Our Mission

My journey and career in healthcare have been inspired by my family, particularly my elderly grandparents, for whom I provided caregiving. Witnessing the compassionate care delivered by nurses left a profound impact on me. It sparked a deep desire to make a meaningful difference in people's lives. Today, as a nurse practitioner and the lead practitioner at Planted Roots Healthcare, I'm wholeheartedly dedicated to our community's well-being.
Throughout my career, I've gathered valuable experience in various healthcare roles, from a cardiac unit to the dynamic and fast-paced environment of the emergency department. It's an environment where every day brings unique challenges, from sudden medical emergencies to unexpected situations that demand quick thinking and adaptability. In the emergency department, you encounter a diverse range of cases, each requiring a distinct approach and set of skills. From trauma care to handling urgent medical conditions, the variety is immense. This diversity not only sharpens your clinical expertise but also hones your ability to think on your feet.
Beyond my professional life, I'm an avid adventurer with a bucket list that includes exploring captivating destinations like Thailand, New Zealand, Switzerland, and Iceland. However, my most cherished treasure is my family. Whether hiking in the great outdoors or simply enjoying quality time together, those moments of actively living life with those I love are what truly matter.
I'm here to provide exceptional care to our Tampa Bay community and am genuinely excited to be a part of your health journey. Let's prioritize your well-being together so that you can enjoy all your life has to offer.
I was born and raised in Pasco County, Florida, and the Tampa Bay community holds a special place in my heart. From my carefree days as a cheerleader to a brief adventure in Pennsylvania during my twenties, I've always found my way back home. My strong connection to this area, its people, and the cherished memories of my childhood have shaped who I am today..
Hello, I'm Michelle, one of the founders of Planted Roots Healthcare. My journey in healthcare began in 2006 and has been deeply rooted in my commitment to our Tampa Bay community.

Meet Our Providers
When I’m not helping patients, I enjoy adventures with my wife and kids and imagining the thrilling adventures that good health may allow me to someday do- like breaking the sound barrier in an airplane or climbing Mount Everest. Above all, I desire to continue living a happy and fulfilling life, cherishing every moment with my loved ones. I look forward to partnering with you in your healthcare and serving our community with dedication and passion through our work at Planted Roots.
I had never imagined I'd be where I am today when I was sixteen, but life has a way of leading us to unexpected and rewarding paths.
What I cherish most about my work is witnessing patients' remarkable recoveries and knowing that I've positively impacted their lives. Making someone's day brighter and seeing firsthand that what I do genuinely matters is incredibly fulfilling. Solving the mysteries of medical complaints and embracing the constant evolution of medicine through education are aspects of my job that I genuinely appreciate and enjoy.
However, during my time as a paramedic, treating and transporting patients to the hospital, I discovered my true love for medicine. This realization prompted me to return to school and become a registered nurse, specializing in the emergency department for several years. In the fast-paced environment of the ER, I developed a habit of asking 'why,' which ultimately fueled my desire to further my education to become a provider capable of solving complex medical conditions.
Hi, I'm Steven Holt, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC, a co-founder of Planted Roots Healthcare along with my wife, Michelle. My life’s journey has taken me from St. Pete to Manchester, Vermont, where I spent my young childhood, and then back to the sunny Tampa Bay area, the place I proudly call home.
My desire to help people ignited with a fascination with the fire department during my teenage years. I eagerly joined the cadet fire program with Pasco County Fire Rescue, beginning my journey into emergency services. Despite pursuing a bachelor's degree in Business during my early adulthood, my passion for the fire department and helping others never waned. I went on to complete the fire academy and paramedic school, embarking on a fulfilling career in firefighting and paramedicine.
