April is AMAZING!!! I first had the opportunity to connect with her for a friend's wedding. I had…read morenever done a reiki session before and she guided me through the entire experience beautifully. I literally left floating and also with a sense of peace and guidance with some very balanced chakras. If you're wondering about a virtual sessions with her, she's just as impactful. I did work with her recently virtually and still the same effects. You're so talented, April!!! Xoxo

First, I should say I can be a skeptic. I got the session with April as a gift and I had reiki…read morebefore but not with April and I've always enjoyed it but...I'm more in the camp of I "want to believe" than I totally believe. Her practice is a home based practice- parking easy, peasy. Her place has great light and energy I felt totally in the vibe- bonus her dog is the coolest cutest thing. The treatment room has a rainbow crystal healing bed that looked too cool to be true. I don't know but, I feel all kinds of good things moving. It was a wild experience. So it was rainbow and did rad things! April is very grounded yet, open. Her energy is positive yet, not perky. She's not too new age-y. Look she's booked for weeks in advance, I feel super charged afterwards and I'll admit it I'm kinda a believer so...yeah go!

There were snacks and it was such a welcoming atmosphere. The kadampa meditation center is very relaxing and the moment I entered I felt at peace.

Then a short guided relaxation meditation along with chanted meditation/prayers for world peace. The class is about an hour long with everything included. After everyone stays to enjoy pancakes or waffles. Each week is a different flavor of topping and they alternate between waffles or pancakes. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming and I've had some really great conversations and made some amazing new friends here. The cost of the class is by donation and $5 for the pancakes. It's a great way to enjoy a peaceful Sunday morning with friends and family in a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. The prayers begin at 10:30 and brunch is served around 11:30. I've been several times now and always had an enjoyable experience; I highly recommend it.
