Guided by Mikki Proffitt, Path to Change Doula

Embark on the Courageous Path Back Home to Your Heart
This 4 month transformative journey is for women standing at the precipice of their life, tired of feeling stuck, silent and empty. I’ll guide you in courageously uprooting the clutter of the past, reclaiming your voice, speaking your truth, remembering who you are and doing whatever it takes to create the life you desire, deserve, and dare to live.

This program empowers you to speak your truth and align with your heart’s desires, creating a life of purpose, fulfillment, and authenticity.

The obstacle becomes the way, truth becomes the medicine, voice becomes the pathway, and wholeness becomes the result.

Can you relate?

  • After everything you’ve been through and all you’ve accomplished, you find yourself asking, “Is this really all there is? Is this as good as it gets? Surely, there must be more.
  • Living Without Regret: You don’t want to reach the end of your life with a heart full of regrets or “what if’s” You long for a life filled with authenticity, fulfillment and destiny.
  • You know that you are meant for more. This silent suffering often rooted in past traumas and grief that have been ignored is crying out for healing, transformation and liberation.
  • You long for a life that reflects your true potential—a life without the haunting emptiness that shadows you, where your sense of self, identity, and voice are fully realized.
  • You feel trapped. immobilized, in a sense of “stuckness” that you’ve been battling for what seems like an eternity.
  • The endless repetition of old worn out patterns and the persistent suffering have left you worn and longing for change. You know you are a pattern breaker.

If any of this resonates, you are not alone.

Let’s get into the work of remembering who you truly are.

My deepest ‘why’ comes down to this…

  • How can I live a life of fulfillment, purpose and meaning?
  • Who am I? I used to be…
  • After all I’ve done, all I’ve been through, is this as good as it gets?
  • Why do I have this deep sadness that never leaves?
  • Why do I keep repeating the same patterns over and over again?

We explore your deepest ‘why’ in a personal way for you.

Remember who you are

Speak your truth.
Live your most authentic life.
Fulfill your purpose.
Wake up to your aliveness.

Welcome to Root to Rise

I’m Mikki, and I’ll be your Path to Change Doula and compassionate guide on your journey.

Rooted in the word “doule,” meaning a woman who serves, I am deeply honored to be your Path to Change Doula.

In a world where silence often masks the cries of the soul, my mission as a Path to Change Doula and Grief Tender is to illuminate the path for women standing at life’s critical crossroads so that they can step into a life of fulfillment and authenticity. A life beyond the stuckness and confusion.

With a compassionate, heart-centered approach, I bring a wealth of expertise as a Certified Addiction Counselor, EFT Practitioner, Lifestyle and Fitness Coach, Breathwork, Sound Healing, and Grief Movement Guide.

As your mentor, teacher, guide, and ally, I am committed to walking alongside women like you as you courageously embark on the journey back to your heart and true self. Supporting those who pursue healing and personal growth is not just my calling, but my greatest honor in life.

Together, we create the way forward.

Together, we will co-create a sanctuary of unconditional, loving support, empowering you to navigate life’s choices, challenges, and transitions.

This journey reflects the natural cycles of life:
Life—embracing the present moment.
Death—letting go of what no longer serves you.
Rebirth—making room for your heart’s deepest desires to flourish.

In this nurturing environment, you’ll cultivate confidence, trust, and resilience. I am here to help you find and give voice to those unvoiced places within. Let’s walk this path together, facing life’s choices and changes with grace and courage, fostering a profound sense of empowerment and self-discovery.

How did this program come to be?

Mikki Dancing

My practice is shaped by my own healing journey from a challenging upbringing marked by addiction and a lack of safety and love. This journey has enriched my understanding and commitment to helping others find their paths to healing, wholeness, and sustainable change.

Not only that, I have over 35 years of work in the fields of addiction, trauma, and grief as an addiction counselor using talk-therapy.

When I was working in the mental health clinic as an addictions counselor, I realized that the limits within this field were just retraumatizing my clients (rather than helping them achieve long term healing). Repeating your story isn’t doing the work, and so I knew I needed to pivot in terms of how I supported people.

And that’s what brought me into this body of work I now do in 1.1 Coaching.

This work isn’t about fixing or bypassing. We don’t cut corners. It’s about calmly remembering, returning home to yourself, and claiming real, sustainable freedom for yourself. Truth becomes the medicine, voice becomes the pathway, and wholeness becomes the result.

Together, we access the root of the pain, integrate what was once fragmented, and reclaim the fullness of who you are (all within a supportive, spacious, and compassionate container of support). Through my 3 Pillar approach, we move beyond surface-level talk therapy into embodied truth-telling, emotional release and reclamation. This is the path to long-term healing and to living the heart-centered, courageous, unapologetic life of your dreams.

The truth is the antidote to the pain and struggle, and serves as the catalyst for change.

“Thank you for seeing me, hearing me, valuing me, connecting with me, and guiding me toward a better version of myself. I know this is only the beginning and I look forward to working with you for years to come. The courage and honesty you display is inspiring. What is more inspiring to me is your certainty in everyone’s ability to change and grow and your relentless pursuit in sharing that certainty. I have been forever changed and impacted by you and the Focus Forward group. You have my heartfelt gratitude and love.”

Are we a good fit?

This is for you if...
  • You are a pattern breaker!
  • You want to stop running, hiding or avoiding that nagging voice inside that keeps nipping at your heels (you know what it is) and you’re willing to face it head-on.
  • You’re tired of feeling empty, alone, or unfulfilled.
  • You’re ready to commit to and prioritize yourself, show up fully, and stay the course, even when it gets hard—and it will!
  • You’re willing to do the work!
  • You’re ready to tell the truth.
  • You know in your heart that your time is now, and you must make sustainable changes to ensure you never go back around that damn mountain again.

This is not for you if...
  • You are looking for a quick fix or a temporary solution.
  • You are not ready to prioritize this level of commitment to your healing, growth and transformation.
  • You are not ready to take full ownership and responsibility
  • for your life.
  • You are not willing to get out of your comfort zone.
  • You are practicing an addiction or living with an addict and are caught in active codependency. We need to discuss this openly and honestly to determine if now is the right time for you to participate. This decision is made collectively on an individual basis.

You’ll walk away with

Give voice to the white noise in your mind, as the portal into deeper, long-term healing.

Move from comparison to compassion. Comparison leads to separation and isolation. But compassion offers the bridge to connection and belonging to yourself.

Finally accept yourself and your truth. When we’re not telling ourselves the truth, we’re silencing that. NOTHING can change until we start telling ourselves the truth and illuminating our truth.

You feel like your life matters. With each step you take that is aligned with your true purpose and values,you’ll bring a new sense of fulfillment and meaning to your life.

You will break the patterns that have held you back. If you do the work and stay the course, the patterns will break. My clients are pattern-breakers. They all are breaking the ancestral patterns. The result is then that it gives the generations to come the chance to live a different life. It takes so much courage to be a pattern breaker.

“I can’t say enough about Mikki’s compassionate work. She has over 3 decades of walking alongside those who have been affected in some way by the disease of addiction. She is tenderhearted and kind in her work, yet knowing the truth will set you free, and she isn’t afraid to speak the truth in love, holding up a mirror to your soul. You are never alone in your healing journey as she walks beside you the whole way. I will forever be grateful for her guidance and love in my recovery journey as an enabler and codependent on the addicts in my life.”  — Anonymous

“I spent 3 years with a Harvard trained psychologist with the best credentials and we just scratched the surface of my addiction and childhood trauma. Conversely, within a month of meeting with Mikki I realized that I was in a codependent relationship and was a chief enabler to my alcoholic partner. She helped me to unearth and process my root source issues and did so in a direct, honest, accountable and empathetic manner. We worked together for 6-9 months and she not only helped me become a better person, partner and father but also helped give me a new start in life.” — Peter A.

“Through my transformative journey with “Foundations of Change” and “Focus Forward,” I finally experienced the breakthroughs that once felt out of reach for decades. I had been doing all I could do to grow in self-awareness, heal, and create the changes I deeply yearned for, I felt perpetually ‘stuck,’ burdened by the weight of growing discouragement. However, working one-on-one with Mikki and alongside a small group of sojourners I received the skilled, wise, and compassionate guidance, tools, motivation, and support I desperately needed to free myself and move forward. Today, I feel lighter, healthier, more focused, and very grateful for all I’ve experienced and been given in this last year of self-discovery.” — Lynn G.

“Mikki-Thank you for your continued support. Your wisdom and guidance are invaluable. You are my NORTH STAR! I am beyond grateful that we connected several years ago. I have learned an enormous amount from you. I always say this, but I’m not sure what my life would be like with you in it. You are graceful, gentle, wise, loving, nurturing, patient, and strong. You are a wonderful role model for all of us, showing us that we can learn, grow, and change into ever-evolving, better versions of ourselves. I love that you listen to your intuition and spirit to guide your teachings that you share with us weekly. As you learn new things, you pass those right along to the group. You demonstrate growth and transformation by being vulnerable and modeling how you are working on yourself. Thank you for being my teacher, my friend, and my biggest supporter. I love you very much.” — Beth High School Teacher North Virginia
