We wanted to let you know that Oriana’s last day @361clinic will be on Thurs. Dec 23rd. She has moved further South-east in Toronto which has made for a longer commute, plus she wants to pursue teaching more yoga classes.

😢 Oriana, we thank you for your over 15 months of providing massage therapy to our 361 family and wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

😢 If you want to book in with Oriana before she leaves, she still has a few spots remaining for the remainder of December 2021.

😢 On a positive note, Leslie, one of our RMT’s has availability for the rest of the month, including during the holidays!

Welcome to LESLIE! Our newest addition to our RMT team!

We are happy to announce that our @361clinic family is expanding to help provide you with the ONE degree of difference.  We are adding on Leslie Bellack as another RMT just as we get into the end of the year rush! To give you an added boost of confidence, one of our other RMT’s Michelle received a demo massage from him and gave him 2 thumbs up! Let’s learn about Leslie:

🤩 Leslie has been a RMT for the past 19 years and a student of the human body his whole life.
🤩 Leading an authentic and active lifestyle has led Leslie down many pathways including the Royal Canadian Navy, Registered Practical Nurse to now RMT.
🤩 Throughout his varied life experiences, empathy and service to others have directed his actions as to how help others best.
🤩 Leslie specializes in chronic pain resulting from repetitive use, trauma, poor posture, scars and scar tissue. His treatments can be slightly unconventional but aim for the source of pain, not the pain itself.
🤩 For the past 15 years Leslie has been coaching runners with technique and training.
🤩 He enjoys taking care of his 2 sons and also enjoys studying Japanese.
➡ Leslie starts this week and will be available on Mon, Wed & Fri, as well as every other Sat morning.
➡ DM us if you want to book in on those days.  Or sign up to receive our weekly @361clinic e-newsletters to see what spots are available.
🤩 We are very excited to have Leslie on board! Come on by to give him a warm welcome and see what that ONE degree of difference he has to offer!

August 6, 2021: Dr. Lopes Supported her 1st Birth today as a BIRTH DOULA!

/0 Comments/in /by
Dr. Lopes stepped away from @361clinic this morning to go and support her 1st birth as Birth Doula!
.
.
Reposted from @drmelanielopes 🥳 I thought today was going to be a memorable day because there was going to be a lot of medal dreams about to happen at the @tokyo2020 Olympics, but I was wrong!
.
🥳 Today, August 6, 2021, I got to support my 1st birth as a Birth Doula candidate, at a home birth.
.
🥳 Today our population increased by 1 because this 9.5lbs baby boy (name TBD) came into this world at 12:10pm!
.
🥳 After watching and supporting this birth experience since this morning, all I can say is WOW! This mother was fearless and made the whole process look so easy! If I could, I would’ve given her a gold 🥇 medal too!
.
🥳 KUDOS to the supportive birth partner, and their team of midwives from Riverdale Midwives, for making this the best 1st birth I could ask for!
.
🥳I haven’t had a moment to fully process what happened today, because I was able to return back to work @361clinic later this afternoon.
.
🥳 Thanks to my patients who were flexible and understanding about the last minute rescheduling of your appointments, to allow me to go and support my 1st birth!
.
🥳 Happy birthday Baby X, and thank you to his parents for trusting me in helping them with their experience.
.
➡️ NOTE: the parents gave me permission to share these 📸. More pics will be shared on my @through.sweet.mels.eyes page.

Dr. Lopes celebrates her “Sweet 16” Chiroversary!

/0 Comments/in /by
On this day 16 years ago, @DrMelanieLopes graduated to become a Chiropractor. Today she marks her “Sweet 16” which involves many great events and experiences including:
.
🤩 In 2015 she volunteered at her first international event as a host therapist, which was here in Toronto at the 2015 Pan Am & ParaPan Am Games.
.
🤩 With the Canadian Deaf Sports Association (@assccdsa) when she got to volunteer with the Canadian Deaf Track team in 2015 at a training camp in Toronto.
.
🤩 In 2016 when she volunteered at a clinic with @WorldSpineCare in Moca, Dominican Republic, where she got to improve her Spanish & use her chiro skills.
.
🤩 In 2016 when she worked with @AthleticsOnt for their winter training camp in Florida.
.
🤩 In the summer of 2017 when she got selected for her 1st time as a Sports Chiropractor to be on the Core team, to provide care at the 2017 Summer @CanadaGames in Winnipeg, MB.  It was her first Minor Games experience and definitely one that she’ll never forget! @austincole_98
.
🤩 In 2017 she was a Team Leader for the @InvictusToronto Games 2017 at the Power Lifting venue. This was also a memorable and one-of-a-kind experience.
.
🤩 In 2019, she was part of the Core Health Team at the 2019 Winter @CanadaGames in Red Deer, Alberta.
.
🤩 Her last major event before the pandemic hit was in December 2019 when she volunteered with the Canadian Deaf Sports Association (@assccdsa) Ski & Snowboard team at @2019WinterDeaflymipcsItaly in Valtellina-Valchiavenna. I got to use my ASL & Sports chiro skills all at once for my 1st Deaf International sport event!
.
🤩 She can’t believe 16 years have flown by, and each year she enjoys learning and applying new information and techniques both with her patients @361clinic and on the field.
.
➡️ What does she hope to achieve next (in no particular order)? Move @361clinic to a larger space, volunteer at a Commonwealth Games, PanAm Games, Summer Deaflympics, Olympic Games, and help her @361clinic family achieve all of their personal goals!
.
➡️ Here’s to many more years of service to help provide that ONE degree of difference!
