About Me
GO VEGAN. CHANGE THE WORLD.
Hello everyone!
My name is April and I am the creator of Happy Healin’ Vegan. My mission is to save as many animals as possible. I am doing this through holistic health coaching where I encourage a plant based diet as a way to heal from chronic illness, inflammation or to increase longevity. We are living in a time where animal agriculture is greatly affecting climate change, deforestation, ocean dead zones, the decline of health and is taking the lives of billions of animals. My hope is to have a positive impact on all of these things.
I have been vegan on and off for my entire life. I always knew that I had an immense love for animals but would go back to eating meat because I, as an athlete, was worried about the lack of protein in a vegan diet (I now know that you can absolutely THRIVE on a plant based diet, and that plants contain all the protein we need).
In 2015 and 2016, I had two events happen that would change my life: getting diagnosed with Lyme Disease and saying goodbye to my best friend (my dog, Jake). Through my Lyme disease treatment, I learned that a plant-based diet could decrease inflammation, increase energy and support longevity. In addition, through watching Jake’s health decline during his last few days on this planet, I knew that I could never contribute to the suffering of another animal in any way.
I truly know that educating people, supporting vegan causes, raising awareness, helping YOU live a healthier lifestyle and taking action is what I am supposed to be doing with my life. I am so excited to show you that, whatever your reason is for choosing this lifestyle, you can increase your vitality, heal from an illness, lose weight/inflammation, boost your mood, sleep better, and be fit……..all while choosing compassion!
I cannot wait to work with you!!
