Acupuncture Medical Center
“In 2013, a traumatic brain injury changed my life in ways I never expected. As an ER nurse, I was used to caring for trauma patients not being one. While I recovered enough to return to work, sleep never truly returned. For over a decade I struggled with insomnia, fatigue, and the feeling that my body could never fully relax.
Then came years of profound loss, including the death of my brother on the very first day of COVID lockdown. As a hospital leader throughout the pandemic, I spent the next several years helping patients, families, nurses, and respiratory therapists navigate an unimaginable crisis. By the end, I was exhausted, emotionally drained, and stuck in a constant state of stress that I couldn’t seem to escape.
After trying medications , hormone replacement therapy, natural remedies, exercise, yoga and countless other approaches, I began to wonder if this was simply how life would be from now on.
That’s when I found Berry at Acupuncture Medical Center. From our first conversation, I felt heard and understood. Berry explained how both my brain injury and years of chronic stress were impacting my nervous system and sleep.
Within a few weeks of treatment, I noticed I could fall asleep more easily when I woke during the night. Soon after, I experienced something I hadn’t had in years; multiple nights of 6-7 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
An unexpected benefit was the improvement in my daytime energy and mental clarity. The afternoon crashes, fatigue, and word-finding difficulties that had become part of daily life have significantly improved. I’m more productive, thinking more clearly, and finally hopeful again.
We’re only halfway through my treatment plan, and I’m excited to see what’s next. For the first time in over a decade, I feel like I’m getting my life back.
Thank you Berry & team!”
