About Avril
Avril is the mother of three babies--although as you can see below, they are not really babies anymore--and lives on a small farm in the mountains in western North Carolina. She is pictured here with her motorcycle which she enjoys riding along the curving mountain roads and all across the United States for that matter.
"Riding a motorcycle, like birthing, requires your full presence and demands your 100% attention. Like birthing, we must make small and sometimes large body-led adjustments and like birthing, trust our intuition."
