Awards
2026 Warehouse Spin & Fitness Amazing Athlete Award

Military and Athletic Background
Beyond the clinic, Dr. Leah proudly serves as a Sailor First Class in the Canadian Navy, having joined the Naval Reserves in 2015.
She is BOSN trade qualified (since 2016), trained as a boat and weapons specialist, and continues to balance her service with her healthcare career.
As a professional athlete, she has represented Canada in basketball tournaments across Belgium, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Germany, and China, demonstrating her passion for teamwork, discipline, and peak performance.
An Airdrie mom is proudly representing women and Canada on The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) International Women’s Basketball Team.
Leah Robinson has served 11 years with the CAF as a Boatswain. When she’s not in uniform she is balancing a busy civilian life as a chiropractor and a mother to two young daughters, roles she says fuel her motivation on and off the court.
Robinson credits her success to a mindset built on persistence and self-improvement.
“Always just push your boundaries, keep going, try to be better than you were yesterday. Is the motto that I try to use, and I try to tell it to my girls as well,” she said.
Her basketball journey began long before her military career. Robinson previously played for the University of Prince Edward Island Women's Basketball team where she developed the competitive foundation that would later carry her onto the international stage.
She believes her path shows what's possible through determination.
“If you really want to have something, you got to drive yourself to get there," she said. "I've definitely had ups and downs to get here, and I kept pushing myself, because this is where I wanted to be."
Robinson has been a member of the CAF International Women's Basketball Team since 2016, calling it one of the most rewarding experiences of her life.
“I trained hard and hold myself at a high standard, which has allowed me to, you know, travel the world and meet people all over the world,” she said.
The CAF International Women’s Basketball Team recently competed in the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) International Basketball Tournament 2025 in Belgium, finishing fifth among NATO and allied teams. For Robinson, the opportunity to compete internationally while representing Canada carries deep personal meaning.
“It's always been a dream of mine since I was a little girl," she explained. "I've always wanted to play high-level basketball and represent Canada, so to be able to do that as a woman and represent Canada in the military is also just been a crazy honour."
She also emphasizes the importance of visibility for women in sport and service.
“Women definitely need a little bit more highlight. I believe always representing Canada specifically is just an honour in itself,” she said.
Balancing military service, athletics, motherhood and a healthcare career is no small feat, but Robinson says that each role helps strengthen the others.
“I put in my work, training hard, I represented the military as best as I can," she stated. "And again, not only doing that, I'm representing Airdrie as a chiropractor and a mom as well."
Looking ahead, the CAF International Women's Basketball team is currently preparing for the 2026 Basketball World Military Championships in France. Robinson says the team is determined to build on its recent performance and showcase its growth on the world stage.
For her, the journey is less about competition and more about setting an example.
“I wouldn't have been able to have all the chances I have had to see the world, meet amazing people, represent our beautiful country," she said. "Yeah, that's the best thing I can say. Is just amazing. I love it.”
Dr. Leah Bakke’s Story:
“I never planned to become a doctor,” Dr. Leah reflects, “but life had other plans.
Growing up in a small town in New Brunswick, I remember saying I would never become a doctor. Yet life led me on a nine-year journey that shaped my perspective on physical activity, holistic care, and the powerful impact they can have on people’s lives.
After completing my Kinesiology degree at UPEI, I still wasn’t certain about my career path—only that I wanted to help people. That desire led me to apply to chiropractic college at CMCC. In the beginning, I questioned whether it was truly my calling, but everything changed during my third year when I became pregnant with my first child.
During my pregnancy, I experienced severe back pain that made everyday tasks like walking or getting out of bed difficult. Consistent chiropractic care helped me stay active, continue school, and manage the physical changes that came with pregnancy. Experiencing that support firsthand was a turning point for me.
That experience sparked my passion for helping pregnant and postpartum women. I understand how challenging it can be when pain affects your ability to move and care for yourself or your family.
Beyond pregnancy care, I am passionate about helping people move better and live with less pain. My goal is to support patients of all ages in improving their mobility, preventing injuries, and maintaining overall wellness.
Having seen the benefits of chiropractic care in my own life and family, I’m excited to bring that same support to families in the Airdrie community.

❝I had never been to a chiropractor before and was honestly quite skeptical. I went to see Dr. Leah Robinson because I was struggling with sciatica pain so brutal that I couldn’t even sit. After just one session, she carefully explained everything she was doing and made me feel completely comfortable. The results were incredible — I was able to sit again! While I know my recovery will take time, I already feel so much more confident that I’m on the right track.
I highly recommend Dr. Leah — she is knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly amazing at what she does. I cannot recommend her enough!❞
