Welcome to The Steph Sanzaro Podcast.

Today we are joined by the radiant Dr. Gabriel Floreani.

"Chiropractor, business owner, birth educator, international speaker, event coordinator and mother are simply some of the titles that all stem from Dr. Gab's passion to play her part in shifting the consciousness of the world toward Vitalistic health care and ways of life. As a practitioner and educator, her true passion lies in inspiring people to marvel at their own innate potential and harness that magic so as to fulfil their own deepest calling in life.

Teaching and embodying the principles of vitalism creep in to every aspect of her life. Gabriel has 5 children the first two born at home in Italy, a country where home births are less than .04%, and the next 3 born at home in Australia. Her experiences which range from the most difficult decisions and torturous pain - to ecstasy in birth, called her to her passion work as birth educator. Exploring and enjoying ways to eat well, learn and thrive together keeps this little (BIG) family busy and inspired from day to day. These experiences have deepened her connection to self and trusting her own inner wisdom and strength, paving the way for her devoted teachings in all arenas of her work."
