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 health and nutrition 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...

  • 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, and inciting food fear and unhealthy relationships with food
