level of fitness.
Hormone imbalances and gut dysbiosis can accelerate your aging and put you at higher risk for cancers, diabetes, autoimmune issues and heart disease. But these things are also the main contributors to excess body fat, low energy levels, waning libido, and less productivity.
My goal is to prevent or reverse these conditions. By identifying specific areas that need support you can feel like a stronger, healthier, and younger version of yourself - symptom-free.
KIDS
We will do anything to help them be safe, happy and healthy yet how many kids do you know who experience anxiety, depression, ADHD, weight gain, early maturation, eczema, psoriasis, acne, autoimmune issues, allergies, asthma, and diabetes?
If caught young, their health challenges can be corrected so they can be put on a trajectory of great health now and in their future. So many times, I see kids being only prescribed meds when targeted therapies to balance their gut and simple diet changes can create incredible improvements.
Your body also has the innate ability to heal itself if given the right environment.
Using functional lab testing to find healing opportunities, I create comprehensive customized protocols to help your body find balance.
I can work with you independently, or alongside any traditional health professional, to find solutions for you and your family so you can experience a level of wellness you may never have thought possible.

Functional Lab Testing
Functional lab testing helps evaluate how well your body is (or isn't) functioning on a spectrum of health rather than just diagnosing a disease. It is empowering to gain this knowledge, but it is life-changing when you know how to take action to correct it.
That's what I do.
Our medical community often fails us, but it isn’t their fault.
Most traditional doctors or healthcare providers receive only 6 hours of nutrition in school. They are trained in diagnosing disease states and using a toolbox or surgery and medication to address the disease states they find.
Very often, you may not be sick enough for them to identify what is wrong with you. But why wait until you have cancer, diabetes, or other diseases before you focus on getting well?
The absence of sickness does not mean you are well.
Eating well is fundamental to good health
Recipe Favorites
From energy-packed breakfasts to lunches and dinners that keep you burning fat, there's plenty of options to satisfy everyone's palate.
While I customize meal plans for all my clients that may include animal products, you will find these favorites to be predominantly plant-based.
Supplements That Deliver
High Quality Supplements
After years of being frustrated with over-priced supplements that lacked quality ingredients, I invested time researching top quality ingredients, manufacturers, and supplements that truly work. I utilize FullScript and Wellevate for brands for my targeted therapies. I use other manufacturers for complimentary nutraceuticals.
Though supplementation should be customized, I've created a list of my TOP PICKS based on their superior quality and results that can be seen.
