A Life Controlled by Pain

By middle school, the migraines ruled her life. They came almost daily, like a storm she could never escape. Some days, the pain was dull, like a vice tightening around her skull. Other days, it was unbearable—like an ice pick driving through her temples. She spent hours curled up in the dark, pressing her head into pillows, praying for the pain to stop.

Medication helped—for a while. Then, her body adjusted, and the migraines came back even stronger. Doctors increased her dosage, but it was never enough. By high school, the side effects were just as bad as the migraines. The pills made her dizzy, sick, and exhausted. She couldn’t focus in class. She felt like a zombie.

Every morning, she woke up wondering, "Will today be a good day… or will I spend it in bed, unable to move?" By the time she was 14, she had enough. “No more pills,” she told her doctors. “They don’t work.” They warned her: “If you stop, you’ll just have to live with the pain. ”She refused to believe that. There had to be another way.

College: When Things Got Even Worse

Miriah pushed through high school, determined to live a normal life. She earned a scholarship and went off to college to study pre-veterinary medicine. But college made the migraines worse. Stress. Late nights. Endless studying. The pain came back stronger than ever. Some days, it started with a dull throb.

Other days, it hit like a freight train—blinding pain, nausea, vomiting, dizziness. She would sit in class, gripping the desk, trying to hide the fact that she felt like her skull was splitting open. She started missing classes. Cancelling plans. Pulling back from friends. No one understood. "It’s just a headache," people would say. But it wasn’t. It was torture.

The Moment That Changed Everything

Miriah was working at a veterinary clinic when she saw something strange. A veterinarian was treating animals using acupuncture. People brought their pets from all over Minnesota just to see her. One night, Miriah felt the migraine creeping in.

She knew what was coming. She told the vet she had to leave before the pain took over. The vet nodded, then asked: “Have you ever tried acupuncture?” Miriah laughed.

How could that help? She had seen every doctor, taken every pill. If modern medicine couldn’t fix her, how could a few tiny needles? But a few weeks later, she heard about acupuncture again—this time, from her cousin.

He told her it had changed his life. That was two people now. Two people she trusted. Maybe there was something to this.

A Life-Changing Treatment

A month later, she attended a Discovery Day event at Northwestern Health Sciences University. Halfway through the event, the migraine hit. She could feel it taking over—the pressure building, the nausea rising. She started planning her escape. But one of the professors noticed. “ Would you like an acupuncture treatment?” She had nothing to lose. The needles went in.

Within minutes, the pain started fading. The pounding in her skull eased up. The nausea disappeared. By that evening, for the first time in years, she didn’t feel like she had been at war with her own body. No medication had ever done that. She had spent her entire life searching for relief. And now, it was right in front of her. She had to know how and why this worked.

From Pain to Purpose

At first, she planned to use acupuncture for animals. But as she studied, she kept meeting women just like her. Women trapped in the same cycle. Women whose doctors told them their pain was normal. Women who were tired of pills that didn’t work. She saw herself in their stories. She knew she had to help.

Miriah earn a Master’s in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine and trained with the best. She specialized in women’s health, fertility, and hormone balance. Then, she opened Alloy Acupuncture in Woodbury, MN.

Mission: To Change the Way Women Experience Healthcare in Minnesota

Western medicine tells women their pain is “just part of life.” Doctors offer pills instead of real solutions. They treat symptoms instead of fixing the root cause. Miriah is changing that. At Alloy Acupuncture, she helps women balance hormones, improve fertility, and heal from chronic pain.
