Welcome

My name is Paraschiva Florescu and I am a fully qualified Nutritional Therapist based in Somerset, United Kingdom. I implement naturopathic principles of healing, looking at the body as a whole. I have an interest in trauma and the psycho-somatic-spiritual effects of it on the individual so my practice is trauma-informed as I am currently also studying Somatic Experiencing (SE). Nutritional therapy helped me set a strong foundation for my health and for a thriving life and so I am passionate to share this knowledge with others. If you are tired of being tired, exhausted, ill, confused about what to eat and know that there’s more to life than this, I invite you for a free 15 minute discovery call where we can talk about how nutritional therapy can help you live a life in full health and joy.

My approach

Vix Medicatrix Naturae

The healing power of nature: our body’s desire and ability to heal itself. Nutritional therapy encourages this intrinsic healing process to take place. Instead of focussing on dis-ease and ‘treatments’, I encourage my patients to focus on promoting health and vitality.

Nutritional therapy starts with the foundation of all life: what we eat and how we eat. But we go further than that by looking at your environment (inner and outer), your current lifestyle and habits, mindset, your genetics and family history as well as any past, unresolved trauma. Changing any of these factors has the potential to change your life and your health. I truly believe that a healthy body is necessary to a thriving, joyful and fulfilled life.

Nutritional therapy can help with resolving and supporting the healing of various conditions including:

-autoimmune conditions

-metabolic syndrome and weight loss

-hormonal imbalance (including PCOS, endometriosis, infertility)

-chronic anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD

-chronic fatigue syndrome

-lowered immunity and frequent colds/infections

What does a nutritional therapy session involve?

I start by taking the case where I will get to know you and your past from pre-conception, conception, birth and beyond until the present day. I will analyse any medical tests and recommend any further functional medicine testing if needed. I will create a comprehensive plan that includes lifestyle, nutrition and supplement suggestions tailored to you and your needs. I work naturopathically, combining various tools including somatic experiencing and energy medicine in order to find out the blocks in your path to wholeness.

From story to passion

My own story led me to become deeply passionate about natural approaches to health. Throughout my short career in law and the police service, I learnt to ignore my body’s signals, cries and intuitive messages. Only when reaching rock-bottom, mentally as well as with my health, I realised the innate wisdom of our bodies and the power to heal in the right environment. Thus, my passion for natural medicine and healing flourished, with nutrition being at the basis of all life.

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Para and it was a positive, changing experience for me.

“Paraschiva's support has been nothing short of life-changing for me. Her expertise and professionalism are unmatched, but it's the personal touch and dedication she brought to every aspect of my journey that made all the difference. She not only guided me through necessary medical check-ups and essential lifestyle changes, but she also provided invaluable insights through lectures that helped me conquer my emotional eating habits.

Her customized nutritional advice, including the thoughtful selection of vitamins and supplements, was instrumental in my progress. As a result of her comprehensive and holistic approach, I've lost over 20 kg and managed to overcome a persistent case of urticaria that had previously seemed untreatable. Paraschiva's approach has genuinely transformed my overall well-being, and I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact she has had on my life.”
