Hi, I’m April Couvillion.
I have loved the body and movement since I was a little girl dreaming of dancing on the stage. After my young career as a contemporary dancer, I earned a degree in Kinesiology from George Washington University. I worked alongside Physical Therapists at the National Rehabilitation Hospital as well as outpatient clinics. I observed much of what brought people relief was the hands on treatment of massage and passive stretching. When I discovered Thai massage (A.K.A. Lazy Mans Yoga) and how to integrate some of these elements into table massage I knew I had found another passion. The ability to connect with another, and help them feel better was empowering and gratifying.
Over the last decade+ I have been honing my skills as a body worker and have never stopped learning. Movement therapy thru the study and practice of yoga, the mind/body/spiritual impacts of Pranayama, meditation and acupressure, and the study of Ayurveda deepened my ability to guide healing. I love empowering clients. Bodywork and the other modalities I offer can give you tools as you strive toward optimal health, joy, and contentment.
The Studio
I grew up helping my Dad on old New England construction and love the feel of a good space. For my studio I wanted to create a clean, artful, calming space where clients could just let go and feel safe to just be. So, with the help of family we designed, and built an eco-conscious space with good energy steeped in every wall.
We super insulated to reduce noise pollution and increase thermal efficiency.
Choosing your path…
We re-landscaped, using local mulch and reclaimed Denver flagstone, to better align with Colorado’s arid climate….
Reduce, reuse, recycle….
We upcycled tons of exterior and Interior materials! Siding, windows, flooring, trim, and barn beams, used to create soft uplighting, were all salvaged.
