Who we are
Restore Of Ada is a wellness program that offers scientifically-backed healing programs for children and adults. These programs were designed to jumpstart the healing process by promoting a calm, regulated nervous system, training clients to better care for themselves and their relationships.
Restore of Ada was formed in 2024 in Ada, Oklahoma and is unique in its application of several healing interventions: trauma and resiliency science through life coaching, nutritional interventions, and other additional modalities of healing. Founder Dana Hargus, a counselor with over twenty years of experience, was inspired to start Restore Of Ada when she acknowledged that once-a-week talk therapy sometimes isn’t enough to treat those suffering from persistent emotional, physical and relational traumas.
While traditional counseling can provide powerful outcomes, she recognized the need for an accelerated healing program for those struggling with addictions, attachment disorders, autoimmune disease, anxiety, PTSD, depression, ADD, chronic pain, behavioral issues and many more. This led to the creation of the innovative healing program Restore House, an accelerated 9-week healing program, designed to address physical, emotional, and neurological traumas through both virtual and in-person experiences, as well as ongoing coaching and community support.
Restore Of Ada is a place to heal the body, soul and spirit.
Our Values

Ownership propels innovation
Our team understands the impact of their position in the company and also its role in our larger vision. This knowledge empowers them to take initiative on opportunities to provide the highest level of care while maintaining our vision.
Passion fuels generosity
We care deeply about the work we do. No matter if we are at the office or out in the community, our passion spills over into every part of our lives. We deeply desire to help every person who needs it, knowing that not everyone has the resources to get help.
Teamwork accelerates healing
Whether we are preparing a meal or hosting a class, we all play a vital role in the participant’s transformation. But when we come together as a team, each with our unique talents and perspectives, that harmony accelerates the healing of those under our care.
