Wow, what a pleasant experience. From the time I walked back thru beautiful flowers and plants to the peaceful setting of the clinic. Dr. Christie really listened to me and my concerns. I felt like a new person after my session and I can't wait to go back. read more

Ahhh I feel so much better after my appointments with Dr Christie and Shawn. I couldn't recommend them enough. Love that it's a small business run by a woman as well. I've seen them for more than a year for a variety of issues and have been relieved after every appointment. read more

I have been going weekly for the last two months and my body has never felt better. Every time I leave my appointment, I feel like a new person. I have seen Shawn and Connie -- both are amazing. Highly recommend you go here! read more

After receiving Neuro Emotional Treatments and homeopathic treatments, I've noticed a significant increase in my overall well-being. It's a journey I was curious about as I'd never experienced either. I highly recommend Dr. Christie and her team. read more

Only had one treatment so far but just wanted to say how amazing her technique is. I get acupuncture often, and from many different practitioner, and points that would normally be very painful for me I couldn't even feel them go in. I also noticed that my sinuses cleared up right away. Looking forward to more sessions with Dr Christie! read more

This is a space for healing. The first time I went to Affinity Acupuncture I had many issues that needed to be addressed as I had neglected them to the point where I could barely walk anymore. I didn't expect to be pain free overnight, but I was committed to trying. I have had the pleasure of working with both Kristin and Shawn and both have been such nurturing and skilled practitioners. They communicate with each other and I highly recommend both as they each have their own special magic. The thing I love the most is that they make such an effort to make me feel safe, comfortable and taken care of. During the course of my ongoing treatment I suddenly got a new extremely painful injury. It was amazing how they incorporated this new ailment into my current regime and I am so happy to say that I am now pain free! read more

I am new to the area so I needed to establish care with an alternative medicine practitioner. I chose Affinity because it was close and I got an appointment very quickly. I had 4 acupuncture treatments with Kristen Price and each visit turned out to be relief beyond my expectations. I have chronic bursitis and osteoporosis in my hip which is functioning much better now. I felt strength in my legs that I hadn't felt in a long time. Each week I brought in different complaints and was also pleasantly surprised with the results. I am very happy to have alternative health care I can count on over the coming years. read more

Dr. Christie is AMAZING! I've had neck issues since I was 9 or 10 and she helped relieve some of the worst pain I've felt in the 30 years since I hurt myself. I was a a skeptic about acupuncture but no more and Dr. Christie is the reason why. She even squeezed me in for a session on my back after a 2 day move and I was in my kitchen dancing a couple hours later. I can't say this enough Dr. Christie is AMAZING! read more

WHAT NEGATIVITY! I saw two acupuncturists there. They both wasted much appointment time criticizing what other doctors & healthcare practitioners were doing for me. It was a cringe because these acupuncturists had no idea what they were talking about medically so were giving me wrong advice. Dr. Christie made fun of the instructions the G.I. doctor gave me, which clearly she didn't have the education to understand. Ditto for the other acupuncturist who repeatedly told me my physical therapy exercises were wrong. Well, I never asked their opinion, and as licensed acupuncturists, it is not legal for them to comment on other medical care. But how do you say that to someone who is sticking needles into your tender body parts? You can't when you are the vulnerable patient being worked on. I ignored them and hoped it would stop. Nope. Every appointment i had to listen to their barrages of confusing, annoying, wrong medical advice along with inappropriate, intrusive questions that seemed purely voyeuristic. I complained -- Could I just have some relaxing acupuncture and be on my way? Nope. Dr. Christie gave me an ultimatum - accept all the unlicensed, uneducated medical advice or she would cancel my appointment, which she did soon there after. Whoops, I never should have given them the benefit of the doubt and returned after that first appointment. Clearly patient comfort and quality care is not on their agenda. read more

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 your care team! read more

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 your insurance doesn't cover accupuncture 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 help you too. read more

When western medicine has its shortcomings and you need someone that will listen and address your immediate pain and discomfort, this is the place to go. This woman truly has healing hands and really tries to get to the source of the problem. Dr. Christie has successfully treated me through my 1st pregnancy 3 years ago, first for sciatica and then when I dealt with painful fibroids where I could barely walk. It was the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. During that time, I went to her for acupuncture every week and the pain went away with her help before I delivered. After 2 babies, I stopped going for a while because of they no longer accepted my insurance. I decided to go back recently for my allergies and rolfing. I always feel better after leaving her office. She is experienced, she knows what she is doing and cares that your condition improves. And of course, she hires good people to work with her. You have to be receptive to needles if you do acupuncture. I would give Affinity my highest recommendation and especially to Dr. Christie. read more

I am so grateful to have found Dr. Christie. I have visited many times and after every visit I feel so fantastic. My pain is disappearing right before my very eyes! The first time I came to her was to treat a persistent annoying, nagging, sharp pain in my upper right back. I had suffered with this for almost one year.. and had tried everything. One session with Dr. Christie - bam! It was dispersed after the very first treatment! Joy! Now, I've been seeing her on a regular basis for maintenance and it is working brilliantly. HIGHLY recommend and I have seen many chiropractors, 4 different LA Rolfer and thousands of massage. Accupuncture and cupping really work! I am a big fan of Rolfing too! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Wait, I can right here. 10 ********** stars Dr. Christie is amazing, go see her and change your life! read more

Dr. Christie is really good at what she does. I'm fortunate to have found her. I wanted to try Rolfing, and I found our sessions together to be very revealing and therapeutic. In the course ten sessions, I experienced relief from chronic pain that massage and chiropractic had no lasting effects on. I'm impressed folks. Since finishing the Rolfing series, I'm still a loyal customer for acupuncture and Bemer sessions. Dr. Christie is the kind of practitioner you want in your corner. Not only is she nurturing in nature, her knowledge and proficiency in a variety of fields make her indispensable. read more

Have had nothing but great experiences with both Dr Christie and Denise. Highly recommend them! They know what they are doing. I always feel better after my treatments and unlike some other local acupuncturist I went to before finding them, they get right to work rather than wasting half your appointment waiting or analyzing you. They do a thorough job, in a calm, clean, caring environment. Dr. Christie's treatments are spot on and Denise combo acupuncture & cupping techniques are just perfect! If you are looking for a place you can trust for quality care look no further. I'm being treated for herniated disc, pinched nerves and carpal tunnel. My only regret is I didn't find them sooner. They are the best ! read more

I discovered Affinity Acupuncture & Rolfing through Groupon. I had been wanting to try Rolfing for awhile, but hesitant to try it based on things I'd heard about Rolfing through friends. I decided to give it a try when I saw Dr. Christie's groupon offer for 1/2 hour acupuncture & 1/2 hour Rolfing session. On my first visit, Dr. Christie was warm and welcoming. She did a great job of evaluating my problem areas (chronic shoulder and neck pain) and recommending solutions. In that 30 minute Rolfing session she was able to quickly identify and work out a lot of the tension in my upper back. It was intense at times, but the release in my muscle and tissue felt amazing afterwards. I was so impressed with the results I decided to proceed with the full series. Now, I am almost done with the Rolfing 10 series and I feel great. Dr. Connie Christie is very experienced and knowledgable about Rolfing and Acupuncture. She really listens to her patient's feedback and uses her experience to come up with creative treatments. She answers all the questions I have during my sessions and explains what she's doing and why she is doing it. In my recent sessions she's combined both Rolfing and trigger acupuncture to help get a deeper relaxation in the muscles and tissue. And, since I practice yoga she's used Rolfing to help me go further in yoga poses that had been very difficult for me prior to Rolfing. I've had both my chiropractor, yoga teachers and massage therapists tell me that there is a change in my body since I started Rolfing, too. If you've ever wanted to experience Rolfing (or acupuncture) I would definitely recommend Dr. Christie. read more

Affinity is a cute clean healing space very easy access and a comfortable nurturing environment. I have seen both Dr Christie and her associate -- accupuncturist Denise DuRulo LAC-- they are both kind, caring, and knowledgeable! I was previously a little "meh" on acupuncture. Because of the great care I have received from these healers I really see a difference and have committed to having acupuncture regularly as part of my own"wellness" regimen. It's really been a great overall health tonic! Helped me in so many ways :) read more

Excellent care! Dr. Christie (and the entire staff) is caring, thoughtful, kind, and professional. I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure early 2019 as well as liver issues from an underlying genetic disorder and my optometrist recommended I pair Western medicine with Eastern medicine to throw everything possible at my recovery plan. I had always been curious about acupuncture but had not tried it before. I was somewhat nervous on my first visit but Dr. Christie was so warm and attentive listening to my long list of health concerns and explaining how acupuncture works and what she recommends as a treatment plan. I have been going to Affinity Acupuncture weekly in addition to seeing my Cardiologist and adhering to a prescription medicine plan and have seen big improvements in my health. In addition to being more calm and a large reduction in anxiety my heart ejection fracture has improved from 21% to 32% to 42% to 46% (55%+ is normal) since April and my liver health has improved as well per my recent blood tests. I highly recommend acupuncture and Affinity to help anyone on their wellness journey and can attest that it has helped me greatly. read more

As a wellness junkie, I have to say I have never "stuck" to acupuncture UNTIL NOW. I just did not experience the benefit. Both Dr. Christie and Denise are superb at really listening, caring and treating (releasing) your pain with multiple modalities. I am finding pain release from my body, from age-old sports injuries, stress and hormonal changes that I was beginning to accept and now I KNOW I don't have to. read more

I am so happy I found this place and Dr. Christie! I would recommend her to anyone who has stress in their life, so--everyone! I have chronic pain in my lower back/right hip that developed about a year ago. She worked magic on the tension in my shoulders and hips. I had a Rolfing session and then acupuncture, and the combination was out of this world relaxing! The Rolfing session eased a lot of tension in my lower body and I could feel the difference afterward with improved range of motion and fluidity of movement. I will definitely try to schedule a longer session next time so she can spend more time on my neck and shoulders. I can't stand hospital needles, so I tend to be a tiny bit nervous when getting acupuncture, but she made me feel very comfortable and she turned out to be one of the best acupuncturists I've ever encountered. I am definitely going back! read more

I initially came to Connie with a middle finger pain issue. Acupuncture helped cure my middle finger pain from rock climbing. Now, I come to Connie when I am sick or just need a tune up. I am currently pregnant and all the treatments she uses help my pregnancy symptoms. I even got my husband to come to her when he had major shoulder pain from rock climbing. We love Connie! She is so informative, thorough, and has warm energy! read more

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, personalized treatments. read more

Dr.Christie is an absolute gift to our world and I would highly, highly recommend her. She makes each patient feel as though they are the most important person and is so focused, present, kind, warm and knowledgeable. My husband and I have been seeing her for several months and have had tremendous results (myself, female and mental health/my husband, pain). I didn't know how much acupuncture would change my life for the better and Dr.Christie has been there every step of the way!! Go see her now, she's just the best! read more

Denise is seriously a miracle worker. After suffering with chronic back pain for nearly a year and trying everything in the book to fix it, I decided to give cupping a try. After two sessions, the pain was completely gone and hasn't returned since. I am still in shock and can't believe I didn't try this sooner! Highly recommend this place! read more

I love Connie's acupuncture treatments. They are gentle and relaxing and resolve my problems. Her combined knowledge of Rolfing, Chinese medicine and nutrition allow her to provide excellent primary care. She cured my carpal tunnel in 3 treatments. My friend sees her at UCLA but in her own clinic she prescribes Chinese herbal medicine and does magical therapeutic massage. I have been having acupuncture for 22 years. And as a practitioner, she is a standout! I'm happy! You will be too! read more

My relative just visited this office and is doing remarkably better after only 2 visits! She had hip trouble after a car wreck and has been trying everything for it since 2011 after a car wreck. She doesn't yelp so I am giving her review for her. She said that she had rolphing done and that Dr. Christie made her feel comfortable and that she was extremely comforting and has really been able to help her more than physical therapy, chiropractic or massages. She highly recommends seeing Dr. Christie because she has more movement and mobility and less pain than she has had since 2011. She plans to continue more treatments but is amazed after 2 visits with how much movement she has in her hip and back that was locked up. She stated that Dr. Christie's knowledge of the body is remarkable and that she is so patient and actually listens to what you say where most doctors do not but she actually listens to what you say and how you feel. She has so much compassion and with her knowledge and compassion she is an amazing doctor! She hasn't stopped talking about this place since her visits!! read more

First time having acupuncture and Denise was great. Very knowledgeable, she took her time, and she explained everything thoroughly. I'm trying to wean off pain medications due to post surgical pain and Acupuncture has really helped control the pain in only 2 treatments. Easy street parking. Friendly front desk staff. I definitely will return. read more

I have been seeing Connie for almost 2 years now, and she is a wonderful practitioner. She is concerned about my well-being and is always looking for me to improve. In addition, the Rolfing sessions are an amazing complement to the wonderfully relaxing and effective acupuncture sessions. read more

I'm so glad I found Dr Christie. She's helped me immensely with a knee injury (and compensatory issues from the knee injury) and a lot of the stress that's come with the injury. I also really look forward to my sessions because she is always so easy to talk to and listens to what's going on in my life and sees me more than just an injury but a whole body and mind to treat. She's so much more than an acupuncturist! She has competitive techniques and cutting edge technologies that she incorporates into our sessions. I whole heartedly recommend you to visit her--you'll be hooked on Dr Christie in ten seconds!! read more

Dr. Christie is a godsend and I couldn't be more grateful to have been treated by her for the past 3 years. I came to her in desperation with debilitating menstrual pain so bad I landed in the ER a few times. I suffered for years and had tried everything. Long story short, through her Acupunture and herbal supplements, my health has turned around drastically and I still can't believe I don't have to suffer like I did. Even better I don't need any pain medications or synthetic hormones. Dr. Christie is a genius at understanding the root cause of illness and takes a compassionate and effective approach to solving it. She truly cares about the patient's health and wellbeing which I find rare. Dr. Christie has also helped my anxiety and neck pain after a traumatic car accident. After each session, I leave feeling extremely relaxed, balanced, and hopeful that I am healing. The greatest gift! read more

Connie is truly interested in your total well-being, mind, body and spirit. She is knowledgeable, thorough and most important, she explains things as she goes along. Definitely give her your full history and be open to different solutions. She's down to earth, hip, and professional. I am trusting her with my rehabilitation after a major surgery nearly three years ago. I've seen many many doctors, dozens of therapists and all sorts of conventional and unconventional healing sources. She diagnosed my problems very quickly and came up with a plan of action. I've never recommended a massage therapist, and have never had rolfing before, but this one is special. Go for it. read more
