I AM a Spiritualist. My beliefs are rooted in Christ Consciousness, and I do not subscribe to colonized interpretations of spirituality or New Age beliefs. My spiritual foundation honors a personal relationship with the Divine, intentional living, ancestral wisdom, discernment, prayer, and the understanding that spiritual growth is deeply personal.

For April McCalla, Determined Growth® is more than a business—it is an extension of a personal journey shaped by faith, resilience, service, wisdom, and transformation.
As a military veteran, author, humanitarian, herbalist, and Spiritualist, April’s path has been influenced by a lifelong desire to understand the connection between spiritual well-being, nature, personal responsibility, and intentional growth. She believes that true growth involves the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—and that becoming your highest self requires both inner work and intentional action.
April’s spiritual beliefs are rooted in Christ Consciousness. She does not subscribe to colonized interpretations of spirituality or New Age beliefs. Her approach honors prayer, discernment, spiritual wisdom, connection with nature, and the understanding that each person’s spiritual journey is deeply personal.
Her passion for herbalism grew from a respect for the wisdom found in plants and traditional natural practices. Rather than simply creating products, April seeks to create meaningful experiences that encourage people to slow down, become intentional about what they bring into their homes and bodies, and reconnect with practices that nurture peace, restoration, and balance.
Her education—including advanced studies in herbalism and a Master’s degree in Business Management and Leadership—has given her the opportunity to bring structure and knowledge to a calling that is deeply personal.
At the heart of April’s work is a simple belief: growth is not about becoming someone else. It is about continually evolving, gaining wisdom, healing, and becoming more aligned with who you were created to be.
That belief is the heart behind Determined Growth Golden Enlightenments®.

Each Organic hair product at Determined Growth Golden Enlightenments is meticulously handcrafted with organic oils and herbs. We are dedicated to providing the best products, packaged with wonderful intentions and hands of love.
