Testimonials
─ Lisa and Paula, TrufElle Founders
“April made us feel like Parisians (not tourists) as soon as we stepped off the plane. On arrival she arranged an airport pick up with a charming driver who instantly cared for us as if we were old friends. April selected a fabulous boutique apartment, just steps from Opera Garnier and each day took us to experience charming boutiques, incredible dining, sexy wine bars, eclectic jazz clubs and a vibrant night life. Those 5 days in Paris awakened all the senses. April's love for Paris was contagious and the generosity of sharing her life there is one I will cherish forever. So thankful to April for allowing us to experience the Parisian Life.“
─ Monica Tang, Founder LevelV Bakery
“April has been an incredibly valuable source of advice, motivation, and guidance. She is extraordinarily intuitive, a wonderful listener, and her uplifting and positive personality makes it easy for me to share my ideas with her. April has helped me clarify my thoughts on my career transition that would capitalise on my passions and strengths, and has willingly shared with me her mistakes and triumphs over the years when she became an entrepreneur herself. She truly advocates for her clients and believes in their potential, and pushes them to take the leap of faith. April is not only an amazing coach, but also a caring mentor and I would highly recommend April as a career and personal coach because she is one-of-a-kind. I am so grateful to have worked with her and to still remain connected with her.”

“April is a doer. She doesn’t just dream or talk about things, she actually makes them happen. April understands people, knows how to make connections and help others create pathways to success. She is one of the most influential and impactful people I know.”
─ Sam Chung, Elletourage
“April May Bellia, has been one of the true shining examples of female entrepreneurship and mentorship that I have encountered in my time working in the start up space over the last 7 years. I met April two years ago, and she has always taken the time to work through ideas with me, help connect me to other entrepreneurs and give me her feedback. She has taken the time to support the community as a whole through launching an entrepreneurs event consortium, and continues to mentor individuals. I cannot give a high enough endorsement for the "Granola Girl" as she is truly one of the few who "walks the walk".”
─ George Monem, Founder, We Love Van Water
“April is one of those amazing people you need to meet and have in your life. Her exuberance for life, friends and family is what makes her a great leader. Since meeting April about 10 years ago my life is filled with a compassion and kindness for other people that can easily get lost in today’s world. Her enthusiasm and drive for her business and other people’s businesses is unrivalled and this is why she is so successful. Her family is extremely kind and happy and that sets an example which all families should follow. For myself, a coach is a leader which she is naturally but being a teacher is where April’s real star shines.”
─ Manpreet Dhillon,Veza Global
“April has a unique approach and kind hearted support while allowing you to see the honest truth of what would move you into the next stage of your life. Her attention to detail and creative approach to life/career really allowed me to see my life in a new light and see new possibilities. April has a unique gift for connecting individuals to their Truth.”
─ Barb McMahon, Sprouting Chefs
“For the past 5 years, I have been a regular attendee of the Serendipity Tea Parties, hosted and created by April Bellia. After each event, there has always been a meaningful connection to another fellow heart based entrepreneur who has either helped guide my business, create another lasting business connection or become part of my organization. April has the unique intuitive gift of knowing just the right circle of people to bring together who then are able to connect at the right time in their business development. Her events also have a way to make us all feel like we are not alone in our journey by creating an atmosphere of authenticity and the ability to feel safe in our vulnerability which is where real growth resides. It is my honour and privilege to support her growth in her journey to continue to help others in her coaching endeavours as I am confident those she helps will be a part of the lasting change the world needs.”

“Meeting April was a divine synchronicity. I had just come into my first year of business school, but wasn’t sure of what direction I wanted to follow. After I heard April at a business event, speaking about heart-ventured entrepreneurship, I knew I had found my path. I was fortunate to have her as a mentor through my internship with Granola Girl. Through this one year experience, I have grown in immense ways through April’s support. She was a mentor in so many aspects, and all of our conversations, no matter where they started, provided me with incredible insights on my own life and where I wanted to take it. She made me realise that I had the absolute choice to live beyond my fears, and to live boldly. April is truly an incredible soul, and brings so much with her presence. She has the power in impact millions through her work in the world, which I know she will undoubtedly do.”

April is very well tuned into the Vancouver social scene and devotes a lot of her time bringing together the community for special events. I admire her work ethic and ability to juggle her various business ventures along with her active involvement in her three children's lives.

Sacred Gifts Testimonials
─ LT
“April took us through a step-by-step process that helped us to understand what the sacred gifts are and how they are used to benefit others. I took the quiz and the results were so accurate, it gave me some really interesting insights of how I could apply my own gifts to everything I was doing! Definitely recommend this for anyone who feels lost or needs more clarity in their lives.”
─ JN
“I’m doing reflections on what things I do because I feel like I’m good at them, versus if I actually light up from them! It was also a revelation that some things that we might have gifts in, we might not implement them well into our lives. So this gave me some peace. I can share my gifts without having that part of my life be perfect!”
─ MS
“I now have enormous clarity about what I want to do with my life. And also, what parts of the work are mine and what parts are joyously left to others.”
─ CZ
“My life makes sooooo much more sense!!! I'm mind blown by how this was and is needed. I've been sharing what I've been getting with everyone around me, so I hope you are prepared to have more rounds of people coming your way. Actually the integration part is quite magical. So far, I never realized how much guilt I had been carrying around unconsciously about my gifts. It feels so good to release that.”
─ Amy
“Sacred Gifts is one of the best investment that I have ever had! I know about myself so much more, who I am, how can I give to the world . When we are young, we tend to say YES to every opportunities. I believe that it can be a good thing but it can be bad as well. We may end up doing something that we hate. By understanding my gifts, I know what direction I should choose. Now, when I look for a new job, I just immediately question myself if this job use my gifts :))) and if it is, then I apply for it! No more time wasted to find your purpose in life. I strongly you to take level 1 & 2 for the course, April will go deeply into your life situation and ask you some questions (RIGHT Questions). She will give you a lot of advice in life, you will just keep nodding your head and fall in love with her. ❤ Thank you so much April for giving us so much love and guidance.”
─ Niko
“I took the Sacred gifts course with very good friend of mine. I did three levels of the course. It is a no brainer that I am 1000% percent satisfied with this course and I wanted to thank April for changing the course of my life with this program. One of the main things that I learned was to release judgement. And even though I heard it a million times before, this time really clicked for me. Releasing the judgement about the other people's gifts and most importantly about me. I realise now that instead of expressing frustration and irritation towards what other people have a gift, we can leverage each other's gifts.I can help my friend's with my gifts and I can leverage my friends with their gifts. This course helped me learn so much about myself and appreciate who I am a lot more. Now that I know the importance how I use my Gifts to add more value in the lives of other people around me. Thank you so much April for altering the way I think to be a better person for myself, the people I love and the people I will make a difference in their lives.”
