Why This Exists
CTRL + ALT + RESET was built from professional experience and lived reality. We kept seeing the same issue: Women functioning under sustained stress without access to nervous system regulation or integration support.
​
April’s work developed through trauma-informed somatic training, systems strategy, and psychological pattern recognition and Phoenix’s developed through structured subconscious and dream-based processing.
​
Stress and trauma disrupt internal coordination, and most women are expected to manage that disruption alone. This practice exists to change that.
April VanKill
Founder | Trauma-Informed Somatic Practitioner
There were years when I kept functioning through trauma and prolonged stress: abuse, cancer, infertility, divorce, single motherhood. I was capable. I was responsible. But I was exhausted in ways insight could not fix.
​
Alongside that lived experience, I built a career in strategy and systems work. I was trained to see how breakdown happens inside complex environments and how structure restores performance. Over time, I began to see the same breakdown internally. When internal systems are overloaded, effort does not restore capacity. Regulation does.
​
That recognition led me into somatic training. Understanding your patterns does not automatically regulate your nervous system. I rebuilt my life more than once, not through motivation, but through regulation.
​
I am now a certified somatic practitioner and coach. My work is structured, trauma-informed, and grounded in both lived experience and disciplined training. That is why I do this work.

Co-Founder | Dream & Subconscious Integration
I started studying dream interpretation in 2020. I can’t remember what initially pulled me toward it so forcefully. It was simply something that aligned with ease. A year later, its importance became clear.
Abruptly, I entered a month-long stretch of intense, vivid nightmares, and every morning I would interpret them. Though the dreams grew darker, I could feel my sense of self beginning to take shape in completely new ways.
After the most grotesque and mentally scarring nightmare, only tears and a single thought came through: “That was the last one. You’re done now.” That clarity was followed by a beautifully vivid dream that foreshadowed my coming out as a lesbian.
Shortly before I did, I had my first lucid dream that signaled, “Step into yourself. You’re safe.”
This work has shifted my perspective. It has allowed me to process and heal from guilt tied to coming out later in life, experiences of abuse, dissociation, and patterns of self-abandonment. Over time, I began sitting with others in their dreams as well. Witnessing how reflection, when rooted in the body, can open clarity and insight in ways that often surprise them. Dreamwork gave my experiences space to be held, and it is incredibly rewarding to hold that same space for others
