Edison is one of our clinic’s therapy dogs in training. Edison was lucky enough to spend a year and a half as Marley’s intern where he adopted his wonderfully chill nature. Edison takes his role as clinic greeter quite seriously and ensures you feel the most comfortable during every stage of your TMS treatment – you may just have to fight him for a spot in the TMS chair! Edison can’t wait to meet you!

Gus is one of our clinic’s therapy dogs in training. Although he is the youngest and most recent hire, Gus has been coming to Optimind since he was only 8 weeks old and has a naturally sensitive and calm temperament. Gus can tell right away who needs a bit of extra love and thankfully for all of us he also seems to have an endless supply to give – for nothing but a belly rub in return! Gus can’t wait to meet you!

The man who started it all. Marley was a Saint John’s Ambulance certified Therapy Dog who not only served as inspiration for the idea of Optimind but provided Therapy and love since its inception and our very first client. Marley represented everything we value so deeply at Optimind and had a special kindness towards clients that is impossible to teach. He supported both us and our clients from the most challenging to the most happy days. We all miss this sweet boy very much but aim to carry on his legacy every day.
