About the Author

April Heath Pastis is an author, designer, and lineage centered creator who helps people explore the stories they inherit and the ones they choose to carry forward. Blending genealogy, psychology, and reflective practice, she creates tools that make emotional inheritance visible, approachable, and transformative.
Her work is rooted in the belief that every family carries a story — and that understanding those stories can open the door to clarity, compassion, and agency. Through The Ancestral Mirror, April offers readers a gentle, structured way to explore their lineage with honesty and care.
She lives and creates in California’s Central Valley, where she continues to develop reflective tools, community spaces, and resources for anyone seeking to understand the threads that shape their lives.
