As a peace scholar committed to non-violence, I focus primarily peacebuilding and conflict resolution, including but not limited to anti-racism, inter-religious dynamics, interfaith dialogue, community development, decolonization, and non-violent communication. Routinely, I offer learning opportunities to gather in groups to creatively engage in this work with synergy and accountability. Follow me on social media or reach out to me for further details.Â
In my work with individuals, I specialize in healing trauma with creative expression, spiritual counseling, dreamwork, guided journaling, and co-creative ceremonies. I am open to serving people of any faith, or none, especially those who are recovering from religious trauma. My work is radically inclusive and intersectional. I affirm and support LGBTQIA individuals and their families, myself among them.
I also work with youth and am vetted through several youth-focused organizations to facilitate youth groups, along with the internationally-recognized Youth Mental Health First Aid Certification. Currently, my work with youth is focused on transgender affirming support groups through TENI.
I am always thrilled to offer extra special, ultra-creative bespoke ceremonies for all of life’s events: weddings, blessings, funerals, and rites of passage. I even conduct public rituals for civic festivals and community acknowledgements, including vivid costumes and engaging performance art. Please feel free to inquire directly.
Booking a first-time introductory Q&A session on Zoom is free and comes with no obligation. In addition to online guidance, I also offer 1-on-1 spiritual guidance, counselling, and accompaniment in offices in either Tallow and Dungarvan in West Waterford, Ireland. All in-person appointments are subject to my going rate.

I had been a little stunted in my growth & also frozen & resistant to opening myself because of certain traumas & unresolved issues which needed to come out into the light & be processed. April created a safe & sacred container for me to live & do the work in so that I could be vulnerable, expressive & truthful without fear of judgement so that together we could face what had been hidden and suppressed.
The path of healing is ongoing for all of us, it is the exact same distance as the path of living…and so to say we get fully mended from any Practice would be a lie, however, the value in April’s Spiritual Counselling… is in the simple fact that I feel better, I am more able to be authentically me and I am integrating & assimilating much more of life’s medicine than I was able to before the container.
I highly recommend working with April… loving, professional & deeply respectful.
I \’ve worked with April throughout the decades and in many capacities and I must say that her enthusiasm for creativity and life blends really well with her grounded and loving presence as well as her wise and listening spirit. April made me feel understood, accepted and very comfortable sharing my heart and my fears and at the same time helped bring many aspects of me out that supported my intention of healing the creative and feminine sides of me. One of them being my ability to write children\’s stories where I get to enjoy the most and came \’out of nowhere\’. She brings love to what she does well and holds space like no other. Thank you for being such a great mentor, friend and more to me, Reverend.
