Police Officer To Natural Health Practitioner with Paraschiva Florescu

from The Positive Future For Health Podcast

Who is Paraschiva Florescu?I was witness to so much trauma, suicides and suffering - my life has been guided by that idea that instead of pulling people out of the river we should go upstream to find out why they are falling in - in the police I was metaphorically and literally pulling people out of the rivers... but I wanted to go upstream to find out the why and how to prevent that - that led me on to realise nutrition and food are foundational for life, we are what we eat - what we eat majorly influences our life - and also trauma.Paraschiva is a naturopathic nutritional therapist, and also a somatic experiencing practitioner in training with the Somatic Experiencing International institute.Coming from a legal and policing background initially, Paraschiva felt called to follow her true passion for alternative medicine and healing as she believes that health is foundational to our lives. Paraschiva combines her passion and intuition with years of studies of nutrition and exercise science, ancient naturopathic practices, subtle energy diagnostic methods and clinical examination tools in order to help her clients get to the root cause of their symptoms, let the body heal itself and live a thriving life. Paraschiva talks about:Why I left the police and chose to study nutritional therapy.Why we are what we eat? The problem with modern diets and how they affect us.The link between trauma and nutrition (bringing the body in - why I chose to study somatic experiencing in addition to nutrition). What is somatic experiencing? Talks are hosted by Althea Finch at The PainFree Method, how to be pain free by tuning into you.
