Julia Baker, RD

Julia is a former emotional eater turned dietitian. She healed her relationship with food and her body using mindfulness practice over 15 years ago, losing over 100 pounds in the process. Her journey inspired her to help others work towards improved health and wellness. She published her memoir "What You're Looking for is Not in the Fridge!: How I Found Myself When I Stopped Looking There" in 2017 (Grocki, Julia). She led over fifty seminars on how to build a healthier relationship with food in professional and community settings. Shortly after opening her private practice in 2017, she suffered from a concussion that left her with severe post concussive symptoms for several years to follow. Mindfulness practice helped her get through that experience, as it has with every bump in the road! She worked for Geisinger Medical Center (Danville, PA) for five years educating adults about weight loss, diabetes, disordered eating, and post-bariatric surgery. Julia enjoys hanging out with her husband and her family. She is a fitness enthusiast and has completed four half marathons and four sprint triathlons. She enjoys spending time outside in nature, often taking photos of the surrounding beauty.
