Hello, I am Francis
For over 20 years, I have helped clients achieve long-term wellness and optimize their performance. Today, I am grateful for the opportunity to bridge my decades of experience with a lifelong love for animals, helping both people and their companions live life to the fullest.
"I believe that interacting with animals makes us better people, and that we have much to learn from their resilience and presence."
My Story: From Canada to Amsterdam
The Journey
When I left my hometown in Northern Canada to study chiropractic, I couldn’t have imagined that 25 years later I would be practicing in the heart of the Netherlands. Chiropractic has been part of my life since childhood; its holistic and vitalist philosophy aligns perfectly with my vision of health—viewing the body as an intelligent, self-healing system.
The Evolution
After graduating in 2003, I practiced in Montreal and Paris before settling in Amsterdam in 2007. However, the true turning point came in 2021 when I adopted my dog. Like any pet owner knows, your routine and energy change, but so do you. Spending time with her made me realize I wanted to combine my clinical knowledge with my passion for animals. This led me to the International Academy of Veterinary Chiropractic (IAVC) in Germany, where I specialized in animal chiropractic.
Grounding & Nature
In my free time, you’ll find me outdoors—hiking, skiing, or paddleboarding with my dog. Whether it’s the Wadden Islands or the Veluwe, I believe the healing power of nature is the ultimate way to recharge. Just as I help animals find balance in their bodies, nature helps me find balance in my life.
If you have any questions or want to know how your pet can benefit from chiropractic, feel free to contact me.
