April holds a Master of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine from Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts and came to Chinese Medicine by way of an unlikely path — a prior career in natural resource management, where she spent years working to preserve the health and diversity of public lands.

April works with a wide range of conditions including pain, insomnia, anxiety, headaches, and migraines, with a special focus on women’s health. She’s known for creating a treatment space where people feel genuinely heard.
