Testimonials

  • April delivered a real, authentic session that really gets to the roots of why physicians have trouble healing – she faces the spots we balk at head on and offers insightful, open, and meaningful interaction to help everyone find their own version of wellness. It was appreciated by a wide range of female PICU physicians, junior to senior, with everyone taking something away to consider as they focus on their own wellness while working within pediatric critical care. Fantastic session!

  • “I am so grateful to have had the opportunity for one-on-one coaching with April. She is kind, thoughtful and nonjudgmental. She creates a safe environment for sharing which optimizes the coaching sessions leading to an experience that is both nurturing and personal. Meeting with April feels natural and comfortable. The sessions encouraged self-reflection on both personal and professional strengths and goals and will have a lasting impact on my life both inside and outside the bounds of PICU and medicine. Coaching with April expanded my ability to grow within my PICU profession while respecting the importance of “me” as well.”

  • “Dr. Elliott, your thoughtful expose and questions posed on vulnerability and post-vulnerability hangover are very profound. The recognition of vulnerability as courage is a big leap in becoming a trusted leader, not only in showing our humanity but also in demonstrating our empathy. Thank you very much for such an enjoyable post, and don’t stop writing.”

  • “I reached a point in my career where I felt lost. Without even knowing what Coaching could offer me, I contacted April to inquire. This first step was the best thing I have done for myself. April has a gift in her ability to create a warm and open holding environment, which allowed me to grow on my own personal journey. She holds an energy that is calming, inspiring and infectious, that she radiates through her presence and demeanor. Throughout my coaching sessions, I developed a renewed sense of self, purpose and fulfilment.”

  • “I have known April for around 10 years. As she was starting her journey with becoming a coach, I got the privileged to be one of her first clients. It was perfect timing for me as I was going through a difficult period in my life. April and I had some very inspiring and thought-provoking conversations. The conversations helped me realize how to bring out my authentic self. To this day I am grateful for her guidance and kindness as she listened to me without judgment and helped me be ok with some of the decisions I made. April is an inspirational person and a gifted Coach. She helped me see how to look at my difficult decisions in a positive light and gave me the motivation to ride the ups and downs in life.”
