Hi, I’m Dessiree Berry, MSCN, MPH, RYT, RMT – founder of Root & Rise Nutrition.
I’m a clinical holistic nutritionist, public health advocate, yoga teacher, herbalist and reiki practitioner devoted to helping women reconnect with their bodies and reclaim their health through food, education, and radical self-trust.
With a background in neuroscience and dual master’s degrees in Clinical Nutrition and Public Health, I bring an integrative, systems-based lens to care—grounded in science but guided by the lived experience of the body. My work is grounded in the understanding that reconnecting with your body is deeply personal and shaped by the systems we live within—which is why nutrition should always be individualized, respectful, and rooted in compassion.
I specialize in women’s health across the lifespan, with a focus on gut healing, hormone balance, fertility support, and postpartum wellness. I don’t believe in rigid diets or one-size-fits-all protocols—instead, I offer individualized care that meets you exactly where you are, whether you’re deep in healing, preparing for pregnancy, or adjusting to new rhythms of motherhood.
In addition to my private practice, I serve as the Director of Operations for a rural postpartum nonprofit, where I advocate for equitable access to care for women and families in underserved communities. Through Root & Rise Nutrition, my mission is to create a space that feels safe, inclusive, and empowering—because you deserve support that sees the whole you.
