Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture regulates body systems by stimulating meridians with fine needles to balance energy flow. This ancient practice alleviates pain, improves hormonal and immune function, and promotes self-healing through enhanced blood circulation and nervous system responses. Patients experience reduced inflammation, improved sleep, and emotional stability.
Rolfing
Rolfing manipulates fascia to realign the body's structure in gravity. This 10-session series improves posture, relieves chronic pain, and enhances movement efficiency. Patients report increased energy, reduced stress, and better body awareness through personalized myofascial manipulation and movement education.
Skincare
Our skincare services combine microneedling, microcurrent, and herbal therapies to improve skin health. Treatments reduce fine lines, acne scars, and sun damage while promoting collagen production. Patients achieve radiant complexions and experience secondary benefits like improved sleep and reduced anxiety through holistic facial therapies.
B.E.M.E.R. Therapy
B.E.M.E.R. Therapy uses pulsed electromagnetic fields to enhance microcirculation and cellular energy. This non-invasive treatment supports tissue regeneration, reduces inflammation, and improves oxygen delivery throughout the body. Patients use it for chronic pain management and overall vitality enhancement.
Applied Kinesiology
Applied Kinesiology assesses muscle function to identify imbalances and guide treatment. This diagnostic tool helps uncover nutritional deficiencies, emotional stressors, and structural misalignments. Practitioners use it to create targeted interventions that restore physical and energetic equilibrium for improved patient outcomes.

Hands down the best acupuncture clinic on the Westside. Dr. Christie is a warm and caring practitioner who listens and does her very best to get you well. I've been seeing her for over 5 years and my life and health has improved tremendously. She offers so many different treatment modalities and thinks outside the box to make sure she is giving you the best care/treatment. I'm so excited about her new skincare options! You won't regret coming to Affinity Acupuncture!

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

Dr. Christie is a great professional but better yet an amazing person. I went to see her for back issues and they have been managed pretty well.

When I found out Dr. Christie was going to start offering skincare treatments, I jumped for joy. I've been seeing Dr. Christie for years now for acupuncture and she's an amazing healer. I've had several skincare treatments and my skin has never been better! Now, she's offering scupltural face lifts!!! Just had my first session and WOW! I can see my jaw line and the hollows of my cheeks. Next up -- microneedling sessions and iS Clinical fire & ice facials.

I feel fortunate to have found Affinity Acupuncture as part of my treatment plan. The care here is compassionate and effective. The safety protocols are in line with what is necessary for in-person healthcare interactions during this pandemic, so I feel safe.
