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!

Dr. Lopes will be away May 13-18 to take a DOULA Course

/0 Comments/in /by
Dr. Lopes has started to read these books, not just because she enjoys treating her pregnant patients, but because she’ll be taking a course starting next week.  From May 13-18 she will be away to take a @donaintl “Combined Birth & Postpartum Doula Training“. So, what is a DOULA anyways?
🤱 First off, a Doula is NOT a regulated health professional, like a Midwife or OBGYN is. A Doula does not have medical training — she’s there to serve as a soothing voice of experience, help with relaxation techniques and breathing exercises, as well as offer advice on labor positions. Many families choose to have a Doula along with their Midwife OR OBGYN, to help offer that extra support.
🤱  DOULA:  “A trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to a mother before, during and shortly after childbirth to help her achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible.”
🤱 She will learn skills necessary to support families during pregnancy, childbirth and through to the first three months postpartum, and will focus on prenatal support, scope of a Birth & Postpartum Doula, normal newborn behaviours and cues, postpartum adjustment, and typical questions and concerns that new families may experience.
🤱 A Doula is a professional pregnancy companion whose goal is to help families have a safe, healthy and positive labour experience.
🤱 Dr. Lopes has a passion for working with her patients during the prenatal & postnatal period, and everything in between.  She plans on using her new found information/skills to help empower mamas and nurture families.
🤱 So, please plan ahead to book around her course dates, if you would like a chiropractic appointment.
🤱 Stay tuned to see how this DOULA journey unravels next week!
