About The Texas Center for Reproductive Acupuncture

Texas Center for Reproductive Acupuncture (TCRA) is a reproductive‑acupuncture clinic located in Austin, Texas, specializing in integrative fertility and pregnancy care that blends Traditional Chinese Medicine with conventional IVF/IUI protocols. The center offers natural fertility enhancement, acupuncture for IVF/FET and IUI, targeted treatments for PCOS, endometriosis, diminished ovarian reserve, male factor infertility, recurrent miscarriage, PMS/PMDD, menopause symptoms, and comprehensive pregnancy support including gestational diabetes, labor facilitation and postpartum depression counseling. Unique features include a collaborative approach with reproductive endocrinologists and OB‑GYNs, personalized Chinese herbal formulas, lifestyle and nutrition guidance, and a risk‑free consult that has helped over 10,000 Central Texas women start families, with patient‑reported improvements in cycle regulation and IVF success rates. Founded by Kirsten Karchmer, former President of the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine, the team—led by senior acupuncturist Marisa—provides empathetic, evidence‑based care, regular email follow‑ups, online appointment scheduling, and extensive patient resources, all highlighted in media outlets such as News 8 Austin, The Huffington Post and USA Today.
