I believe in the importance of weaving love into pain processing: feeling love, learning love, untangling its gnarly interpretations. It is the absence of love that was the stage for the pain.

Welcome! I Am April Shackelford

I have created this space to place into the world what lies in my heart: a supportive, honest, safe, loving, tender space for people to transform the relationship they hold with themselves and the world around them. A place to bring people into their heart, to be lead with their heart.

I provide Soul Work and online Somatic therapy in Michigan. I have been in practice, counseling and guiding others into healing for over 18 years. I am a Shamanic Practitioner, Certified Gestational Healer & Certified Trauma Professional who has extensive experience applying the practices I use & teach to my own daily life.

I use the skills I have attained through clinical & personal practice with the advanced intuition & somatic awareness that I have developed through the years to aid in guiding others:

• To their own unique wisdom, guidance & resourcing

• To disassociated aspects of themselves that are present & running the show, yet consciously unidentified, in day-to-day life

• To dive into a deeper sense of truth in their process, to go directly to & uncover the root of the pain, cycle or symptom.

• To tune into their heart & the blocks, beliefs or conditions guarding it.

I believe that you can heal psychological, physical & emotional rupture at its root to create lasting change.

I believe that healing needs to include silliness, fun, & pleasure (I know, “weird” or maybe even, “what is that?” for my high achievers and first-born people out there)

I am ready to meet you from a grounded present

place, to bring grit & love

and get to work!!!
