Recover the capacity to live out your purpose by placing food and movement back in their rightful place, as elements within your life rather than the center of your life.
Welcome to Rooted Recovery
Our Approach
You will be listened to, and you will be upheld as the authority of your experience.
We are not the experts of your body, and because of that, we will go beyond baseline meal planning and nutrition education.
Recovering food flexibility and freedom means…
Unpacking the stories we retained about our bodies, food, and exercise from our society, family, friends, coaches, educators, medical professionals, etc. so we can now return to the internal body cues that most of us have become disconnected from since early childhood.

The Philosophy
The care you will receive while working with us will be weight inclusive, trauma-informed, grounded in the Health at Every Size® (HAES) movement, and aligned with the principles of Intuitive Eating. We will shed the damaging diet mentality and learn how your well-being does not have to come by manipulating your body size and at the expense of your mental health.
Hello! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Julia Oliver, RD, RYT, and I am a non-diet dietitian and yoga teacher. I have spent my career guiding individuals to heal their relationship with food and movement by providing an alternative to the pervasive messages of the diet and fitness culture. You deserve the peace that can exist when you reclaim a trusting relationship with your body and together, we can uncover and learn to listen to the body’s innate wisdom that will support living your fullest life.
I believe your body has the wisest information to give you, information that is far more pure and true than what the world tries to sell you. Let’s go on a journey to hear, understand, and respond to your innate wisdom about food, movement, and living fully.

All of Julia's courses are just as much about how to think about myself in this new chapter of my life, as they are about how to move in a nourishing way. The courses are just as much advice for living as they are yoga instruction

“I wanted to take the time to explain why Julia Oliver is one of a kind in her field. She is receptive and validates everything you think and feel about your body, societal influences, self love, etc. She guides you gently as you tackle new transitions in your life and helps to remind you of the power of the human body has. Julia Oliver is kind, full of acceptance, and you can tell genuinely loves being a nutritionist and helping others. I have learned so so much about myself and how to gently readjust dysfunctional habits. She has taught me a new definition of balance and acceptance that has changed the way I maneuver through this world. What a power woman!” .

Her meditation and yoga sessions help you connect to your body in a new way. The fact that she is a registered dietitian nutritionist with a health at every size and intuitive eating philosophy helps make her classes a safe place for all and gives a unique background to meditation and yoga.

Julia Oliver is one of the wisest women I know. She came to the rescue during a time when I was struggling with healing old wounds, while also experiencing big life changes (newly engaged, first-time home buyer with a new position at work and a pandemic wedding to plan). Needless to say, a lot to process. Her guidance and wisdom helped me rediscover true center. Through yoga, meditation, intuitive eating and movement practices, and authentic connection, I’ve learned so much about setting aside the old mentalities that no longer serve me and silencing the gremlins that often hinder my alignment and growth. The space Julia holds for her clients is sacred and her wise words have stirred within me a newfound courage and deep sense of peace.”
