Hello! I'm April Eichhorn

Your ally in healing, connecting to your inner knowing, and bringing  your beautiful intentions to life! 

  At 18, I became a devoted student of somatics, psychology, movement, and an explorer of our body-mind-spirit-earth relationship. 

​

Over the past 20+ years of working with people, I’ve experienced time and time again that when you invite your logical, problem-solving mind to take a back seat, and open your perception to truly be present to your experience in your body, it acts like a compass, willing to show you what you need to heal, as well as next steps towards what you’d like to create.

​

​I believe that making the time to listen to and experience yourself in this way is one of the greatest gifts of change  you can offer yourself, as it allows what might be outside of your awareness in day-to-day life to become conscious for us to work with.

 

I see people make progress every day in all sorts of ways such as, getting to the root of challenging experiences in their bodies, relationships or lives, creating healthier habits and boundaries that are uplifting, and taking the next steps towards new jobs, relationships and passions.  â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹

I also learned that a safe and supportive container, skillfully held by another person, is invaluable. Yes, you can do good work independently, (and I will encourage you to do so), but having another person there with you, helps you go deeper, stay with things that you might not on your own, and expand what’s possible for you.​

​

And on a more personal note....

​

From the time I was a kid, it was like I had a natural magnet inside of me, drawing me towards people who seemed superb at supporting others. I remember being enrolled in soccer as a kid and quickly realizing I had little interest in playing soccer, but I loved watching the coaches and parents cheering on!

 

I knew, no matter what I did in life, I wanted to be one of the really good supporters- kind, insightful, dependable, enthusiastic, empowering, and ever- believing in the potential of the person in front of me.   

 

I discovered that supporting others through difficult times, seeing them grow, and move forward as kinder, freer and more empowered people, felt essential to who I was. Long story short, I’ve followed that thread throughout my life and have continuously studied how to show up better, with more skills to bring to the table.

 

I've found a particular home in a somatic (body-centered), trauma-informed and attachment focused style of working together. Somatic Experiencing®, Dynamic Attachment Repatterning Experiences, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, Inner Relationship Focusing and Eco-Therapy are approaches that I've trained in and are most influential to me.

 

These are also the approaches that have been most helpful and inspiring to me, personally. I offer them with great heart and appreciation for their innovators and those I've learned from, as they feel like some of the best gifts I've received. 

 

I’d be honored to support you along your own unique journey and see your beautiful intentions come to life!  I look forward to meeting you and hope to be an ally on your journey!
