Hidden Gems: Meet Nicole Barton of Grassroots Health and Wellness

Today we’d like to introduce you to Nicole Barton.

Hi Nicole, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Dr. Nicole Barton is originally from Chicago, IL where she pursued a career in nursing and worked in emergency medicine and pediatrics while also obtaining a degree in massage therapy and Bachelors in Nutrition.

After several years, she relocated to Orlando, FL to be closer to her immediate family and start her journey towards a more natural approach to medicine. Dr. Barton graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic’s Florida campus in September of 2016 where she also became Webster certified (specific prenatal technique that allows for an optimal pregnancy and beyond).
​
To further her knowledge, Dr. Barton attended training as a Birth Doula through the Doula Organization of North America (DONA) International to help assist women during pregnancy and labor. She has also received her functional medicine certification from the University of Western State. Dr. Barton is currently completing her certification in prenatal and pediatric care with the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association.

She became interested in the chiropractic field after a severe injury while working at the hospital that almost left her unable to obtain any quality of life. From then on, she has spread her passion about the positive influence of chiropractic care. Dr. Barton is extremely passionate about a holistic approach from the mind, body, and spirit, and enjoys any opportunity to educate others, young and old, on a natural and healthy lifestyle.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced in this business is educating the public on the value of pediatric and prenatal chiropractic care. In a world full of quick fixes and skepticism around holistic health, building trust with families takes time and consistency. Early on, it was difficult to find my voice and confidence in a field that not everyone fully understands. I’ve also navigated seasons of burnout, staffing shifts, and the growing pains of expansion, each one teaching me how to lead with grace and clarity.

Through it all, I’ve stayed rooted in my mission: to serve moms and children with heart, intention, and evidence-informed care. Every obstacle has pushed me to grow as a doctor, a business owner, and a woman in leadership.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?

Are there any books, apps, podcasts or blogs that help you do your best?
Books: no favorites but I do love a good mystery or love story outside of things I’m trying to learn to better my skills within my profession.
Podcast: Locked in Cubs or anything related to self help, health, and biohacking.
