MESSAGES THAT INFORM AND INSPIRE.

I'm passionate about tackling the the hard things we all face in a relatable, biblical way that offers practical keys for hope and healing.

✓ Healing from emotional and relational wounds

✓ Dealing with difficult emotions

✓ Dealing with destructive relationships

✓ Caring for the mind, body, and spirit

✓ Thriving in times of trial and heart ache

✓ How to set God-honoring boundaries

✓ Identifying domestic violence and abuse

I’M DARAH,

I’m a Board Certified Christian Counselor & coach who specializes in helping people heal from past wounds, and have healthier relationships & emotions.

I’ve collaborated with organizations and churches, both large & small over the years. Some of my signature topics include:

  • With 1 in 3 women experiencing domestic violence and abuse, many churches are trying to find ways to become better equipped on how to handle this epidemic. I offer training for lay and pastoral staff as well as organizations who work with women to be able to identify and better care for victims of DVA. I am also available to speak at churches and organizations to speak about domestic violence and abuse, especially within the church.

  • • Healing from harmful relationships

    • Setting God-honoring boundaries

    • Identifying safe people

    • What true forgiveness looks like

    • Learning to trust after being hurt

  • • Overcoming hard emotions

    • Dealing with shame

    • Overcoming stress and burnout

    • Practical tips to help calm the nervous system when triggered

  • Darah Ashlie's webinar drew an enthusiastic response, clearly pinpointing a very real hunger in the Christian community for biblically-grounded, gospel-centered approaches to abuse. Her life experience has strengthened without hardening her, a rare feat. She is a trusted source of help for those badly treated by others.

  • My church held a seminar with Darah as the speaker. It was so informative that we asked her back a second time! The information that she shares is so educational and practical. We always look forward to having her in our churches.

    Pastor Jim Buchanan, Frostburg Seventh-day Adventist Church

  • Darah is an extraordinary speaker whose seminars had an incredible impact on guests at our Wellness Camp. Her blend of insightful knowledge and warm encouragement resonated so deeply that she was invited back for a second year! Darah’s teachings bridge biblical wisdom and modern challenges, leaving an enduring mark of positive transformation on all who hear her.

    Ginelle Nelson, Author, Health Ministries Director: Mountain View Conference (2022)

  • Darah is knowledgeable in her field and confident in what she teaches. I love that she uses relatable life experiences. She is warm, funny, kind, humble and God-centered. She helps Christians find hope, health, and life once again through her biblical and Christ-centered approach. We look forward to inviting her again, but next time to do a 3-day seminar!

    Elizabeth Iannacone, Director of Enhance Life Supperclub

  • Darah shared a very thoughtful message at our church. It encouraged vulnerability and creating a safe space for growth and healing, and was delivered in such a gentle way. She combined valid research, neuroscience, and the Gospel, leading us straight to the foot of the cross and directing us to Jesus. I highly recommend Darah as a speaker for churches, women's retreats, and youth/young adult events!
