Michelle K. Rowton MSN, NNP-BC, RNC- NIC, C-NPT
Michelle received her undergraduate degree from Texas A&M University at Corpus Christi and her graduate degree from University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. Michelle has had over 500 hundred hours in specialized training in the area of functional medicine including blood, saliva, stool, and hair analysis, nutragenomics, methylation pathway defects, detoxification, nutrition, homeopathy, and various other alternative medicine modalities. Michelle has been working in the DFW area for over 13 years holding positions such as a transport nurse and as a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner in multiple Neonatal Intensive Care Units. During this period Michelle championed in areas of patient safety, quality improvement, and alternative birth plans including delayed cord clamping implementation. Most recently Michelle served as Program Coordinator for a large, successful functional medicine office in the North Dallas Area and currently serves as founding board member for the national organization Nurses Against Mandatory Vaccines for healthcare personnel.
Michelle's passion for wellness began with her own journey back to health after experiencing a very sick childhood plagued with chronic ear infections and antibiotic use. She developed signs of autoimmune disease in early adulthood but has been able to reverse much of her health problems through the use of alternative modalities and practitioners. She is determined to do all she can to ensure other children can have a healthy childhood and not succumb to predictable chronic conditions as she did.
Michelle currently resides outside of Melissa, Texas with her husband John, her stepson Nick, dog Lexi, cat Claudia, horses Miss Kitty and Sweet Pea, and goat Tina.
