Today, I have two beautiful healthy twin boys. But when I first visited the Texas Center for Reproductive Acupuncture in the fall of 2004, I had been going through years of fertility problems and too many devastating miscarriages. I'd already started seeing a fertility specialist and my doctors were doing all they could to help us start our family. However, I thought Oriental medicine could help support my Western medicine treatments. I'd tried another Austin acupuncture clinic previously, but was searching for an acupuncture practitioner who could offer more open communication and support for my problems. Fortunately I found TCRA, and Kirsten fit the bill perfectly.

Kirsten and David were extremely thorough and detailed in assessing my past health issues, which was so important when dealing with such a personal medical history as mine. I ended up having about 10 weeks of acupuncture and daily herbal tea therapy that was done to coordinate with my doctor's treatments. In addition to that, and perhaps just as important, Kirsten also gave me a better understanding of how my diet affected my body and how I could also adjust my nutrition to improve and balance my overall health. She was so informative and supportive regarding women's health, I wished that I had found her sooner.

Ultimately, our sons were born summer of 2005, and the joy our new family brings myself and my husband is indescribable. For any woman struggling to have a baby... it can be an unbelievably rough journey. I feel my acupuncture helped support me on my journey, and perhaps even helped bring my boys into this world.
