The Community Clinic at Shakti

With great pleasure, Shakti in the Mountains is excited to invite you to The Community Clinic. This monthly clinic was created to address the need for accessible and loving care - a way to support people who are experiencing stress, fatigue, anxiety, and melancholy as well as body aches and pains.

Group healing environments offer a unique experience. Each participant is creating an exponential connection to their community, while sharing a space that also allows for intimacy with their practitioner. All personal details are held with respect and privacy to ensure that your treatment remains accessible and individual to you.

Because of the generosity of several healing practitioners, we are able to offer effective and low-cost acupuncture ($10 minimum cash donation) to all those who seek help or who are simply curious. There are no scheduled appointments. Each clinic is drop-in and folks will be treated in order of arrival. You will be informed of your patient rights and asked to sign a waiver to be treated.

Wear loose fitting clothing and please have eaten and be well hydrated prior to your arrival. Looking forward to working with you!

✨ Bae Parker, L.Ac., Dipl. L.Ac.

Owner/Practitioner at BaeLeaf Acupuncture

I know the human body to be a remarkable vehicle for change. The energetic design of the human body and how it interacts within the laws of nature, support my underlying belief that in order to achieve true wellness, it is essential to understand the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies as a whole.

I have witnessed first-hand the powerful potential of Chinese Medicine when I treat the patient as symbiotic to the physical environment. My approach to care includes re-establishing a balance of the laws of nature, restoring the innate intelligence within the physical body, and allowing the patient to become an active participant in restoring health within.

✨ Chantel Brooks, Dipl. O.M., L.Ac.

Licensed acupuncturist and owner of Lotus Chinese Medicine.

My journey with Chinese medicine actually started as a patient. At one point in my life, I struggled with my health and mobility, and Chinese medicine completely changed my life. It helped me walk again, and that experience is what inspired me to become an acupuncturist and help others on their own healing journeys.

I’ve now been practicing for 8 years, and I love helping people feel better in a natural, supportive way. My goal is always to create a calm space where patients feel comfortable, listened to, and informed about their health. I’m passionate about getting to the root of what’s going on instead of just covering up symptoms, and I believe healing looks different for everyone.

Outside of the clinic, I enjoy adult coloring, slowing down, and finding balance in everyday life — something I encourage my patients to do too.
