April was born and raised in eastern North Carolina. She currently resides in a traditionally country setting with her husband, youngest child and four dogs (all boys). April enjoys cooking especially baking and spending time with her family and two toddler grandsons.

April came to Port City Power Yoga by invitation from a friend. After taking her first yoga class, unsure, but curious she decided to take another. It only took two classes before she knew this yoga thing was the practice she was looking for. Yoga teacher training came shortly there after, uncertain if she was ready, but encouraged by Katelyn, and the loving support of her husband she was a YES! April learned not only a personal yoga practice with herself on the mat, but a different way to live her life. April became a 200hr RYT April 2023. 

April is a lover of learning. She is a graduate of University of Mount Olive with a BS in Criminal Justice, and Central Michigan University with a Masters in Business and Adult Education and HRM 2015.
