She spent her childhood in Stratford-upon-Avon and then moved to Manchester. Giglia was a multi-sport coach in 2013, specializing in teaching gymnastics and rugby. After experiencing several fainting spells while at work, Giglia sought medical advice. She was found to have blood in her spinal fluid. Further tests revealed a brain bleed that required surgery. Initial attempts to insert fine coils in her brain failed. She was eventually forced to have a craniotomy. After a two-week induced sleep, Giglia woke up from her surgery. She had lost function on the right side of the body, memory loss and reduced speech. Giglia was admitted into an intensive rehabilitation facility a month after her surgery. While Giglia felt positive at the unit she discovered her disability when she returned home. She found it difficult to do simple daily tasks independently. After being diagnosed with epilepsy a few months later, Giglia and her partner separated and Giglia began to feel depressed. After leaving her home, she spent three weeks sleeping on the couch of a friend before talking with her friend’s mom, who was suffering from terminal cancer. This helped her see her life in perspective. Giglia said in 2015 that she made her rethink everything. It was time to do something. I got back my focus. She said she wanted me find a sport that I could excel in.
