Avril grew up in Ireland, lived in London for many years, and moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 2003. Her early studies included English and Psychology and in 2003 following her move to Arizona, she attained a certificate in Paralegal studies. A life learner, her studies to become a certified coach and mediator came about following a period of professional burnout and personal life transitions.

Her professional background is as varied as the countries she has lived in. She has taken the opportunity to reinvent herself professionally a few times. She was a corporate meeting planner in London in a top legal firm. When she moved to Arizona, she went back to school to learn about Arizona law to enhance her work as a Real Estate Broker, where she became a skilled negotiator.

Avril’s passion to help others find their path and joy in life was fulfilled when she learned how to help people help themselves. This was achieved through co-creating possibilities with clients through coaching. Combining her coaching, legal, and real estate negotiation skills she gravitated towards being a conflict resolution specialist.  She has created her own unique professional niche with these two business practices.  

When Avril is not at work she loves to be by the ocean. She is a keen scuba diver and sailor, hiker and walker. She loves to travel and seeks adventure all across the globe.
