Connie Christie definitely knows what she's doing when it comes to Rolfing & Acupuncture I had an arm injury and I went to her for Rolfing and Acupuncture. I was amazed how much better I felt after just one treatment. I definitely recommend her not only because she is so knowledgeable but she also has gifted hands! Affinity is a cute clean healing space very easy access and a comfortable nurturing environment.
I have seen both Dr Christie and her associate - acupuncturist Denise DuRoss LAC- they are both kind, caring, and knowledgeable! I'm so glad I found Dr Christie. She's helped me immensely with a knee injury. I wholeheartedly recommend you to visit her-you'll be hooked on Dr Christie in ten seconds!

Have you ever felt so not well, always feeling tired and heavy, hard to fall asleep, yet physical exam results show that you are perfectly healthy?
Ying Zhang was in that situation years ago when she worked as a software engineer in the IT industry.
Searching for solutions, she found Chinese Medicine has an answer for her.
Chinese herbs and needles not only healed her body, but turned out to be her calling.
Before enrolling officially into a Chinese Medicine school in Southern California, Ying attended classes and workshops in Beijing to learn about Chinese Medicine extensively.

Microneedling is a very simple, safe, effective and minimally invasive therapeutic technique to create healthier skin.
Also called collagen induction therapy (CIT), microneedling stimulates the body's natural healing process to stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin.
This results in smoother, tighter, more youthful-looking skin.
Resurfacing skin: creating more even skin texture (without the use of heat or invasive lasers involving extended down time, or thinning of the dermal layer).

Rolfing, the original form of structural integration, is the process of unraveling structural and movement patterns to re-align and balance the body in gravity.
This process is done by means of myofascial manipulation and movement education.
Myofascia is the muscles and the network of connective tissue which enwraps the muscles (and organs) and gives the body its shape.
The primary goal is to restore alignment and balance by removing restrictions in the fascia network that inhibit the balance of the major segments of the body in relationship to the central line of the body.

Dr. Christie may use BEMER sessions as a stand alone or an adjunct to enhance a treatment depending both on needs of her client and her own sense of what will work best to serve those needs.
In general, BEMER is a pain free, relaxing 8-16 minute application used for well-being, improved blood flow and physical fitness.

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!

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 !

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!

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

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.

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!
