Leah Balliet
Program Assistant & Instructor
Leah joined the BC Brain Wellness Program in January 2024 and is now a practicing kinesiologist with the team. She recently completed her Bachelor of Kinesiology at the University of British Columbia, specializing in Neuromechanical and Physiological Sciences. Leah works one-on-one with participants in the program’s new Kinesiology offering, teaches group exercise classes both in person and online, and contributes to ongoing research initiatives.
Leah is deeply passionate about supporting individuals living with neurological conditions and believes strongly in the power of movement to enhance independence, confidence, and overall well-being. She is continually inspired by the participants she works with and strives to create a welcoming, inclusive environment where everyone feels empowered to explore their physical potential. Her work is grounded in the belief that personalized, evidence-informed exercise can be a powerful tool for both prevention and rehabilitation.
Outside of work, Leah enjoys spending time with friends and family, walking her dog, and relaxing at the beach.
