Meet April: A Legacy of Light
My journey into the metaphysical world began before I even took my first breath - nurtured in the sacred bond I share with my mother, Judith. Our connection has always been something beyond the physical, woven from the wisdom of lifetimes and rooted in unconditional love.
​
After earning my degree in Criminal Justice from Western Illinois University in 1987, I officially joined my mother's thriving practice. From day one, simply being in her daily presence was an education all its own - one that no classroom could have ever provided. Her guidance, her energy, her knowing - it all became the foundation of my own path.
​
Over the years, I expanded my studies across many modalities, earning a Counseling degree and ultimately specializing as an Addiction therapist. I am a Reiki Master. Thru Healing, transformation, and intuitive connection became the heartbeat of my work - and they remain so today.
​
In every card reading I offer, therapy is woven naturally into the experience. I believe in nurturing the whole self: mind, heart, and spirit. My readings are intuitive first and foremost - each message received is filtered through daily intuitive practice, heartfelt intention, and deep listening. I often work with an Inner Child Deck, which has proven to be a profound guide in helping clients reconnect to their most authentic, tender selves.
​
For nearly three decades, I was blessed to share weekends with my mother at Bristol Renaissance Faire - arriving before the sun and often staying until the stars claimed the sky. Those were sacred hours spent learning not just through study, but through being - absorbing, growing, and becoming.
​
Today, I am honored to walk alongside you, blending therapeutic insight with intuitive wisdom, helping you uncover the light, strength, and answers already within you. It is a true blessing to share this work - a continuation of a story that began long before words.
​
I can't wait to walk with you.
