Dr. April Bolding, PT
Workshops, Gatherings & Events
All that I teach and present is based on my 25+ years experience and training in Western medicine plus my 22 years of learning from women in pregnancy, childbirth, post-birth, loss, pelvic pain, trauma and surgery.
My workshops, presentations and work integrate science, the sacred, focused action, intuition, practical application and inspiration — all presented to uplift and help create much-needed healing and balance within us and for this planet.
Please be assured that in all of these workshops we will remain clothed, respectfully boundaried, and encourage each person to exercise informed consent/refusal as to how they participate. We honor diversity while strengthening our connection to each other.

Good use of humor, science and sharing in a relaxed, supportive environment.
​
I loved learning what positions I push best in. I have a better understanding of my anatomy and I could actually do the visualization to release my pelvic floor and make space in my birth canal. Why am I only learning this now (as I prepare for the birth of my second baby)?!
​
It felt like sacred space being with other mothers who are preparing themselves for birth in this way. You are an amazing teacher and healer!
​
I didn't tear!! In my head, I kept repeating the things I learned in the workshop and in the Phoenix Heart audio. I feel like it worked!
Re-Emerge Parents Meet Ups,
E-merge Workshops & ABeHive
All of these have arisen in my awareness spontaneously calling to be birthed and offered to you. In the potency of silence, contemplative presence and super-ordinary states of being, I receive downloads of healing practices and new offerings as well as endless upgrades to my system, so that I may offer them in the highest integrity with respect to your sovereignty and inherent abilities (whether you remember them yet or not). None of this is an emulation of anybody else's way. Whatever we "do" at a gathering, the energy field that is set up is the most important catalyzer to growth. Then we layer the care we exchange, the affection we show, the spacious listening we offer, the vulnerability of not curating yet another false version of ourselves to be liked. Etc. To change the world, it's first an inside job. So we clear the years and layers of programming from other sources so we can tune in directly to that universal live current of love and, finally, free ourselves and our children to live in peace and harmony on this planet.

Emerge Workshop
All are welcome
Emerge from the hibernation.
The isolation. Confusion. Division.
And choose what you will and will not merge with. E-merge = Energy Merge.
It's time to E-merge into the new you.
​
In this workshop, you are held, guided and accompanied as you submerge to clear what needs to be cleared so you can Emerge more fully embodied than ever.
​
The themes will change class to class but every time, you will find relief in the stillness as we align ourselves, switch into our zero-point neutrality and see what needs tending to.
​
This workshop, taught by Dr. April Bolding, is a varying constellation of calming, centering, clearing healing, activating, revealing, connecting, celebrating, witnessing and breathing. It is meant to support your highest embodied evolution.
​
When: Last Tuesday of every month
7:30pm-8:45pm

ABeHive Collective
Pollinating the New Earth
ABeHive is a high-vibrational collective gathered to co-create and materialize the architecture of the new earth. Having a thoughtful local community that is healthily interdependent is how we are going to successfully transition into the new era. We are here to co-create a new way of BEing, living, and caring for each other from the ground up.
We have seeds, flowers and pollinators in the Hive. The pollinators are high vibration, skilled professionals that have expanded awareness and integrate that into their offerings. Caring health care providers, body workers, herbal offerings, etc.
Most people sign up as Flowers to connect them to the others that want to create a better life for themselves and all future generations.
We have a private group on MIghty Networks where we share events, gatherings and updates, plus it gives us a directory of and way to contact high level practitioners.
You can find out more specifics at ABeHive.com or by talking to April.
