Hi! My name’s Savannah, and trust me, writing this bio feels a bit grandiose. But writing about myself in the third person felt even less authentic, so here goes!

 

Here are the highlights of my professional career:

• Bachelor of Science with honours - Acadia University

• Doctor of Chiropractic - New Zealand College of Chiropractic

• Certified Animal Chiropractor ​​- International Academy of Veterinary Chiropractic

• Founder and operator of Auckland Animal Chiropractic

 

Some of the nonprofessional highlights include:

• Riding two horses solo through Mongolia

• Camping on the Great Wall while on break from teaching sciences in China

• Backpacking/hitchhiking through South America

• Fighting through a separated shoulder and winning a gold medal in BJJ (66kg white belt division, no big deal)

 

I grew up in Beachburg but have spent much of my adult life abroad. Some of that time was spent traveling, but a significant amount of time and effort went into gaining the skills to help both people and animals (as long as they have a spine!).

 

This profession was modelled for me throughout my childhood — I have a human chiropractor dad and a veterinary chiropractor mom. They both continue to work and have shown me what an incredible honour it is to serve your community. I’m thrilled to be back and to have the opportunity to build a place where I can help animals and their humans feel and function at their best.
