==Early years==
Brooks was born in Washington, D.C. in 1938. She was the only child of an alcoholic mother and a Navy captain father.〔 When she was 10, her parents divorced and her father sent her to a Catholic boarding school in Key West, Florida.〔 At the age of 11, she decided to become a nun.〔
Brooks became a Roman Catholic nun of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary in 1955 at the age of 17.〔〔Donald C. Carlson and Erin N. Syers, Journal of the Student National Medical Association, September 17, 2010, retrieved on March 8, 2012, (I am SNMA: Sister Anne Brooks, D.O. )〕 That same year, Brooks was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.〔 She was told that she would be on crutches or in a wheelchair the rest of her life.〔 Nonetheless, she attended Barry University in Miami, Florida and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in elementary education.〔 She then taught at Catholic schools in Florida, and volunteered at drug rehabilitation clinics and abused women centers, among other places.〔 While volunteering at a free clinic in 1972, she met Dr. John Upledger, who treated her for her arthritis.〔〔 Inspired by Dr. Upledger, and at his urging, Brooks started medical school at Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine at the age of 40, finishing in 1982.〔〔Spartan Sagas, Michigan State University, retrieved on March 8, 2012, (Sister Anne Brooks )〕
During her fourth year of medical studies, Brooks took a month off and traveled to Georgia, Louisiana, Florida, and Mississippi, because according to her, "there were a couple of things I wanted to know. One of them was how as a nun, with a vow of poverty, how do I run a practice?"〔 After returning to Michigan, she wrote letters to towns in Mississippi that might need a doctor.〔 Tutwiler was the only town that answered Brooks〔 and in the summer of 1983, she opened the Tutwiler Clinic.〔
