One Sheep, Two Sheep, Three Sheep, Four….

 Chronic Insomnia is a heavy burden to carry. A night of poor sleep guarantees irritability, poor memory, and/or nagging fatigue the next day. What if you had insomnia for 8 years? How would the a good night’s sleep change your life?  Read my patient’s account of her struggle with, and resolution of, chronic insomnia:

I am a 71-year old woman in generally good health, but for eight years I suffered from chronic insomnia and tried every possible Western medical treatment to alleviate this condition. I have, for example, been to an accredited sleep clinic, had the sleep apnea test (which found no sleep apnea problem), been to two sleep psychologists (no help), as well as to another psychologist specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy, which was helpful for a short time. A variety of relaxing tapes did help somewhat, particularly tapes on authigenic training and subliminal messages, but they did not provide a consistent and permanent alleviation of my insomnia.

Following only one week of treatment from her, I began to sleep well and can now honestly say I sleep between six and eight & a half hours each night. Every aspect of my life has changed for the better, thanks to the knowledge, skill and personality of Dr. Rozenn.

I discovered Dr. Rozenn through a workshop she gave on the approaches of Eastern medicine to insomnia. She very skillfully guided me through the concepts of treating insomnia through the connection with digestion and through lowering general stress. She is extremely skillful not only in the practice of acupuncture but also in carefully listening to her patients and gently introducing them to new approaches to a variety of health problems.
