Meet Ioana

Ioana Parasca

Clinical Naturopath (ND) Herbalist · Auricular Acupuncturist · Nutrition Coach · London · My professional journey began in my twenties at Allianz-Țiriac, where I worked as a Financial Consultant. This experience taught me valuable skills in organisation, time management, responsibility and working closely with people. My passion for learning soon led me in a different direction. After being accepted to three universities in Romania, I chose to study Special Educational Needs at Babeș-Bolyai University in Transylvania, where I developed a deeper understanding of learning difficulties, neurodevelopmental differences and the individual needs of children. But my educational journey did not stop there. After moving to the UK, I continued working within the special needs field, including supporting autistic children. At the same time, my growing interest in natural health inspired me to begin a new and demanding chapter: studying Herbal Medicine at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London. For four and a half years, I combined my work with my studies, allowing me to support myself while continuing to develop professionally. In March 2026 I graduated in Herbal Medicine — an achievement that represented years of study, clinical training, commitment and perseverance. Alongside Herbal Medicine, I also studied Nutrition and Auricular Acupuncture, expanding my understanding of the body and giving me additional tools that can be incorporated into a holistic approach to wellbeing. Today, I bring together the knowledge and experience I have accumulated throughout these different stages of my life. My background in Special Educational Needs taught me to look beyond labels and to recognise the individuality of every person. Herbal Medicine, Nutrition and Auricular Acupuncture have further shaped the way I work — looking at the person as a whole, rather than focusing on one concern in isolation. After many years of learning, working and developing my skills, I felt it was time to put that knowledge into practice and create Wisdom of Nature. My approach is personal, thoughtful and holistic. I believe in listening carefully, understanding each person's individual circumstances and using my training to create an approach that is appropriate for them. I am available for consultations Monday to Saturday in: Covent Garden, London/ Wembley Park, London. Further details, including the exact location and appointment information, will be provided when your consultation is booked. I look forward to welcoming you to Wisdom of Nature. :)
