Hi there,
I’m April Ibarra. I’m a Gerontologist, speaker, and writer known for my sassy approach to aging. Now that I am heading towards sixty I am even more passionate about inspiring others to make the most out of life after fifty. Aging is just another word for living and that’s what Flourish For Life is all about.
Age along with me, the best is yet to be.
Aging Specialist
I am a Social Gerontologist with over 30 years of experience in healthcare. My approach to consulting is always client-centered. I begin by getting to know you to understand your unique needs and goals and then I collaborate to help develop a customized plan to meet those needs. I am confident that I can help you whether you are an aging individual, caregiver, or organization.
Individuals
Aging is a natural part of life, but living well into our later years is not guaranteed. To do so, you need a plan. I will work with you to create a personalized plan so you can have the life you want at any age.
Caregivers
Caregiving can be rewarding but also a physically and mentally challenging experience. It is important for caregivers to reach out for help when they need it. I help caregivers with questions and more.
Organizations
I provide specialized consulting, helping organizations prepare for the new age of aging. I offer a variety of customizable services, including keynote speaking, workshops, and training.
Speaking Engagements
For over thirty years, I have enthralled audiences with my enthusiastic and passionate approach to communication. I provide customizable and interactive in-person or virtual presentations to assist organizations in meeting the needs of mature adults. I create each presentation based on research, my professional and personal experience, and your organizational objectives.
"April Ibarra has an incredible passion for older adults and ensuring their voice is heard. She is not afraid to broach tough topics about aging and help us see these issues through the lens of the older adult and what is best for them. Additionally, April is great to work with and a fantastic speaker. I have been honored to work alongside her and to have her as a guest on my Caregiver Chats podcast." -Lakelyn Eichenberger, Ph.D., Gerontologist and Caregiving Advocate - Home Instead
A Piece of My Mind is dedicated to those who choose to embrace aging without apology or fear. As we transition to our fifties and beyond, we have an opportunity to live out our dreams and never fade away. My goal is to inspire and motivate by sharing my own personal stories of resilience and humor.
