Welcome Back Galia!
After a year long maternity leave, we’re thrilled share that our dear colleague, Galia, will be back at the clinic starting September 10, 2025!
She has been enjoying introducing her sweet daughter, Evelyn, to many of her favourite activities, such as walking their dog, hiking, paddling at the cottage, and camping! Galia was also able to travel with her family to Mexico where she was born.
Galia is very excited to be getting back to what she truly loves. She will be offering physiotherapy services in:
Orthopedic physiotherapy
Pelvic health conditions
Pre and postnatal
Gender-affirming care
Galia provides care in English, French and Spanish and has completed advanced training in pelvic health physiotherapy, with expertise in conditions such as pelvic pain, deep core function, prenatal care, postnatal recovery—including safe return to running—and physiotherapy for gender-diverse individuals.
With a background in Kinesiology and extensive experience as a competitive athlete and sprint canoeing and kayaking coach, Galia brings both knowledge and confidence to prescribing progressive, individualized exercise programs and motivating her patients.
Galia is a certified yoga teacher and often weaves yoga principles into her physiotherapy approach.
As a new mother, Galia is especially inspired to support others through prenatal and postnatal pelvic health journeys, combining both professional expertise and a personal perspective to her practice.
We are very excited to welcome Galia back!
