Goodbye gut worries, hello life's joys.
Hi, I'm April.
Being healthy doesn’t have to be restrictive or hard – it can be joyful, fun, and full of ease. You just need to know where to start.
As a passionate functional medicine clinical nutrition practitioner and health coach, I specialize in unraveling the complexities of gut and microbiome health. I believe in a holistic approach, addressing the root causes of gut imbalances to transform your body into a harmonious, thriving system.
My mission is to empower you with science-informed frameworks and practical tools. Let's focus on what truly matters - enjoying life without the constant worry of a flare-up.
My approach is ALL about...
-
Being empowered in your health journey
-
Believing in and trusting your body’s ability to heal
-
Partnering with qualified people to co-create your healing journey
-
Getting the boring basics right before diving into expensive tests and supplements
-
Using food as medicine and following up-to-date nutrition science
-
Eating and enjoying real food for your cells AND your gut microbes
-
Addressing mindset, thoughts, beliefs, and emotions
My approach is NOT about...
-
Accepting that persistent digestive distress is “normal for you” or untreatable (even if extremely common)
-
Feeling minimized or dismissed, believing your practitioner knows more about your body than you do
-
A one-size-fits-all protocol, diet, pill, supplement, or quick-fix approach
-
Restrictive or fad diets
-
Supplementing yourself out of a bad diet, toxic thoughts, unmanaged stress or emotions, or poor sleep
-
Dogmatic nutrition philosophy, demonizing individual nutrients in food, black and white advice, or inciting food fear and unhealthy relationships with food
