Our purpose at Root Path Coaching Healing & Transformation Outreach is to bring restoration, healing, and transformation to the hearts and minds of individuals facing substance abuse and other mental health disorders through the power of truth, compassion, and authentic connection. We believe that true transformation begins at the root—where pain, false beliefs, and self-abandonment are exchanged for truth, love, and divine purpose.
Through trauma-informed teaching, spiritual coaching, and guided healing practices rooted in the truth of scripture, Root Path Coaching Healing & Transformation Outreach helps individuals move from survival to thriving, from performance to presence, and from fear to freedom.
We believe that empowerment through God’s truth and love brings lasting healing, restoration, and freedom—transforming lives from the inside out. We are devoted to providing a safe place for understanding, acceptance, and non-judgment. We are committed to walking beside every soul who seeks to reconnect with God’s truth, rebuild emotional and spiritual wholeness, and reclaim the life they were created to live. All glory be to God.
“They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor.” Isaiah 61:3
ABOUT MICHELE
Michele Donahue, a native of Pittsburgh and now a radiant presence in Indiana, Pennsylvania, is living proof that survival can lead to transformation-and that transformation can lead to purpose.
Michele's life has been forged in the fire of adversity. She has walked through unspeakable trauma, addiction, loss, and deep despair that could have easily silenced her spirit. But it didn't. Instead, it refined her. Her story is one of unshakable resilience, not just surviving what could have destroyed her, but rising up with sacred strength and a mission to help others rise too.
Anchored in a strong Christian foundation, Michele's faith has been her rock. It was through prayer, grace, and the love of Christ that she began to rediscover her worth, her voice, and her divine calling. Surrounded by a circle of faith-filled friends, spiritual mentors, and fellow overcomers, she has been held, prayed over, and championed on her journey toward wholeness.
Michele's path shifted when she found her own trauma-informed life coach-a guide who saw her pain and honored her process. Through this healing relationship, Michele was able to confront the shadows of her past and step boldly into the light of who she was always meant to be.
Today, Michele is a living testimony to the power of restoration, redemption, and the relentless love of God. She carries the metaphorical medals of her journey-not worn for show, but etched into her character, compassion, and calling. She is now a trauma-informed life coach herself, offering wisdom, support, and truth to those who feel lost, forgotten, or broken.
Her story is not just one of overcoming trauma-it's a story of reclaiming identity, dignity, and divine purpose. Michele walks with others through the fire, holding the lantern of her own experience high so others can see the way out. She brings the message that healing is not only possible-it's promised.
With courage in her voice and faith in her step, Michele Donahue is helping others turn their pain into power, their wounds into wisdom, and their survival into sacred transformation.
