I should preface my review by saying that I was raised in a western medicine family: my grandfather was a doctor, my grandmother a nurse, my father a doctor, my mother a physical therapist, my aunts are both nurses etc. So, understanding and reaching out to eastern medicine practices, like acupuncture, tested my belief system and that of my family's. But, I was a 30-year-old woman, completely healthy, physically active and diagnosed with ""unexplained infertility"" after 2 1/2 years of trying naturally followed by 4 rounds of Femara treatment at my OB/GYN's office and finalized by an exam from a renowned fertility specialist in Austin. I had no obvious fertility problems according to the Drs. So just before we embarked on the $25,000 attempt at more aggressive fertility treatment, we decided to try the TCRA. My initial visit with Kirsten left my slightly crestfallen in that she said I needed 3 months of ""not trying"" to get my body in optimum shape to conceive. I'd already waited so long, I wanted a baby now. But then she explained the reasons, and it all seemed to make sense, I trusted her. We followed the program for 3 months and conceived - accidentally and totally naturally - in the third month. Now, I'm about to deliver in 3 weeks. I've returned to TCRA for help during my first trimester with issues of digestion, morning sickness and allergies and now I'm back again addressing issues of swelling, indigestion and labor preparation. All the practitioners at TCRA are kind, willing to answer even the stupidest of questions, and very explanatory about all the details of the process and even how acupuncture is meant to help. I swear by TCRA.
