Hi, I’m Aypril (she/her).

Human Design 5/2 Projector, LAX of Masks 2: I help you identify and shed conditioned roles, allowing you to confidently embrace your true self with practical solutions and profound insight.

Who Am I?

I'm a mom and wife who deeply values freedom of choice and authentic self-expression, and I tend to attract clients who also value freedom and push against societal norms. I am insatiably curious and love helping people unlock their potential, live authentically, and embrace the parts of themselves they’ve been criticized for or are afraid to show. I enjoy working with individuals who want to live life on their terms and are willing to explore their inner landscape to evolve from where they are to where they want to be in all stages of life.

Why Chronic Illness Coaching?

Supporting people with chronic illness is close to my heart due to its prevalence in my family's story. I’ve witnessed how it can rob one of life's joys, but I firmly believe it doesn’t have to. While life may change, it's possible to find joy and purpose even in the midst of chronic illness. If you're open to it, I can help you uncover that joy and find purpose again.

Why End-of-Life Coaching?

Becoming a Death Doula and End-of-Life Coach was a deeply personal decision. As a child, I vividly recall my great-grandmother being buried against her wishes. This experience instilled in me a strong desire to ensure that others have their end-of-life wishes honored. I want to help individuals put their wishes into writing and effectively communicate them with their families. Additionally, having seen many struggle to support their loved ones in their final stages of life, I understand the importance of having someone to turn to for guidance and support during such challenging times.

How am I qualified to help you?

I hold certifications as an ICF-certified Life and Grief Coach, Human Design Specialist, Death Doula, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, and Ordained Minister. With over a decade of experience working with clients in a holistic private practice and a decade assisting in conventional medicine, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to your sessions. I am also the author of two Human Design books, which you can find on Amazon or ask your local bookshop to order for you.

Why do I do this work?

My passion stems from a deep desire to prevent anyone from reaching the end of their life feeling compromised, unfulfilled, or regretting what they didn’t do. I believe true living involves being authentically yourself and not merely existing for others.

I am no stranger to grief and loss in its many forms and the juxtaposition of joy and grief in the same breath. There have been plenty of times I’ve held myself back from opportunities because of fear, but when I’ve felt the fear and done it anyway, I’ve either been happy with the outcome or proud of myself for trying, and I love helping find their courage, too.

I’ve grieved people I love, identities I’ve held, injuries, traumas, and more, and I still have an optimistic outlook, but that doesn’t mean I don’t feel the pain of those losses. I just choose to have more positives than negatives. I look for what works rather than what doesn’t–most of the time. I’m human, after all. I still believe in the good in people and know that tomorrow can always be better than today and today better than yesterday if we want it to be.

In my early thirties, during my Saturn return, I experienced burnout and a loss of self-identity while trying to navigate marriage and motherhood (joy and loss). I realized I had not taken the time to grieve the shifts in my life's roles and had lost touch with my authentic self. Through personal growth and exploration, including the invaluable insights of Human Design, I rediscovered myself and my path. This journey has become my life's mission: to help guide others back to themselves, to feel like the creator of their lives, and to find or understand their life’s purpose.

Having coached hundreds of clients in thousands of sessions, I bring a wealth of personal and professional experience to guide you. Together, we can work to help you shift from a life of simply doing to one of purposeful living.

I believe that the only time wasted is the time spent wishing for a different past. What hasn't worked isn't a waste; it's a lesson. Let's embrace those lessons together as we journey towards a more fulfilling and purposeful future.
