I’m April Likins—Stress Coach for High-Achieving Women Running on Empty

Years ago, I lost my dad to cancer. That loss led me to the world of holistic health and healing—but after he passed, I slipped back into burnout: late nights, skipped meals, no boundaries, and non-stop work.

Eventually, my body shut down completely. I was anxious, exhausted, and barely functioning. It took years of healing and unlearning the habits that got me there.

Now, I help other high-achieving women avoid the same costly path—and reclaim their energy, peace, and joy. I know firsthand how powerful it is to have someone in your corner.

Years ago, I lost my father to an aggressive cancer. In that heartbreak, I threw myself into research—into why this happened and how we could fight back—ultimately helping to prolong his life. That’s how I discovered the world of epigenetics and holistic health. 

But after he died, I slipped back into my old habits—busyness, overworking, and chasing productivity. I often worked past midnight, skipped meals, pushed through exhaustion, and sacrificed sleep in the name of performance. Eventually, my body hit its limit and everything came crashing down—triggering a full-blown health collapse that forced me to stop and reevaluate every part of my life.

I was burned out, anxious, and barely functioning—struggling with my health in ways I could no longer ignore. It took years of healing, support, and unlearning the patterns that had pushed me past my limits. That’s exactly why I’m so passionate about helping other women avoid the costly mistakes—and the years of exhaustion and devastation—I went through.

 know from my own experience how powerful it is to have an advocate and health coach on your side. Using my personal experience and compassion, my greatest desire is to help people who feel “stuck” regain their lives.

If you feel like you're constantly pushing but never catching up—like you’re “successful” but secretly falling apart—I want you to know: there’s a better way.

I work with high-performing women who feel stuck, stressed, and overwhelmed. Women who are secretly wondering, “Is this just how life is now?” It’s not.

You don’t have to sacrifice your health for your career, or keep pretending everything’s fine. You don't have to do this alone.

I help women just like you reset their nervous systems, rewire how they respond to stress, and build lives that feel calm, energizing, and fulfilling again. I believe you were made to thrive—not just function. With the right support, you can learn to manage stress in a sustainable way, sleep better, set stronger boundaries, and wake up feeling like yourself again.

Thanks for being here. I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey to less stress, more energy, and a life you truly enjoy.

With much love,
