Meet the Business Owner
Peter L.
Business Owner
Peter Liebenthal has been exposed to acupuncture since childhood because his grandmother helped to popularize acupuncture in Argentina. After a serious car accident, he has dedicated his life to health and has been practicing Qi Gong (Chinese exercises that coordinate movement, breathing and awareness) daily as a way to maintain his health and optimize his well-being. Gradually, he has become more aware of qi (life-energy) and has dedicated his life to learning more about it. This dedication, combined with a strong desire to help people, has led him to pursue a career in acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.
After a 4 year intensive program in Traditional Chinese Medicine in California, Peter spent time in China and Taiwan interning with master acupuncturists and herbalists.
Peter is currently practicing in Alexandria, Silver Spring and Washington DC.
