Silvia moved from Brazil to Suzhou Industrial Park with her husband in early 2012 and has grown keenly interested in traditional Chinese medicine. It all started when a friend gave her a digital meridian instrument. She tried on herself all the acupuncture points within her reach and was amazed by its effectiveness.

She singed up for a therapeutical training class in March this year. After the class, she would test the massaging skills she has learned on her husband, who finds the massage an effective cure to his cervical spine problems and gradually falls for it as well.

Acupuncture, massage, scraping, and cupping, Silvia said she planned to learn them all and would one day go back to Brazil to let more people benefit from the amazing traditional Chinese medicine.
