Phaedra Parks' journey to Married to Medicine season 10

“That is also something I had in common with the ladies. They’re married, but I snuggle up to a physician as well.”

Parks discussed her main motivation for appearing on the show, stating that she became a reiki healer after looking into alternative medicine during the difficult time in her life following her divorce. She spoke about what led her to learn various holistic healing techniques including playing a healing flute.

“Medicine obviously heals you for a moment, but when you do things like music therapy, learning how to breathe, learning how to center yourself, it changes you for a lifetime,” Parks said. “You're not teaching yourself how to take something, you’re teaching yourself how to do something and so I love holistic health.”

She further talked about how she uses herself as a dummy to test different things out before she promotes them to the world.

“It gave me peace, and, of course, it sounds a little hokey, and I was like ugh will this really work, but I mean I’m always my own test dummy,” Parks said. “If I test it on myself and it works, I will unleash it on the world and I am a believer. I know it works.”
