April Sullivan is the heart behind the vision of Rest. April’s personal journey with health began with her struggles with melanoma, chronic migraines and joint pain.  She began to seek true healing, not just symptomatic fixes.

Backed with a doctorate in Physical Therapy from Hardin Simmons University, April began her professional career. Eventually, April and her husband, Shawn, opened their own physical therapy clinic. Driven by compassion for her therapy patients to see wholistic health, April’s research lead her to Functional Medicine. In 2017 she finished her studies through the Kresser Institute for Functional and Evolutionary Medicine. As her knowledge grew, so did her desire to create a place where people could locally have access to the modalities she was learning about. In March of 2018, REST opened its doors. April’s convictions about health stretch into her personal life where she consistently pursues weight training and healthy cooking. In her free time April and Shawn love spending time with their three kids hiking in the state park, and April dreams about opening her own restaurant and making her own cookbook.
