Our Team
Guiding You From Survival to Sovereignty™
At The Poo’ru, we believe that lasting wellness begins with understanding.
Health is rarely influenced by one thing alone. It is shaped by the interaction of our biology, lifestyle, environment, movement, nutrition, mindset, relationships, and daily choices.
Our role isn’t to create dependence.
Our role is to educate, coach, and empower you with the knowledge and tools to better understand your body so you can make informed decisions and build a stronger foundation for lifelong wellness.
Together, we bring decades of education, hands-on experience, and collaborative coaching to support each client as a whole person—not simply a collection of symptoms.
Whether your goal is improving digestion, supporting your nervous system, building healthier habits, understanding your physiology, or creating sustainable lifestyle change, we are committed to walking alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and practical guidance.
Our mission is simple:
To help people move from survival to sovereignty—one informed decision at a time.
Our Philosophy
At The Poo’ru, we don’t believe health is found in a single product, protocol, or perspective.
We believe lasting wellness is built through education, consistency, curiosity, and personal responsibility.
Our collaborative approach brings together complementary knowledge and experience to support each client as a whole person. By combining our expertise, we provide a broader perspective, thoughtful guidance, and practical strategies designed to help clients better understand their bodies and confidently navigate their health journey.
We don’t believe in creating lifelong patients.
We believe in creating informed, empowered individuals.
Because when people understand their bodies, they become better advocates for their health.
And that’s what From Survival to Sovereignty™ is all about.

Education creates understanding.
Understanding creates confidence.
Confidence creates sovereignty.
April Geary, CHHP
Founder | Certified Holistic Health Practitioner | Health Educator | E-RYT 1000 | Author
April Geary founded The Poo’ru with a simple belief: when people understand how their bodies work, they are better equipped to care for them.
For more than two decades, April has immersed herself in the study of human physiology, movement, digestion, metabolism, detoxification, nervous system function, and holistic wellness. Her passion lies in connecting the dots between lifestyle, environment, body systems, and everyday health, translating complex concepts into practical education that empowers clients to become active participants in their own wellness journey.
In addition to her formal education, one of the greatest influences on April’s professional development has been years of hands-on mentorship alongside an experienced chemist and toxicologist. This practical training provided valuable insight into biochemistry, environmental toxicology, physiology, and complex chronic health challenges, helping shape the systems-based approach she brings to every client.
As a former founder of the April Geary School of Yoga and an experienced educator, April believes knowledge creates confidence—and confidence creates lasting change.
