Affinity Acupuncture & Rolfing/Dr. Connie Christie, DAOM, LAc — Local services in Los Angeles

I am SO lucky to have found Dr. Christie. I cannot recommend her more.

I stumbled across her by searching for Acupuncturists in my neighborhood, on the Blue Shield website. I used to get acupuncture weekly, for a couple years, from my best friend, who then moved out of state. It took me a little while to be willing to try anyone else, and I wasn't holding my breath on finding anyone as nurturing, thoughtful, gentle, and effective -- but I totally found her! What a score.

Dr. Christie has helped me heal from a bunch of different body pains resulting from pregnancy and delivery, as well as keeping me grounded in this crazy transition into motherhood, and helping me maintain enough energy to keep from getting sick or depleted. No small task, with the many things tugging on my energy.

I've been going to her every week for 6 months. At first we had a lot of different kinds of pain and deep fatigue to work on, and now my body is feeling GOOD and we get to work on just helping me feel even more energized and awesome, building my reserves so that I can handle whatever stresses come my way without getting sick or injured.

She is a terrific listener, both verbally and physically, and I always leave feeling better than when I arrived. She has a lot of different tools at her disposal, and weaves them together to create inspired,...

I'm suffering from a pinched nerve in my neck which travels across my back, shoulder blade and down my right arm. To date I've tried medications, physical therapy and even an anti-depressant used to also treat nerve pain and found mixed results, but never any lasting relief.

I had to ask Kaiser if I could go to acupuncture and surprise!, they do allow it and will pay for it. I decided to go to Dr. Christie based on her reviews and I'm so glad I did! Within the first treatment I felt a change for the better and with the subsequent treatments I am having some pain-free days now (a miracle, and I don't even take an aspirin) and days that I do have some pain it's a lot less than before. I'm confident now that I'll find total relief under Dr. Christie's care.

Dr. Christie treats the whole you, and she knows what she's doing and has a magic touch. I came in with an open mind and told her just to do what she thinks is best for me. She's intuitive and amazing!

Dr. Christie also does Rolfing and if you don't have a referral ask about the session packages that are available, it makes treatment really affordable and each session in my experience lasts around an hour (yours may be less or more) and it's a calm, welcoming space, and Jodie, her assistant is super nice.

Give Dr. Christie a try! I'm thrilled to have met her and she can...

I love this clinic, especially my acupuncturist there, Shawn! They are so caring at Affinity and I love that they take my insurance – that is the reason I started going to them. Most places that take insurance will only give you the bare minimum and you won’t really feel cared for. This is not so at Affinity! I truly feel that all of the staff there is pulling for my health and well – being. Shawn is so creative in her approaches to my chronic conditions: adrenal fatigue and ocular migraines. These are both tough ones to treat. But she keeps trying new techniques, and we have finally landed on a combo that is making a huge difference for me: a magnetic pad underneath me, cupping, and needles. I leave each session with such a huge surge of energy that has greatly improved the quality of life. And I can tolerate screens more than ever before! I highly recommend Affinity and Shawn in particular. She will be a valuable addition to...
