Dr. Galina Mahlis, Naturopathic Doctor

As long as Galina can remember, she has watched those around her struggle with their health within the conventional model of medicine and she knew that there had to be something more. Being born in Ukraine, her family always relied on natural home remedies to treat ailments, as was the norm there at that time. The medicine cabinet never had a shortage of valerian and chamomile to treat stress and high blood pressure, while iodine was always used topically for every scrape. 

Dr. Galina is a holistic PCOS specialist. She has developed a naturopathic program for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) treatment and management.

She individualizes her approach for each patient and utilizes holistic methods while enabling the patient to play an active role in their care. The path to healing is achieved by the integration of conventional and naturopathic modalities and a combination of supple­­mentation, nutrition, botanical medicine, counseling, and lifestyle recommendations to enhance the mind-body connection.

Some of my post-graduate training is in pediatrics, nutrition, mental and emotional health, acupuncture, and functional rehabilitation as well as various myofascial techniques.
