About Steph – The Provider at Bloom Integrative Wellness in Stockton & Bolivar, MO
Steph was born and raised in Bolivar, MO, and comes from a very close-knit.
Healthcare Journey
Steph started her healthcare journey in 1997 as a CNA.
In 2007, she graduated with honors from MSU in SGF with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing. As an RN, she worked at CMH, Cox, Pentec Health, and became a travel nurse, which led her to take an FT position at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in STL. Of the 18+ years of nursing, the majority of the time was spent in the Operating Room.
In 2025, she graduated with honors from Chamberlain University in IL with her Master’s Degree in Nursing. As a Nurse Practitioner, she is currently working in SGF at Cherry Health Center under the ownership of Phil & Becky Loyd and founded Bloom Integrative Wellness in the Stockton, MO area.
Bloom has been a vision of Steph’s for many years. In 2026, it was time to step out!
Family
Steph is married to Justin Doty. They met on Pomme de Terre Lake at Doty’s Dock in 1998. They had an instant connection.
They have two children: Katie & Ethan Doty. The Dotys resided in Bolivar while their children were in school. Now they are grown and out of the house. Did I mention that being an empty nester is the best!
No grandchildren yet, except for a grandkitten – GiGi. BUT they do have two dogs – Athena & Daisy Mae. Both are rescue dogs. They are messier at times then toddler children!
Did you know Steph was also a Zumba Instructor?
Yes – She is a Zumba Instructor as well as an Aqua Zumba Instructor.
Faith in Jesus
Yes, Steph is one of those Jesus-lovers! No worries, though, Steph has friends from all different religions and beliefs. Proof that we all can get along and live peacefully and lovingly with one another.
In 2008, Steph was baptized in the Pomme de Terre River by Brother Gineth Hudson (who is a WWII Vet & now is almost 104).
She continues to live a Holy Spirit-filled life and lives life with all kinds of folks from different backgrounds.
