ABOUT CHAI
CHAI exists to connect holistic veterinarians – with each other, and with the knowledge you need to succeed.
Whether you describe yourself as practicing complementary, holistic, alternative, or integrative medicine, there’s a place for you at our table.
CHAI is made for holistic veterinarians, by holistic veterinarians. It’s a place to learn and a place to connect; it’s a place to support each other. And it’s all free.
At the heart of CHAI is our community forum, a place to ask questions, find answers, and connect with your colleagues.
We also offer a public directory, providing clients another way to find your practice.
Learning opportunities, from articles to webinars, connect you with the latest developments in our field.
Our practice resources include forms, handouts, and reference materials to help make your job easier.
Whether youR practice is complementary, holistic, alternative, or integrative, there’s a place for you at our table.
We created CHAI as an alternative to social media. Our community is anchored in love.
CHAI is the evolution of a community first created on Facebook, the Holistic Veterinarian-Only Discussion Group, which began in 2016. Dr. LaShelle Easton founded that group as a way to connect with other holistic vets, on a platform many of us were already using regularly.
As time passed, and Facebook altered its algorithm to promote negative, hateful content, it became clear that a group focused on health should convene in a place that was much healthier! The first rule of our group was and is, “Speak with love.”
The first rule of our group was and is, “Speak with love.”
Facebook also made it extremely difficult to access or export earlier conversations, leaving them in control of years’ worth of our accumulated knowledge and discussions.
CHAI arose as a way to take control of our knowledge base and make it available to current and future generations of veterinarians, in a supportive and caring environment.
