Our Story

The Story

Founded by a Survivor & a Soldier — where grit meets grace, healing begins.

The Heart Behind Grit + Grace Aromatics™

Grit + Grace Aromatics™ was born out of survival—and the sacred beauty that rises from broken places. Founded by Diane Geruso, a survivor of domestic violence, spiritual abuse, and deep loss, and her husband John, a retired soldier and sheriff, this brand is more than wellness—it’s worship through healing.

Together, they’ve walked through trauma, PTSD, and grief that left no words—only faith. Out of those ashes came something holy: a healing-centered wellness line created to restore peace, renew hope, and remind every misfit, every survivor, and every weary soul that peace is still possible.

The Mission

To create handcrafted aromatics and wellness essentials made with purpose—pure, clean, and designed to comfort body, steady mind, and soothe soul. From the Scents of Survival™ Collection to the Scars You Can’t See devotional, every product is a testimony that healing isn’t just possible—it’s promised.
