Peter has been working as an acupuncturist and healer for over 17 years. In that time he has continually trained and developed his practice in the healing arts. He first experienced acupuncture when he had treatment for low energy levels and stress. Through treatment he learned a great deal about himself. His energy levels improved in away that his friends noticed and he became more relaxed. He was hooked! He started training and the rest - as they say - is history.

Acupuncture (from a fully trained acupuncturist) is truly holistic. As such it can go deep to the source of disharmony in body, mind and spirit. Peter trained in two wonderful but very different styles of Acupuncture, each with its own unique approach and strengths. He has also had advanced training in many common health issues which acupuncture is effective in treating. After these many years of training Peter still has a commitment to continuous professional development. Healing is his passion; Peter feels blessed to enjoy this rewarding work. In his spare time he loves to connect with nature; walking in mountains, canoeing or sailing. These activities along with Thai Chi, Yoga and Meditation, sustain him and assist him with his work.
