Introduction: Sleep is an essential aspect of our well-being, as crucial as proper nutrition and regular exercise. It is during our deepest cycle of REM sleep that true healing occurs. In this blog, I would like to share a remarkable case study of a client who battled chronic insomnia and brain fog after experiencing COVID-19. At the brink of desperation, she sought help and found relief through a unique combination of therapies. This story serves as a testament to the power of targeted treatments in addressing sleep disturbances and related emotional symptoms.
The Struggle with Insomnia: Meet our client, whose image is depicted here. She endured months of sleepless nights, struggling with insomnia and the frustrating inability to quiet her mind. To make matters worse, her battle with COVID-19 left her grappling with persistent brain fog. She had exhausted various remedies, including melatonin, with little to no improvement. Desperate for a solution, she approached us for assistance.
Unraveling the Puzzle: Understanding the complexity of insomnia, we delved into the underlying causes affecting our client's sleep patterns. Through a comprehensive assessment, we discovered that specific acupuncture points were overactive, contributing to her sleeplessness during certain periods. In her case, her lungs and liver points were particularly affected. With this knowledge, we devised a tailored treatment plan to address these overactive points, providing relief from her insomnia.
Gentle Therapies for Restful Sleep: The treatment process was swift and non-invasive, involving the use of a cranial structural technique to alleviate the brain fog and restore mental clarity. Additionally, we recognized the impact of emotional stress on sleep quality, and thus, worked to identify and clear any underlying emotional stressors that were contributing to her sleeplessness. Only after addressing these factors did we proceed with a soothing deep tissue massage, further promoting relaxation and well-being.
The Power of Targeted Treatments: In just one session, our client experienced a significant shift in her sleep patterns and cognitive function. Insomnia symptoms subsided, and the brain fog began to dissipate. By focusing on the specific acupuncture points, alleviating emotional stressors, and providing therapeutic massage, we were able to offer her relief that had eluded her for months. This case illustrates that treating insomnia and related emotional symptoms can be accomplished through targeted interventions, eliminating the need for prolonged dietary changes, extensive exercise routines, or reliance on medication alone.

While massage therapy is an integral part of our practice, we recognize that without addressing underlying sleep disturbances, the benefits of massage may be limited.
