About Me

Hello I am April the owner & health care provider at Weaving Wellness bodywork!

I received my Associates degree & certification in Advanced Neuromuscular medical massage therapy with 1,430 hours of education at National HoIistic Institute of massage therapy in Ontario, CA. I am also certified in Manual Lymhpatic Drainage therapy from Klose training, utilizing the vodder technique. I currently offer the Upledger 10 step protocol in Cranial-sacral therapy and will continue adding more cranial-sacral trainings in the future!

I have previously worked at many chiropractic offices locally and worked directly with clients in postural rehab, personal injury car accident patients and preventative & maintenance therapy. I had a wonderful time working at Glen Ivy hot springs for 4 years to hone in my craft and create my own personal style.

I love and appreciate the bodies natural healing ability to repair. Working with the body & mind I help encourage a state of rest and digest in your body and create space for healing. This helps facilitate improved functioning & alignment of posture by reducing soft tissue tension & fascia restrictions , increase range of motion , and support the body in all its phases whether chronic or acute conditions. My personal experience with physical exercise, healthy eating, chiropratic & acupuncture treatments motivated me to want to help others who also seek natural holistic treatments for pain management , stress relief and self-care practices.

I am a long time local of Woodcrest and have had the pleasure of raising my family in this great community!

I enjoy staying active hiking with my 2 dogs Opie & Sokka. I believe eating nutrient dense foods, movement plus weight lifting are powerful keys needed for a healthy thriving muscular-skeletal system and a calm present mind! I love cooking, baking for my family, all things herbal , being in nature, researching wellness, nutrition, spiritual growth and energy medicine!

I provide sessions for a range of musculoskeletal imbalances such as:

• Sciatica, tech neck, soft tissue tears (rotator cuff & meniscus injuries, sprained ankles) , post operation swelling (edema, Lymphedema stage 1), headaches, migraine improvements, TMJ disorder (jaw dysfunctions locking, clicking, jaw pain) hyperactive muscle activity (spasms & twitching), help support clients receiving cancer treatment, managing neurological & autoimmune disorders (fibromyalgia, parkinsons, cerebal palsy (mobile massage only), dystonia).
• We will work together as a team during your sessions to improve whole body response & immune function, with consistent verbal feedback for pressure & pain thresholds.
• Your therapeutic massage session will incorporate swedish, neuromuscular, deep tissue, shiatsu, lymphatic drainage and sports styles. CBD oil , pain cream, cupping, warm himilayan stones, scrubs may be included with most sessions, ask about these included enhancements!

I strive to provide a quiet , calm healing space for you when you're feeling overwhelmed with emotional & physical stressors, burnout from working long hours , giving care to others and all the ways we can become focused on everything but self care. 

•  Therapeutic sessions provided in studio, serving the Woodcrest, Orangecrest community of Riverside and surrounding cities. Mobile massage is available for those who have mobility concerns, my studio space is on a second floor with no elevator.
