Stressing Japanese Maple

I have a lovely red Japanese Maple in a pot which came out of dormancy really well in April. I had kept her in a cool, shady shed for the winter, and she was full of buds all winter. The leaves burst out after she woke up, and she was doing great.

The pot was too small though, so I repotted her to a larger pot with lots of compost. Soon after she lost all of her leaves, and she hasn't done anything since. I'm sure this is due to repotting stress, but since there aren't any buds on her at all I'm nervous that she may not recover.

Her limbs are still flexible and slightly green, but she seems to be getting worse rather than better. I hesitate to give her any stimulants/fertilizers.

Any suggestions?
