April is a Colorado local who has been around plants and in nature for most of her life, but realized her passion for plant medicine while working and studying on an herb farm in Southern Oregon. She loved learning about herbs in class and then going out and working in the fields with those same herbs. After her season in Southern Oregon came to an end, she moved to Reno, Nevada, where she worked with an urban farm to build up their herbal apothecary and help create products from the plants they grew. Once this urban farm’s apothecary was up and running, April made her way back to her home state of Colorado where she started an all-natural, plant-based skin care company, AprilShowers. AprilShowers offered everything from fragrant bath bombs, to healing elderberry syrup, to skin soothing salves.
April loved creating products for AprilShowers, but knew she had a lot more to learn in the plant medicine world. So, she enrolled in Boulder’s Colorado School of Clinical Herbalism. She graduated after eight months and is now a Certified Western Herbalist. Once she graduated, April began working with Paul Murray, a graduate of Traditional Chinese Medicine and a Certified Nutritionist, to add CBD to the AprilShowers line. This new CBD-infused line was established as HealthNaturally®. April continues to formulate products to help everyone achieve Health…Naturally!
