Parkinson's: A Family's Journey of Hope

From a long search for answers to trusted, ongoing care.

Five years after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, my wife Q had received continuous treatments from leading hospitals across China. Despite travelling tens of thousands of kilometres in search of specialist care, her condition continued to decline.

After arriving in New Zealand, our daughter found Levi through the outstanding reviews shared by his patients. Following 3 months of personalised acupuncture and herbal medicine treatment, we have seen remarkable improvements. My wife has progressed from being completely dependent on others to walking independently at home, holding her head upright naturally, eating without assistance, thinking more clearly, sleeping peacefully, and enjoying a much better quality of life.

Levi combines exceptional clinical skills with genuine compassion, giving us renewed hope when we needed it most. To express our heartfelt thanks, I wrote a poem and had it made into a piece of Chinese calligraphy for display in his clinic.

“As a family, we are deeply grateful.”

2 Years of Ongoing Care

Living Well Beyond Knee Pain

Ongoing care around work, movement and everyday wellbeing

Because my work requires me to stand for long hours, I developed severe knee pain. I was diagnosed with a meniscus injury and osteoarthritis, and surgery was even recommended.

Since beginning treatment with Levi two years ago, his combination of traditional acupuncture, moxibustion, and Chinese herbal medicine has significantly reduced my pain. I can now stand comfortably for extended periods without difficulty. Even more encouraging, my doctor has told me that I no longer need surgery.

I have been visiting Levi almost every week for the past two years. His “Holistic” natural treatments have not only helped keep my knees healthy but have also supported my overall wellness, leaving me feeling relaxed and refreshed.

“I am truly grateful for his professional care, skill, and compassion.”

2-Year Journey

Rapid Relief from Severe Lower Back Pain

From barely walking to travelling again after just two treatments

“He has become our family's trusted therapist.”
Mrs R

I'd like to share my remarkable two-year journey with Levi. Two years ago, just before my trip to Australia, I suddenly developed severe lower back pain, likely from frequently bending and lifting. It became so painful that I could hardly walk, and my doctor said I had a problem with my lumbar disc.

I found Levi, and after only a few treatments, my movement returned to normal and I was able to fly to Australia as planned. Two years later, after my family had already booked our trip to Japan, my back pain came back again. My family doctor seriously advised that I should not travel by plane in the near future.

Once again, I turned to Levi. After just two treatments, my pain improved enough for our Japan trip to go ahead. I am deeply grateful to Levi. Now, whenever my mother, my husband, or I have any pain, we always go to Levi.

7 Years

A Post-Surgical Recovery Journey

Seven Years of Ongoing Support

After major spinal surgery in my seventies, I was left with ongoing back pain and metal screws in my spine. The pain often kept me awake at night and made everyday activities, even bending over, very difficult.

Since starting treatment with Levi seven years ago, his unique therapeutic massage and other natural therapies have provided lasting and consistent relief. After each session, I feel more relaxed, refreshed, and able to move more comfortably.

With his care, I now sleep much better, enjoy gardening again, and can stand comfortably for long periods while singing in my church choir. For the past seven years, I have continued to see Levi every week.

“His care has made a real difference to my quality of life.”
Mr D
