April moved to Cody, Wyoming in October 2015 and is thrilled to continue her massage practice at Rocky Mountain Wellness Connections. Before moving to Cody, April worked in San Francisco, California as part of a team of health practitioners at Embrace Health. Her clients have included those looking for a relaxing spa-style massage, athletes preparing for competition, construction workers healing an injury, and even some with delicate medical conditions including pre-natal, cystic fibrosis, and a variety of post-surgery needs.

April holds a Bachelor's Degree in Public Communication and has more than 1000 hours of massage specific and health related training in order to maintain her Certified Massage Therapist qualifications in the state of California. For the first 15 years of her working life, April was in public relations and marketing for the high-tech world of Silicon Valley. Having lived and worked under those pressures, her career change to massage therapy came with a passion for understanding stress management. She now enjoys talking with her clients about their stresses and its effects including anxiety, insomnia, digestion problems, irritability and more. April can provide guidance and education about the latest science behind the effects of stress and how you can better manage your day-to-day pressures.

Absolutely fixed my lower back problem

April has been part of my wellness program since moving to Cody in 2017. The stress of a move, new job and then surgery recovery - she's been more than just a wellness program for me! Her care and concern for physical, mental, and emotional well being go beyond the time she spends in the appointment. Thankful, grateful for her skills!

I enjoyed the music, it was relaxing and upbeat. She took time to explain what she was doing and suggested ways to take care of myself.
