Christi Alsop, DOM

Dr. Alsop received her first acupuncture treatment at age 14. She believes the effectiveness of these treatments allowed her to enjoy an allergy-free young adult life, which inspired her to pursue a career in Oriental Medicine.Dr. Alsop maintained a large practice in Las Cruces, NM before returning to Santa Fe, where she began working with Dr. Alix Bjorklund at Women’s Health Services. This deeply positive interaction resulted in her joining Dr. Bjorklund’s practice in 2000. Since then, Dr. Alsop has focused on women’s health, fertility, and pediatric issues. 

 

She has three children of her own, each of whom has received the benefit of her treatments and whose 

responses have helped to inform the choices she makes in her practice. She remains steadfast in her belief that a combination of acupuncture and herbs can be highly effective in treating a variety of childhood ailments 

including colic, common colds and flu, allergies both airborne and food based, asthma, and migraines. In 

adults, she has had success in alleviating back pain and overcoming digestive disorders.

 

Her practice incorporates elements of both Japanese and Chinese therapy, moxibustion, nutritional instruction and homeopathy. 

 

When not working, she loves spending time with her children and animals, exploring Santa Fe and the 

surrounding areas.
