Today we’d like to introduce you to April Bogle.
Hi April, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
What has called me to do this work?
What is the gap no-one else is felling?
Why is it better than anyone else?
I know my path has lead me to here. I’ve followed my calling from a neglected + traumatized child, sexual assault survivor, foster care child, teen age pregnancy, high school dropout, neglected and abused wife, trauma, mother to four children, nurse in , emergency medicine my entire adult life.
I’ve learned how to comfort that child, me, from all those years ago.
Remove the layers that have been placed on me by society and circumstances. Sit with the discomfort in my body. Feel my soul ground into my exustanoe on
this sarth. Remember who I am.
Then, create a space for that child. A safe place for mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters to feel safe, held and heard. A space where others can come to sit with their inner child and begun to remove the layers and remember. who they are.
I’ve worked in healthcare as a nurse my entire life. I’ve seen how people fall through, not the gaps but the enormous craters in our healthcare system not only with western medicine but mental health.
We, the human population are NOT broken. We just forgot. It is as easy as allowing, letting go and remembering who we are.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Resources, education, acceptance from the public that this is an option. The superstition around energy medicine is slowly unraveling as more and more people trust and explore this simple way of healing themselves.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
After a sacred journey, I created a hydro acoustic sound bed. There is nothing like it in the world. I am in the process of obtaining a patent and getting it out in the world for more and more people. It is a modality that allows a person to let go of their senses and explore their true inner self.
What were you like growing up?
I do not remember much of my childhood. What I do recall is a landscape of challenges that sharpened my awareness of my surroundings and the people I allowed into my life. Another broken home story of growing up without a father and living with a mother who did her best to keep us alive. At a very young age, I was sexually assaulted, an event that became an unspoken fracture in my sense of self. From then on, I felt like an outsider in a world that was supposed to be mine.
My relationship with my mother unraveled to the point where severing ties seemed like the only way to grasp at the possibility of a “normal life.” Yet normalcy always eluded me. As depression and anxiety wrapped around me in my teenage years, their grip only tightened with age. At sixteen, I became pregnant with my first boyfriend. The life that followed was not what I had envisioned—four marriages, four children, and the growing emptiness of feeling like I was giving everything and receiving nothing in return.
I poured myself into the service of others as a nurse in emergency medicine. It was a role that defined my adult life, but it did not fill the void. By the time I was 46, I stood at the edge of an abyss. My fourth marriage had ended. My passion for my work had withered. My children had grown and left home. I had nothing left. Rock bottom was not a singular event—it was the culmination of years of unresolved pain, of repeating the same patterns and expecting a different outcome.
