Proud to Serve Spicewood & the Surrounding Communities

Our Clinic

Karma Zen Acupuncture is located in the Bee Creek Business Park in a serene spot on Texas Highway 71 in Spicewood, where it borders Lakeway and Bee Cave. As Spicewood continues to grow, we are happy to be a part of this wonderful community and to support people’s health using a natural approach with an ancient medicine that has withstood the test of time. Our acupuncturist is Dr. Katrina Giangarra, DACM., L.Ac., Dipl. O.M. She loves the serene nature and scenic beauty of the Spicewood area, and she wanted to start her practice here because she saw an opportunity to make acupuncture more accessible to the community. She loves seeing the positive impact acupuncture has on her patients, an impact she has also experienced firsthand.

Helping People in the Community

Acupuncture transformed Dr. Katrina’s life after a back injury, and she is dedicated to using acupuncture to help as many people as she can in the same way. She has treated patients ranging from several-months-old to those in their nineties. Acupuncture treats a vast array of conditions and can be used in conjunction with other forms of medicine. In addition to acupuncture, Dr. Katrina utilizes cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, herbal medicine, and nutritional counseling. At Karma Zen Acupuncture, the focus is on helping patients get better by seeing each person as an individual and not as a sum of their signs and symptoms. Patients come in seeking relief from chronic pain, anxiety, depression, insomnia, debilitating migraines, cedar fever, neuropathy, hormonal imbalances, digestive disorders, and so much more. They often continue treatments because they experience additional benefits from acupuncture and enjoy having the time to relax and even nap while being treated.

Where We Got Our Name

Karma Zen Acupuncture is named for Dr. Katrina’s grandfather, whose last name autocorrected to “Karma Zen” in her phone. While the idea of naming her clinic based on autocorrect was humorous (and reflective of her grandfather’s sense of humor), she reflected upon how she valued the principles of Karma – one’s deed and actions can have an effect on one’s fate and destiny – and how acupuncture had helped her achieve a greater state of enlightenment or Zen. Dr. Giangarra saw the appearance of the words Karma Zen together as a sign from her ever-supportive and loving grandfather for what to name her clinic. Her grandfather was one of her biggest supporters growing up and taught her such values as honesty, integrity, and respect, values she strives to live up to and holds dear to her heart.

"I can’t say enough about Katrina and her skills as an acupuncturist. I had major scoliosis surgery done 8yrs ago. Since then I have been suffering with daily pain in my SI joint area. I decided to try acupuncture to see if it could help. By my second appointment I was feeling like a different person. I literally had no pain in that area! Although I need to keep up with my treatment I can honestly say that was the first time I didn’t feel pain in years! I highly recommend seeing Katrina. She is a wealth of knowledge regarding Eastern medicine and it’s also an opportunity to relax and recharge in a soothing environment."

"It was about twenty-four hours after my first experience with Acupuncture to combat chronic allergies and rhinitis when noticed I hadn't sneezed in that amount of time.  She said it would help, and she knows what she's talking about and what she's doing!  Thanks, K!"

 

- Ned B.

"Katrina is a wealth of information and compassion. I first visited her acupuncture studio on a recommendation from a friend. I had never tried acupuncture and cupping before, but a testy elbow problem had been keeping me up at night. More than relieving the pain associated with the elbow, I needed to get a good night’s sleep again! After my first treatment, the pain abated, and mobility and strength improved progressively week after week. I’d say by the third or fourth weekly session the elbow was a non-issue. I continue to go to Katrina at Karma Zen for general wellness. I always leave much calmer and more collected than when I arrive."

 

- Jen M.

"As somewhat of a  "newbie" to the practice I was not sure what to expect from the session(s). I am now months into my scheduled weekly sessions and can feel the positive effects from those. Originally, the minor to worse aches and pains (hips, back, shoulders) were my focus in the treatment plan that Katrina helped me with. Now those  aches are minimizing. What I didn't expect  was how I responded to how acupuncture in the mental side of therapy, a sort of energy and mental shifting treatment. I love  how it helps me handle stress, to relax, motivating me in my exercise regimens and overall, the calming effects it supports and promotes. Katrina is a gifted practioner and is awesome!!Thanks! Mike"
