This weight you're carrying was never meant for you to bear alone.

CHRISTIAN EMOTIONAL ABUSE AND TRAUMA COACH | DARAH ASHLIE

You are not defined  by your pain, and you’re not alone.

A new beginning is possible.

Maybe you’re here because you’re overwhelmed and exhausted by the weight and pain of the past…or feeling confused by what’s happening in your marriage or relationship.

Maybe you’ve confided in your pastor, a friend, or even a therapist about your situation, but were just told to submit more or pray harder, or trust that your pain is part of God’s plan without being given real tools to experience relief.

Whether you're unsure if you're experiencing abuse or trauma, or simply feel overwhelmed and stuck, here you'll find a space to be heard, validated, and supported—through a Biblical perspective of hope and healing.

If no one has said this to you, let me be the first: 

I’m deeply sorry for the pain you're experiencing.

God sees you as worthy of healing…and he wants you to experience clarity and hope.

There’s no shame in feeling the way you do. And there’s nothing wrong with seeking help to learn how to navigate a difficult or destructive marriage, a toxic relationship, or trauma.

In fact, there’s nothing in the Bible that says it’s God’s will for His children to simply endure these things. 

Yet, sometimes, this is the message being communicated in Christian communities.

As an emotional abuse and trauma coach, I’ve helped many Christian women who felt anxious, confused, and overwhelmed reclaim hope and joy in their lives using practical tools and compassionate guidance.

All while honoring their relationship with God in the process.

EMOTIONAL ABUSE AND TRAUMA COACH

Hi, I’m Darah. (Think Sarah, but with a “D”.)

I’ve been where you are—facing emotional pain, feeling overwhelmed, and stuck in the confusion of it all. 

I understand how exhausting and frustrating it can be to carry that weight.

From my own experience, I also know that healing is possible. Thriving beyond the pain is within reach.

God’s grace, along with the healing I’ve experienced in my own life, is why I’m passionate about helping others break free from the pain and trauma that tries to hold us back.

As an emotional abuse and trauma recovery coach, writer, and speaker, my mission is to help women reclaim their peace, joy, and purpose using the same tools that helped me to find healing, so they can create a future aligned with their values and God's purpose for their lives.

  • “Darah offers hope to people experiencing abuse and struggling with difficult life situations.

    I was struggling with some difficult personal relationships that brought a lot of stress and anxiety to my life. I decided to work with Darah after she spoke at my church because I felt seen in her testimony and because I could feel such a sense of calm and comfort coming from her. 

    The tools and resources she provided during our coaching helped me work through my emotional triggers and understand why I have them. I was nervous to confront them at first, but Darah gave me permission to feel what I felt while gently holding me accountable and helping me to not wallow in my self-pity. 

    I’ve already started to make progress moving on from the past and moving forward with my life. I feel so much hope for the future!”

  • “I’m a much healthier person because of Darah. I think I’m going to be the best version of myself in the years to come.

    Darah has supported me coming out of a psychologically abusive relationship. I consider myself more “up” on mental health and wellbeing than the average person - I follow a lot of Instagram accounts about narcissism and domestic abuse - and I knew I needed a “next level” coach who could give me insights on what was going on within my body instead of a therapist who was just there to listen. (I can vent to my support system for free!) 

    During our work together, Darah went above and beyond to help me make sense of what I went through emotionally, physically, and spiritually. She’s given me action steps to take after every single one of our sessions to manage my triggers and the trauma that’s still unraveling. She gives me hope that there’s much better out there for me and that I deserve it.

  • “Darah really cares and wants to help. If you’re on the fence about working with her, do it. You’re going to get something very beneficial, and you won’t regret it.

    I was experiencing issues around moving on and offering forgiveness, especially towards people in my life who were really close to me. I wanted to heal and overcome these feelings and knew I needed to work with a professional. 

    I’ve talked to so many people in the past that don’t care, aren’t present, and just show up for a job. Darah isn’t anything like that and really wants to help. 

    She made our coaching environment very safe and I loved that she brought faith into her teachings. Thanks to her, I’ve learned a lot about the healing process and how to handle tough situations with more compassion and grace.”

Finding Purpose After Pain

Overcome limiting beliefs, transform pain into purpose, and bravely embrace your future

It’s time to let go of the lies that have been holding you back. Step into the life you’re meant for by allowing God to turn your pain into purpose, uncover your unique gifts, and find the clarity to move forward.

Your next chapter is waiting.

God sees you as worthy of healing and wants you to experience joy and hope.

Your past does not define you, and neither does the pain you’re carrying.

Even when reconnecting with your pain, facing your confusion, or revisiting old wounds feels overwhelming, know that you don’t have to do it alone.

Taking the first step may feel difficult, but it’s the beginning of something beautiful—discovering your strength, peace, and a renewed sense of wholeness.

Often, that first step is the hardest, but I promise you, it’s worth it.
