Special Guest
Dr. Brooke Deschamps
Doctor of Chiropractic, Certified Animal Chiropractor 
Leaps & Bounds Animal Chiropractic 

Dr. Brooke grew up in a small rural community in Southwestern Ontario, with a house full of four-legged family members. From a very young age, she had an immense love of all animals and aspired to one day work with them. 

She attended Dalhousie University for her undergraduate studies in Biology and Business, with the goal of becoming a veterinarian. While volunteering at countless vet clinics, the SPCA, and other animal shelters - she realized that it wasn’t the path for her. 

After becoming inspired by an Anatomy Professor (a local Chiropractor), she discovered Animal Chiropractic while discussing alternative options to help her Golden Retriever, Max, regain strength in his hind end. She immediately applied to the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) with a new goal in sight. 

While completing her clinical internship at St. Michael’s Hospital, Dr. Brooke had the privilege of being one of two students accepted into the Veterinary Chiropractic Learning Centre’s Animal Chiropractic course. Upon graduation from CMCC, she opened the doors to Leaps & Bounds Animal Chiropractic, as out of her home in Stouffville in 2018.
