Personal Life

Galia, a former resident of former USSR, moved from Latvia to Britain in 1989 in search of employment. She started working in Oxford Street in an administrative role and later moved into property development. It was around the same time she faced problems due to her weight. She had put on considerable weight because of her heavy intake of junk food that was omnipresent. She reached a breaking point when she turned 50 and decided to take control of her body. She followed her grandmother’s regime, which involved fasting and natural eating. When this worked for her, she decided to bring her ideas to the market as it was a lucrative market. She converted the Bread and Breakfast her husband ran to a weight-loss retreat called ‘Slimmeria’ in Crowhurst, East Sussex.

Career

Her Sussex retreat was successful in no time. Her no-nonsense and sometimes dominating approach ensured that the participants received what they asked for – to lose weight in a short span of time. Soon enough, she built another retreat of a similar nature in Merlin Court, Ilfracombe in Devon. Over time, her methods earned her the tags ‘diet dominatrix’ and ‘the slim reaper’ as she didn’t mince words while training her participants to stick to a regimented diet. The promise of shedding weight within a week appealed to many others, and her ‘Slimmeria’ retreats witnessed a greater success as the years passed.
