Meet the Founder, Executive Director
Hi, I'm Dasha Frenchie,  CPSS , BHT 

I am the founder of Gracefully Restored LLC and a Certified Peer Support Specialist dedicated to helping individuals discover hope, healing, and purpose through compassionate peer support and lived experience. My passion is walking alongside people as they navigate life's challenges, reminding them that recovery is possible and that no one has to face their journey alone.

My story didn't begin with success—it began with brokenness.

I have experienced trauma, grief, addiction, mental health challenges, and seasons where I felt lost and uncertain about my future. There were moments when I questioned my worth and wondered if life would ever change. But through God's grace, recovery, and the support of people who believed in me, I began a journey of healing that transformed my life.

Today, my testimony is proof that healing is possible.

I don't serve from a place of perfection—I serve from a place of experience. I understand what it feels like to rebuild after hardship, and I believe our greatest wounds can become the foundation for helping someone else find hope.

As a Certified Peer Support Specialist, I provide compassionate, recovery-oriented support by helping individuals identify their strengths, connect with community resources, develop wellness goals, and move toward the life they envision. My approach is centered on respect, empowerment, dignity, and genuine human connection. Faith-based encouragement is available for those who desire it, always honoring each person's own journey and choices.

My mission through Gracefully Restored LLC is simple:

To help people move from surviving to thriving—one conversation, one step, and one restored life at a time.

I believe every person has value.
Every story matters.
Every setback can become a comeback.
And no matter where you are today, hope is never out of reach.

"He restores my soul." — Psalm 23:3
