The journey he and his wife had through the process of infertility treatment seemed to be endless. After years of traditional unsuccessful treatments, he and his wife decided to undergo a series of alternative treatments which included acupuncture, herbal medicine and Chinese medicine for infertility. Within less than a year, Mike Berkley’s wife was pregnant! After personally walking the journey of infertility treatment, Mr. Berkley pursued his own degree and National Board Certification in acupuncture, herbal medicine and Chinese medicine for infertility.
