                                                                                                            April has been volunteering at CAPPED for 7 years.  She is a Certified Nutrition Advisor, with a focus on simplistic creative food, local organic farmers, health food stores/co-ops and farmers markets.  April is an advocate for diversity.  Her father was a food enthusiast and adventurist.  She grew up "food focused" and learned about survival skills/cooking on family camping trips in New England from the ocean to ravines.  She has a private tudio in Alamogordo for non-clinical nutrition sessions and community seminars.  April hold fun, innovative and crative food workshops at CAPPED and other spaces.  April has a daughter with Type I diabetes since age five.  Being a mom of a child with Insulin Dependent Diabetes is a comples and interesting advantage.  Her daughter is now 25 and works for Whole Foods in Honolulu, Hawaii.  April's oldest daughter owns her own Nutrition Counseling business in Costa Mesa, California and is a body builder. 

                                                                                                            April is also a Certified Yoga Instructor, teaching private sessions for beginners, people that are ready to open-breathe and move after physical therapy, emotional distress - trauma, and depression, drug and alcohol recovery and women's passages and life changes.  She will be holding Yoga workshops at CAPPED and other spaces.

                                                                                                            Apart and separate from her plethora of creative food innovations, she is an Extension Nutrition Educator with NMSU Cooperative Extension, teaching basic nutrition in Otero County.  You may read some articles that April has written on her blog www.mbsw.workpress.com
