Human Design Life Coach & Author
Aypril Porter is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Certified Courageous Living Life Coach, a Quantum Human Design Specialist, and a Quantum Alignment Practitioner. She is on a mission to help her readers and clients live deep, rich, and authentic lives by giving themselves permission to live according to their Human Design.
A recovering self-sabotaging, people-pleasing, rebel mama, Aypril learned the hard way that not living an Authentic life is a fast track to burnout, bitterness, and dissatisfaction.
Aypril always loved to do things a little differently, she showed up to senior prom in a pink tutu, green army boots, and Liberty spikes in her hair (earning her the “most original dress” award).
But then adulthood, responsibilities, and life happened, and things suddenly got serious.
She began to shut down her Leo sparkle by trying to be what people wanted from her, drawing the least attention possible to herself, and acting more like a “grown-up”.
Through various pivotal events in her life, Aypril learned to become very self-sufficient in order to survive. She refused to rely on anyone because the potential disappointment was simply too much. She took it ALL on herself, locked up her heart, and only after much time and effort, let a few people in. But never all the way to the core—that kind of potential hurt was too much to bear.
When her first child was born, Aypril dedicated herself to her family wholeheartedly, and perhaps she took it a touch too far because when her kids were just two and four, she hit her first turning point thanks to a sudden panic attack.
This was her wake-up call, warning her that she was not living her authentic life and sharing her truth with the world. She learned that life shocks us back onto our path when we need it most and that as difficult as it can be, we have a choice in how we respond to it.
Slowly she began to make choices to choose herself, not over her family, but in addition to it.
Her journey back to herself began ten years ago and has led her to the career she has now and her drive to help others live their authentic lives so that they can live a life of purpose, freedom, and joy.
No matter your age (from 2 to 102), she believes that your authentic life is available to you.
Aypril is incredibly passionate about helping parents raise their kids according to their truth through the use of Human Design and coaching. She is confident that we can all raise a new generation of children who never have to become so disconnected from themselves that they need a panic attack, a shocking diagnosis, or a stressful event to wake them back up to the truth of who they are.
“My Human Design work with Aypril was the first time any person or personality tool had ever articulated how and why my energy levels and work style seem to be so different than most of the people I know, and why working a standard 9-5 job has been so much more draining for me than others. She even brought up – accurately – how particular work environments can be better suited to giving me more energy, and why that energy might fade once I leave. Our work helped me to embrace my natural tendencies and work with them, instead of comparing myself to other people who function very differently than me. If you’re curious about Human Design, I highly recommend working with Aypril!”
