Does anyone know where I can find some good health food/bio stores in Iasi?
Also looking for any nice gyms/fitness/wellness centres?
A place to buy a second hand bike?
A good physiotherapist, massage therapist, acupuncturist?

Does anyone know a company that can truck personal things from Germany to Iasi inexpensively (as I'm not moving SO much stuff)?

Many neighborhoods and each mall has naturist/bio stores, they are quite easy to find.  They are called "Plafar".  Hypermarkets also will dedicated sections for this.

As for second hand bikes, try olx.ro.....though be cautious, lots of cheats and jokers operate about there.  I've been ripped off on more than one occasion from sellers there.  Negotiate the price also, as most people over-evaluate their belongs, ridiculously so in many cases.  Try to make sure you can inspect the bike before paying if you get it from a non-local seller.

How much is, not SO much? A few medium size boxes that won't fit in a car with you, enough to fill a Sprinter van?  How many kilos are you estimating?

I wanted to bring my bike, my massage table, and maybe one large suitcase of stuff...

…but I can't drive from Berlin to Iasi.
because I have a condition that I cannot drive for more than 20 minutes at a time. and less important is that I don't know how to drive on this side of the road

The link above shows you that there's a bus on Saturday from Berlin to Iasi. The cost for one way journey is 84 EUR or 375.57 RON but I would think that is for a person travelling. The bus leaves from the Central station in Berlin and arrives in Autogara Real on Str Moara in Iasi.

I hope this helps and if you still need more info then PM me.
