Paraschiva Florescu
Member of Association of Naturopathic Practitioners (ANP) and General Naturopathic Council (GNC)
Paraschiva is a fully qualified nutritional therapist graduating with distinction from the College of Naturopathic Medicine.
She adopts a comprehensive, whole health approach, going to the root cause of the symptoms and taking into account each individual’s unique genetic makeup as well as the environmental and lifestyle factors.
After a consultation, the client receives a thorough plan with dietary, lifestyle and supplement suggestions individualised for them and their body’s needs. Paraschiva strongly believes in empowering her clients to be creators in their own health and educates them on understanding the foods that heal and harm, how to regulate the nervous system, what are the environmental threats to health and how to create an inner and outer ecosystem that suppoxs health and healing. She is confident that the body always wants to heal and will heal given the right environment.
In more complex cases, Paraschiva uses Autonomic Response Testing (A.R.T) a highly accurate diagnostic method developed by Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt PhD which assesses the response of the autonomic nervous system to diñerent stressors and can be also used to detect allergies, food intolerances, loss of coherence in the body and energetic blockages.
Paraschiva is a student of Dr Klinghardt and the Klinghardt Institute and is regularly refining and improving her knowledge and skills in this field.
Where required, Paraschiva uses functional testing (such as full blood count, stool and microbiome testing, hair mineral analysis, DUTCH hormone panels etc) and provides interpretation of the results and protocols based on any imbalances or deficiencies found.
Furthermore, Paraschiva’s practice is trauma-informed as she is a student of Somatic Experiencing (SE) with Somatic Experiencing International. SE is a body-oriented approach developed by Dr Peter Levine for resolving trauma and releasing stored traumatic energy. The SE approach releases traumatic shock and restores connection, which is key to transforming PTSD and the wounds of emotional and early developmental attachment trauma.
The integration of somatics, nutrition and A.R.T results in a holistic, all encompassing treatment that acknowledges the complexity of each individual, as well as the interconnection between body, mind and nature/ environment.

“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.”
