About me
It all started when...I was 20 years old, and I couldn't walk without a cane. I had been an active teen, a state tennis champ, but once I went off to college, everything started falling apart. Doctors diagnosed me with MS, an autoimmune disease that would slowly break my body down over time. I felt hopeless. Eventually, a friend introduced me to acupuncture. It changed my life. Using nutrition, herbs, and lifestyle changes helped rebuild my body and put my disease into remission. I was able to walk again, to run, to surf. Thanks to this simple, natural treatment, I've been able to live my life symptom-free as a mother, clinician, and entrepreneur. My experience inspired me to bring the same kind of help and healing to other people. I have applied this approach with thousands and thousands of women. This isn't a magic pill or some kind of miracle. It is a systematic approach to figure out why the body is struggling, and to create a highly customized plan to address your individual needs. At TCRA, we use unique, natural interventions to help make your body stronger than the condition that is preventing you from getting pregnant. It's a system that leaves you healthier than when you started, and helps restore balance, not just to your reproductive system, but to you entire life. Everyone's journey to build a family is different. Wherever your path takes you, the Texas Center for Reproductive Acupuncture can help. I truly hope you'll allow us to be your partner on that journey. Here's to Hope, Kirsten Karchmer, MSOM, LAc (FABORM) TCRA Founder & Clinical Director
