It is possible, Findegil. After all, many things are supposed to reunite when Arda will be remade (for example, the Silmarils). However, I've always thought that the healing of Arda is a process pretty much similar to fixing, let's say, a toy car. You take it apart, you clean all the little pieces and take out all the dirt that got stuck in it, but when you put it back together, it functions totally differently than it did before. I don't ean better - literally differently. What would the healing of Arda look like? I don't think that even the roles of different rces are going to remain the same.

Sorry if this sounds rude,
Galadriel55, but I honestly don't understand what this has to do with the question.
And it's not just "possible"– I think it can only mean that, or else a roundabout way of saying "never": Galadriel is talking about meeting Treebread in a place which had been destroyed long ago.
By the way–

I hate to break this to you, but that's not what's
supposed to happen when you fix a toy car.

Again sorry, but you're begging the question here. I'm not sure it
is a prophecy in the first place, and if it is I'm not sure it refers to Valinor anyway.
