Today we’d like to introduce you to Kimbria Burton.
Kimbria, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
My journey in healthcare began over a decade ago when I started working as a medical assistant. Those early days sparked a deep passion for caring for others and inspired me to pursue my nursing degree. I spent about three years as a nurse before taking the leap to become a nurse practitioner, driven by a desire to make an even bigger difference in people’s lives.
Once I became a nurse practitioner, I discovered functional medicine — and I fell in love. I loved how it allows me to take a proactive approach to health, helping patients feel their best before problems arise. It’s about truly listening, understanding their unique needs, and guiding them toward lasting wellness.
That’s what led me to open Rooted Health & Wellness — a space where patients feel seen, supported, and empowered, and where wellness is personal and rooted in care.
My mission is simple but meaningful: to help people feel vibrant in their own skin, restore their energy, and live their lives with confidence and joy. Seeing patients reclaim their health and thrive is what makes everything I do worth it.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
My journey has definitely had its challenges — nothing worth doing comes without them! My biggest struggle has honestly been finding balance. Juggling my role as a full-time nurse practitioner while building and growing Rooted Health & Wellness, along with being a mother and a wife, hasn’t always been easy. There were moments of self-doubt, uncertainty about business decisions, and figuring out how to manage time between patients, running a clinic, and family responsibilities.
At the same time, every challenge taught me something valuable — how to prioritize what truly matters, lean on the right support, and remain focused on my mission. Those struggles didn’t stop me; they strengthened my passion to create a space where patients feel empowered and cared for. They also reminded me that perseverance, passion, and a clear vision can help you navigate even the busiest seasons of life.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Rooted Health & Wellness?

Risk taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
I view risk-taking as an essential part of growth and creating something meaningful. For me, my biggest risk honestly was just starting Rooted Health & Wellness — not knowing how successful it would be. Launching a new clinic comes with uncertainty, long hours, and the challenge of figuring out everything from business operations to patient care on my own.
Even though it was uncertain, I believed in my vision. Taking that leap has taught me so much about resilience, perseverance, and trusting my instincts. It’s shown me that the most rewarding growth often comes from stepping into the unknown and following your passion.
