Why is Peter an Acupuncturist?

Peter is a man with a passion for health and fitness.  During his Naturopathy studies, Peter sustained a back injury racing motorcycles and was referred to an Acupuncturist.  The results of the treatment were so rapid and inspiring to Peter that he diverted his health studies to the field of acupuncture shortly after.   Peter says “It’s been my passion for much of my life and I enjoy it more everyday”.
