Dafna Laurie, LAC

In the 20 years that I have received acupuncture, Dafna is among the best! I was referred to her through a mutual friend over 5 years ago and continue to be under her care. She has treated and supported me through a variety of medical/​emotional/​nutritional concerns from neck/​shoulder pain, dizzy/​nausea from land sickness, female issues, pregnancy support, hypertension (my bp has dropped significantly!), etc. I respect and admire her knowledge, passion and skill. She is kind. And in today’s world, I hold that in high esteem.

I am so happy that I met Dafna. Her energy and passion for her Chinese practice of acupuncture is a magnetic and sets her in a unique category. Thank you for being so magnificent

What can I say about Dafna??? She’s amazing! I was looking for an acupuncturist and found her on Unilocal.I read all the fantastic reviews and decided to try her out. She called me back immediately after leave a message and she was super sweet. When I met her for my consultation, she had this incredible and sweet energy ands aura about her. She was so engaging and involved with my problems and issues. She took her time and over time, she has truly become my therapist and friend. She’s helped my pain ands also is treating my husband. while her goes through chemo treatment. I can’t say enough wonderful things about her!

I recently attended Dafna’s «Community Acupuncture» clinic a few Saturdays ago. I paid $ 35 for an acupuncture treatment whose protocol was geared towards stress relief – perfect for me! Dafna holds Community Acupuncture monthly and it offers people a reduced-​cost experience with acupuncture – and with Dafna.
The whole experience was well-​organized, comfortable, effective, and didn’t take up too much time. It’s perfect for those with busy schedules because it only takes 30 minutes or so and it is very affordable. Best of all, I didn’t have to make an appointment; I just showed up when it was convenient for me and was treated immediately.
Dafna was so kind, soft-​spoken, and a good listener. She made me feel like I was the only person in the room that mattered (and believe me, it was a full house!)
The Community Acupuncture experience was quiet, dimly-​lit, and relaxing. Dafna took time to talk to each person, explained what she was doing, and really gave uninterrupted, personal attention to everyone.
If you are hesitant about acupuncture or just don’t have time during the week for an extended treatment, her Community Acupuncture is a great, effective introduction to her work!

Love Dafna! Friendly, focused, patient, knowledgeable, honest, gentle, skilled… real. «Acupuncture, Herbs & Personal Evolution» — she helps me with all of these things! Highly recommend!

Having never tried acupuncture before, I was nervous… but I wanted to get my body back in harmony, and I am so glad I found Dafna! I think she had a lot to do with my incredibly smooth pregnancy and I am now seeing her for breastfeeding support. She is a wonderful and bright soul and genuinely cares for her patients. I mention her name to others any chance I get!

Took my girl there for relaxation/​stress relief and she absolutely loved it! She said Dafna took care of her and made sure they didn’t rush anything. My girl’s first impression of acupuncture was NEEDLES NEEDLES NEEDLES! After the session, she wants to do it at least once or twice a month. Dafna left a great impression on her and was very professional! Would highly recommend her as did my girl! The next day she recommended Dafna to 3 co-​workers who are possibly going to try it out!

Dafna understands the human body as an interconnected system.
When I visited Dafna for the first time as her patient, she looked deep into my eyes in a way no other practitioner has ever connected with me until then. Dafna then took plenty of time to learn what was going on in my body and in my life. From the conversation we had, she then formulated her treatment.
The treatment Dafna gave me was comforting and nourishing.
And to talk about results — I ran 6 miles the next day, then, the following week I completed my first Spartan Sprint — I hadn’t been working out for nine months!
I am excited to be treated by Dafna, she’s a genius at what she does.
If you want a brilliant, connected acupuncture master — Dafna Laurie is the woman for you.

Not Sure where to start. I’m a first timer in the acupuncture world and I gotta say It was a bit nervous to think about needles all over my body. My session with Dafna was not bad at all actually, and not to mention the results were just marvelous.
I have had suffered with tachycardia (heart beats way too fast, very umcomfortable) for about 4 years, and the doctors couldn’t pin point the cause. I have a very stress full life style (3 kids, full time job, part time student, run a side business that stared as a hobby) Once I started treatments with Dafna, my life changed, I have not had a tachycardia episode in the last month! OH YEAH!!! My husbands told me I have more Patience, and am doing much better at keeping my life in order.
So, would I recommend Dafna? In a heart beat!
People don’t hesitate, if you have accumulated stress come see Dafna, you will feel the results in the 1^st session!!!

Well what can I say. Dafna is sweetest LAC around. Meet her through Kevin Cressey a chiropractor in the the area. I’ll admit this was my first time at the rodeo though but I can’t imagine having a better experience. She is very thorough, knowledgeable and gentle. Atmosphere is calm and tranquil. I came in to hopefully improve my immune system after being diagnosed with Lymphoma this past year.
I would highly recommend coming here! I left feeling very peaceful and almost thought about selling my motorcycle since I lost almost all of my aggressive nature lol

Delightful Dafna — you are SO lucky if you have discovered her, as I did, at a music festival where she was soothing away the exhausted muscles after walking and working out… it was Wanderlust Festival after all! She also cured a crained neck… aaaahhh
I had never experienced acupuncture before and Dafna was not only amazing but the entire experience was so delightful that I actually wanted to go again and again… too bad for me she was booked the rest of the festival!
Don’t miss an opportunity to book her… you won’t regret it!

Dafna is amazing! She heals with accupuncture, love, and understanding. She has cured me from severe foot pain, menstrual cramps, and fatigue. I always leave sessions with her feeling renewed and refreshed.

Dafna got me pregnant. Well, that may be stretching it but I started out going to her for chronic back pain related to a rare central nervous system condition, and then stayed with her to reduce my anxiety level as I approached my wedding, and lo and behold, I kept on seeing her when my doctor told me I had fibroid tumors that couldn’t be treated by medication. Since I was on the verge of my pregnancy journey with my soon-​to-​be husband, it was important that I work on that and so we did. Now, my back no longer aches, I made it through my wedding without imploding or killing my husband, and my pregnancy is going strong with some much smaller fibroids staying out of the way.
Dafna treated me with respect and compassion, listened to my concerns, and addressed them appropriately. She’s party therapist and part ancient Chinese secret. She became a good friend and I looked forward to being her pin cushion each week because I knew I’d leave her in better shape than when I went in. She was knowledgeable and willing to share her big brain without condescension — only wisdom and reverence for what she does. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

When ever I’m in LA I do my best to find time to get a session with Dafna. The first session I got me hooked. She started with a nice interview to see what’s up and to figure out the best course of treatment. That made me comfortable from the get go, it wasn’t just about sticking needles in me, it was about placing the right needles for the right required results. And she nailed it. When she finally brought me back (as I was in a nice trance — no, I’m not the woo-​woo type) I felt completed clear as if I was more connected to every sound, every sight, every smell. It wasn’t as if everything was amplified, it was just as if I was more aware, more connected, as if I just woke up in Avatar world. All this from one session, I know, it makes you want to just go book an appointment with her now… well now you see why I try to visit with Dafna when in LA.

Dafna is great! A truly caring person who does a great job. I would highly recommend her services!

Dafna is friendly and professional. She creates a relaxing and nurturing experience. I really felt taken care of. It’s easy to see her passion for this work. I highly recommend her!

Dafna is amazing. She is a true healer in every sense of the word. What you get isn’t just acupuncture, but someone who truly cares about your health. She is knowledgeable, caring, and understanding. Her studio in Pasadena/​Altadena is clean, comfortable, and calming. I have nothing but good things to say about Dafna and her work. If you need help with stress, pain, or health issues, she’s your gal. She WILL help you.

She has treated my both my parents for pain issues and they are both very excited about the results. Definitely give her a try if you need acupuncture. Keep in mind you need to go several times to really reap any benefits. My mom has also gone here for a massage and came away very satisfied.

Here’s my suggestion to you:
If you have an ailment — go to Dafna.
If you’ve never tried acupuncture because of _​_​_​_​_​_​— go to Dafna.
If you want to be cared for by someone knowledgeable and professional and with great bedside manner — go to Dafna.
If you’re pregnant — go to Dafna.
If you’re 38 weeks pregnant, your water tears and you’re not experiencing contractions and you don’t want to be induced by a bunch of chemicals because you want to give your baby the best chances to have a blissful start regardless of what goes down in those 41 weeks — go to Dafna.
I guess what I’m saying is, if you want healing by someone with an arsenal of modalities, a compassionate heart and wish to get quantifiable results, go to Dafna Laurie — she’s the real deal.

What a great melody of Professionalism, Tranquility, Intellect, and Balance. When someone can communicate directly and effectively with you in a precise way, you know you have a super star. I’ve had my share of acupuncturist acquaintances thorugh the years as a Chiropractor. Some of them are good and some are not so good. Dafna is GREAT! She gets to the problem and focuses on the solution. She does a proper history without dwelling on less relevant issues. She explains what to expect and how the treatment will help.
If you want a relaxing environment, her location is just so. I felt like I was in a massage therapy session with the low light, peaceful music and calm energy. Then there was the Doctor side of things where she is direct and to the point of helping the problem. If you would like to schedule online, she has that option which is convenient. One more thing… her needles really do note feel uncomfortable. I trust her with my body and that is the body that keeps me in practice. 5 Stars Dafna! Either you have an injury you want to be fixed. Your illness has taken control of your life? Or if simply health, balance, body, mind, and spirit are what you want. Look no further than Pasadena.
