Dr. Mélanie LeBlanc grew up in Bathurst, New Brunswick, a small coastal town. She always loved the small town feel and the friendly people that came with it and was excited to get that sense of community again by moving to Powell River. Growing up, she was always active. She started figure skating as soon as she was able to get on the ice at the age of three and fell in love it. She later found other passions in volley ball during high school, yoga while at university, and now aerial silks right here in Powell River. She always loved sciences and had a great interest in the human body growing up, and always wanted to go to medical school and become a doctor. She attended the University of New Brunswick where she graduated with honours in 2014 with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and made the Dean’s list. During her time there, she decided she wanted to help people with a more natural and holistic approach, which led her to chiropractic. Mélanie graduated from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, ON, in 2018. During her internship year, she learned from the brilliant minds of her clinicians at the school’s clinic as well as the Sherbourne Health Center in downtown Toronto to treat her patients with love and care. During her internship year, she was a co-president of the Global Health Initiative club, which raised money for the Global Peace Network and World Spine Care, both of which provide chiropractic care to third world countries. Since graduating, she has continued her education and is certified in the Webster technique (for pregnancy). She also has 50+ hours of continuing education in concussions assessment and treatment and is certified through Complete Concussion Management Inc (CCMI). She has also recently taken an interest in foot health and function. Dr. LeBlanc’s treatments are evidenced-based and tailored to each individual.
