Even on day 5 of potty training our 2 year old, and what seems like the never ending teething issues of my 8 month old, my husband and I were able to put the two of them in their playroom, step back, and just smile. They played together great, without me in the middle of them “making sure they’re being good to each other”. We just kept looking at each other, smiling, and saying This is why we are parents. And I have no doubts that these moments were due to me taking this course, slowing down, and starting to deal with my unresolved issues. So thank you, April!! ~Angie, Fort Myers, FL

My new mantra “What would April do?” ~Teri, Nashville, TN

What a journey! About week three/four of this class I was pretty much done. I really thought April was being ridiculous. I thought she had a fairytale life in FL and she didn’t really get the rest of us!!! I didn’t totally quit. I did quit making time for the homework and reading. However, I continued to listen to the recorded calls. I am quite certain that April sensed my resistence along the way. But as a professional she kept quiet. As with all change, you can either quit or push through the resistence phase until you see the other side. I finally got there just this week and what a ride it has been!!! April you are a GEM!!! For the past 10 years of my relationship I have truly hated every weekend. Reason 1: I don’t particularily like where I live. In a town of 250 people and 90 miles away from a mall or chain restaurant or civilization. Reason 2: These people I live with (kids/husband) put me in a bad mood every Sat.

Thank goodness for week 5 and my coaching call with April. They both came at the right time. So last night I got caught up on my reading and I could see how the pieces fit together. Bryan asked my what I was reading and I filled him in how I’m working on being a better wife. He was on board for that! This morning when I woke up I could just be at peace with the fact that for some reason this is where I live for now. I decided not to hate it. I also got to make my own choice of what my mood would be since April informed me this week that these people don’t decide on my mood…I do. It is a GREAT Saturday! Quite honestly the first great and peaceful Sat. since 2001!! April you are a true inspiration and I’m so appreciative of your support and kindness! Thank you also to all of you who have posted about your journey and offered support along the way. ~Megan, MN

April was a gift in my life. She helped me see things in a more positive light. She helped me look at life with a new perspective, fresh eyes & hope. I had one issue I wanted to work on, but my sessions ended up to be so much more. With April’s help & a lot of soul searching, I have changed many areas of my life. I look at things differently tha I did before. I’m now smiling on the inside as well as the outside! If you are longing for personal growth, if you want to change your life in a more positive way, or if you want to see the forest, a life coach is the answer. I couldn’t have found a more compassionate, understand, inspiring, optimistic & non-judgmental person tha April. Yes, April was my gift. ~D.O. Naples, FL

April is such a kind and inspirational woman. She is like a good friend that you’ve known forever! Her patience and directive were fabulous. I really looked forward to the book club days because it was so comforting, freeing and informative to share and listen with a great group of women! I look forward to participating in another women’s group with April again in the near future, as well as possibly working with her on an individual basis. Thank you April for your openness and gift to empower women! You were an unexpected blessing for me. ~Kristina, Village School Mom, Naples, FL

Before working with April I had a problem with getting upset too easily from frustrating obstacles in daily life, like waiting in line at a store, or the time consuming problems of coupons and computer typing when I went in to simply buy an item. During our sessions she helped me relax about these inevitable time delays. She helped me understand that being patient with myself and my loved ones results in gentler and less stressful feelings during these necessary day to day delays. I would highly recommend April because she is practical, effective, and is herself kind. I truly benefited from our work together. ~Kathy Wilson, M.D., Bonita Springs, FL

My life had become arduous and I had a particular goal I wanted to reach but felt like I was spinning wheels. I decided to consult with April to help me find my way. We embarked on a couple of consultations and April helped me identify a major obstacle in my life that was interfering with obtaining my goal. April has guided me along the way by providing me with specific tools to help me live with the obstacle. It has been a positive process which has allowed me to sit back and look at my involvement, cleanse myself, so to speak, and move forward. April has made a lifelong impression on how I lead my life. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking help with direction of their life, personally or professionally. She conducts her sessions with the utmost professionalism by being a strict confidant, listening without bias, and helps her clients discover positive solutions. ~C.K.W., Bonita Springs, FL
