She is passionate about changing the current disease-centered view that dominates medical care to integrative health care, focusing on optimizing wellness rather than traditional disease management and developed her expertise in the alternative healing field of whole-body medical diagnostics. Dr. Galina is a world-wide recognized expert in whole-body medical diagnostics. After finishing the California School of Medical Sciences in Diagnostic Medical Sonography, she founded the Universal Medical Imaging Group an alternative and complementary practice that uses the Comprehensive Full Body Screening. She conducted pioneering work and research to develop this revolutionary, comprehensive, Full-Body, Non-Invasive, Non-Radioactive, Painless Medical Diagnostic Screening. This scan includes a Full-Body Ultrasound, a Full-Body Thermography, a Full Body Bio-Electro Scan, a Non-Invasive Blood Analysis, an interstitial metabolic pH test and much more to assess the complete anatomy, physiology and functionality of the body and develop an individualized naturopathic plan to improve ones health. Her holistic program focuses on dietary life-style changes, detoxification, stress management, physical activity and herbal, vitamin and mineral supplements with emphasis on principles of prevention, wellness and the early detection of disease. She is also a graduate of the University of Science Arts and Technology (Montserrat, British West Indies and London, England) with a degree in Naturopathic Medicine Dr. Galina Migalko has also garnered international recognition for her naturopathic research showing how the use of whole-body medical diagnostics can contribute to the early detection and treatment of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, metabolic acidosis, circulatory and lymphatic issues, infertility, and other preventable and treatable health challenges. Dr. Galina Migalko has been a featured lecturer and speaker at healthcare and wellness seminars, conferences, retreats and workshops throughout the world.
