Shantell Dyess
Founder
Shantell Dyess is a Recovery Coach Professional (RCP) with nearly five years of experience and a personal journey that fuels her mission. After years of struggling with substance use, she found sobriety in 2016 and has since devoted her life to helping others reclaim theirs. Her coaching style is rooted in empathy, growth, and unity—creating safe, judgment-free spaces where healing can truly begin.
As the founder of Dyess Addiction Consulting LLC, Shantell leads with authenticity, vulnerability, and lived experience. She believes recovery is not a one-size-fits-all process, but a deeply personal transformation that deserves compassion, creativity, and community. Her work centers on empowering individuals to rediscover their worth, rewrite their narratives, and build lives they’re proud of.
Shantell is also a passionate music lover who sees rhythm and lyrics as powerful tools for connection and healing. Whether she’s designing bold outreach materials, collaborating with her team, or walking alongside someone in their recovery journey, she brings heart, honesty, and a fierce commitment to making people feel seen and supported.
Her vision is clear: to foster a recovery community that honors every story, uplifts every voice, and proves that healing is always possible—with the right support and a whole lot of love.

Tiara Rust
Recovery Coach
Drawing on lived experience, I am a dedicated advocate for recovery and personal transformation. My journey began at a young age, facing addiction and alcoholism while growing up in DCF custody. These early challenges and adversities shaped a deep sense of purpose within me—a calling to help others who are struggling.
Today, I channel that sense of purpose into supporting individuals as they reclaim their lives. My guidance is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and firsthand understanding, always delivered through a trauma-informed approach. I am passionate about showing that recovery is not only possible, but truly life-changing.
Committed to helping others navigate their own paths toward healing, stability, and hope, I strive to offer support that empowers people to believe in themselves and their ability to transform. My story is a testament to resilience, and I am honored to walk alongside others as they discover their own strength and potential.
