After graduation, she worked as an acupuncture and Chinese medicine doctor for the next ten years at the Life Infinity Medical Centre in Guangzhou.<br \/>\nWith a decision to change her life, she emigrated to New Zealand in 2014, and she ended up in Levin where she started up her own practice, The i Sport Deep Tissue Rebuild Acupuncture Clinic.<\/p>\n<p>Levin is a small community that had not been exposed to the benefits of acupuncture. In the following four years, she was able to treat a large number of patients. Her treaments open their eyes and mind as to how acupuncture may assist with the relief of their acute or chronic pain. Then, she began to learn that acupuncture doesn\u2019t only heal pain, but it can also increase one\u2019s self-esteem. People soon realise that they shouldn\u2019t need to continually suffer in pain. Now she has shifted to Christchurch to live with her husband. She is working alongside Patrick at the Christchurch Acupuncture Centre.<\/p>\n<p>She has always been passionate about acupuncture. With over 14 years of clinical experience behind her, she can still proudly say that she has treated all of her clients with the utmost of care, respect and empathy.<\/p>\n<p>All of her treatments are performed to the very best of her ability, and she is always striving to better herself in order to assist her patients.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"\" class=\"x-container max width\" style=\"margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;\" ><div  class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-1\" style=\"padding: 0px;\" ><div class=\"x-text x-content e23-e34 mn-0\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"x-section-4\" class=\"x-section\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 20px;padding: 0px; background-color: transparent;\" ><div id=\"\" class=\"x-container x-hide-xs x-hide-sm x-hide-md max width\" style=\"margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;\" ><div  class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-4\" style=\"padding: 0px;\" >&nbsp;<\/div><div  class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-4\" style=\"padding: 0px;\" ><hr  class=\"x-gap\" style=\"margin: 50px 0 0 0;\">\n<a id=\"\" class=\" eacs-creative-button eacs-creative-button--default eacs-creative-button-2999\" style=\"\"    href=\"tel:033542398\" data-text=\"033542398\"\ntarget=\"_self\">\n<span>CALL NOW<\/a>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\na.eacs-creative-button-2999 {\n    border: 2px solid hsl(191, 74%, 55%);\n    border-radius: 2px;\n    color: hsl(0, 0%, 0%);\n    padding: 10px 18px;\n    font-size: 15px;\n    background-color: hsl(191, 74%, 55%);\n    }\n\na.eacs-creative-button-2999:hover {\n    color: hsl(0, 0%, 3%);\n    border: 2px solid hsl(191, 74%, 55%);\n    background-color: hsl(0, 0%, 100%);\n}\n\n\n    \/* No other CSS required *\/\n\n\n<\/style><\/div><div  class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-4\" style=\"padding: 0px;\" ><hr  class=\"x-gap\" style=\"margin: 50px 0 0 0;\">\n<a id=\"\" class=\" eacs-creative-button eacs-creative-button--default eacs-creative-button-4105\" style=\"\"    href=\"https:\/\/chchacupuncture.co.nz\/contact-us\/\" data-text=\"patguo@gmail.com\"\ntarget=\"_self\">\n<span>EMAIL NOW<\/a>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\na.eacs-creative-button-4105 {\n    border: 2px solid hsl(191, 74%, 55%);\n    border-radius: 2px;\n    color: hsl(0, 0%, 0%);\n    padding: 10px 40px;\n    font-size: 15px;\n    background-color: hsl(191, 74%, 55%);\n    }\n\na.eacs-creative-button-4105:hover {\n    color: hsl(191, 74%, 55%);\n    border: 2px solid hsl(191, 74%, 55%);\n    background-color: hsl(0, 0%, 96%);\n}\n\n\n    \/* No other CSS required *\/\n\n\n<\/style><\/div><div  class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-4\" style=\"padding: 0px;\" >&nbsp;<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABOUT USAbout Christchurch Acupuncture CentreChristchurch Acupuncture Centre was established in 1999 by Patrick Guo.
