About April

Hi, I’m April - a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Exercise Physiologist specializing in sports nutrition, performance fueling, and evidence-based nutrition for everyday health. I help people simplify nutrition, boost energy, and build habits that support better health - without extremes or confusion. I’ve worked with Border Patrol Special Forces, the military, Olympic athletes, ultramarathoners, and CrossFit/HYROX competitors. My greatest joy, though, comes from helping everyday people - busy parents, professionals, and anyone who wants to feel stronger, healthier, and more confident in their body. I work with adults of all activity levels and health backgrounds, including those managing diabetes, cholesterol, blood pressure, weight concerns, digestive issues, and fatigue. I also help active individuals - or those who want to be - learn how to fuel for performance and recovery. Together, we’ll create a plan that fits your goals and your real life.

Approach to care

Nutrition should make life easier, not harder. I don’t believe in rigid rules, off-limit food lists, or quick fixes. Instead, we focus on building balanced, sustainable habits that fit your schedule and preferences. My approach is evidence-based, practical, and supportive - with clear guidance so you understand what you’re doing and why. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s something that actually works.

Your first session with April

Your first session is all about understanding your full picture. We’ll talk through your goals, health history, daily habits, and training (if applicable), along with what has or hasn’t worked for you in the past. From there, I’ll help you identify what’s not working - and give you clear, realistic steps you can start right away. You’ll leave with a plan that fits your life and a roadmap for long-term progress. You’ll leave with clear, realistic steps you can start right away and a roadmap for long-term progress. My style is direct but supportive - I’ll explain the “why” behind recommendations so you’re not just following rules, but building the knowledge and confidence to make nutrition easier for life.

Hobbies

When I’m not seeing clients, I love cooking, lifting weights, and trail/road running. Currently training for a Taco Bell 50k, because why not? I also spend a lot of time with my two teenagers - so I understand how busy life can get and why simple, sustainable nutrition strategies matter most.
