"Dr. April Graham is a wonderful doctor, extremely knowledgable and encouraging. If like me you are getting back into triathlons and want to stay pain free or you are a seasoned athlete/triathlete and looking for additional support, you need to have her on your care team. Finding a naturopathic doctor who specializes in both exercise physiology and hormone balance = amazing! I would highly recommend her to anyone!"

"I saw Dr. April for a few sessions after dealing with fatigue, anxiety, and digestive issues. She is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and helped me tremendously. I had bloodwork done, went on some supplements (only a couple! nothing crazy), took a homeopathic remedy, and she guided me through some talk therapy. My anxiety greatly improved after just the first session, and the other issues resolved as well. She is amazing! As a health care professional myself, I can be somewhat picky about who I choose as my physician, and I'm so glad I chose to see her."

"I only had the opportunity to see Dr. April twice before she moved to Colorado, but was completely impressed with her knowledge and helpful, caring manner. Her attentive listening and obvious empathy was very refreshing. Her professional manner and extensive knowledge is impressive. Her follow up and obvious concern about the patients she was leaving behind is appreciated as she provided referrals and video conferencing options to ensure we're taken care of. Our loss is Colorado's gain!"

"I’ve had extreme back pain that radiated down my right leg for a year. The pain kept me up at night and made it difficult to be the active mom I was designed to be. After literally trying EVERYTHING, I went and saw April for facial manipulation. After the FIRST treatment, my pain improved about 90%. For the first time in a long time I slept through the night, PAIN FREE!
April is more than just a miracle worker, she is kind and passionate at what she does. Be prepared to feel your best. Thank you April!!!"

"Dr. April is absolutely the best. She integrates many facets of expertise and knowledge into her practice, and truly listens and takes her time, something I have found to be pretty rare in "traditional western medicine." The fascial manipulation work is fascinating and amazingly effective too. Don't think twice, see Dr. April!"

"I’ve always considered myself a generally healthy person. I understand the basics of nutrition—calories in vs. calories out—and have prioritized movement in my daily life through strength training, running, or cycling. But like many of us, I struggled with weight gain during COVID and had a hard time shedding it, despite my best efforts.
Working with Dr. April at Āvra Health (formerly Blue Heron) was a total game-changer. Through her personalized approach, she analyzed my genetics and gave me clear, science-backed guidance on exactly what to eat and how to train—not just for weight loss, but for longevity and inflammation prevention. I lost about 20 pounds in just three months, and now, seven months later, I’m still maintaining that loss and feeling better than ever.
One of the biggest unexpected benefits? My sleep. I used to toss and turn most nights and rarely felt rested. Now I get a solid eight hours, and wake up feeling energized and ready to go.
I work out almost daily, my energy is up, and the chronic bloating I used to deal with is gone. I feel amazing. Dr. April’s personalized genetic program transformed not just my body, but my long-term mindset and habits. I can’t recommend her enough!"

"Working with April and going through the GeneRx testing has been a total game changer for my health. After years of pregnancy and postpartum weight fluctuations, I felt stuck. Despite doing everything they say you should—eating tons of protein, strength training, getting my steps in, trying every new supplement and trend that seemed to be working wonders for other women—nothing was moving the needle for me.
I had a strong feeling my hormones were out of balance, and I wanted to enter my early forties feeling strong, healthy, and grounded. Once I did the testing with April, everything started to shift. She was able to pinpoint exactly what my body needed. While some elements were familiar, the key was how they were personalized to work with my unique genetics.
Following my genetic protocol gave me clarity and quieted the overwhelming noise of conflicting advice. I finally felt focused and confident that, with time and consistency, this approach would work—and it did. My inflammation decreased almost immediately, and over time, the weight started coming off too.
What I also love about April’s approach is the flexibility and grace built into the plan—it’s made for real life. I truly believe God designed our bodies with incredible intelligence, and this program honors that by helping your genes function the way they were intended to.
I can’t recommend working with April enough!"

"I have been to several doctors and therapists to heal my migraine and hormonal issues over the last 10 years. I’m not completely healed yet, but I have had improvements with Dr April. I’m thankful that Dr April is attentive to my needs and concerns. Because my issues are complicated I know it will take time. Dr April has gone above and beyond to assist and guide me on my healing journey. I highly recommend seeing her for healing your health concerns naturally!"

"I have struggled with nerve pain in my back and legs for years. I felt as if I had tried everything; chiropractic, acupuncture, physical therapy, exercise changes, diet changes, etc. The medical doctor I saw about my spin basically told me to wait until the pain got bad enough and then do surgery. I wasn’t happy living on anti inflammatory pain meds as they were wrecking my gut and didn’t always take away the pain. Through just a handful of fascia manipulation appointments with April I have lived without pain now for 6 months! When I did have a minor “relapse” April was able to address the issue quickly and effectively in one appointment. I am so thankful for her knowledge and care. I followed her supplement and exercise recommendations and feel like she has been instrumental in helping me get my body and health back!"

Her natural approach and ongoing guidance have helped me see improvements my overall health in just a few months time. I am also a true believer and huge fan of the facial manipulation she offers -- a unique specialty that I believe aided in me making such great strives. Dr. April, her team, and the overall experience at Blue Heron is top notch. I highly recommended her to anyone I can!"

"Dr. April has played a huge part in me being able to 'take my body back' from the clutches of perimenopause. Her knowledgeable assessment of the GeneRx reports have provided insight I would have never been able to pinpoint on my own and this information regarding the balance of macros based on my genetic profile has been a game changer. I look forward to continuing to work with Dr.April on this journey and highly recommend her services to anyone who is doing all the right things but not getting the results you are seeking."
