I uncover the complexity of your illness and implement the best therapies to support your healing journey.

I specialize in uncovering the root cause of your illness by applying the foundational principles of Chinese Medicine. I listen to your life history, carefully observe the current health of your body, and treat you with sophisticated acupuncture, heat, and herbal therapies.

These therapies — drawn from the oldest Chinese medical text, the Huángdì Nèijing (黃帝內經) — recover the circulation, and therefore the health, of tissues that have stopped working well. They are noticeably more effective than ‘point based’ contemporary acupuncture practice.

If you are struggling with a complex health issue, I can help.

Next intake opens May 1, 2026 — ten in-person and ten online patients per cycle.

Trained at: Emperor’s College (Masters in Chinese Medicine, Summa Cum Laude) · Neijing Medicine I & II with Dr. Edward Neal · Two ‘Unfixed’ dissection workshops with Gil Hedley.

My approach.

The oldest text of Chinese medicine understood that our health is constantly shaped by weather, seasonal climate, physical trauma, emotional experiences, food and lifestyle choices. I work to discover which of those factors have contributed to your illness, and apply classical needle, heat, and herbal therapies to resolve their influence.

Conditions I’ve worked with successfully.

Real cases from my practice. Every body is different — these aren’t a promise of identical results, but a sense of the kinds of complex issues this medicine can move.

Membranous nephropathy kidney disease (patient is no longer scheduled for dialysis , we began at 11 GFR, now they are at 26 — 32 GFR but treatment is still ongoing)

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (increase of blood oxygenation from 82 — 93 utilizing needle procedures in combination with other therapies)

Pain & headache — AJ

Peter absolutely SAVED MY LIFE and healed injuries/symptoms i was told I'd just have to live with the pain for the rest of my life.... and he did this TWICE, once after a long term injury that prevented me from running, wearing hats, sunglasses or even carry empty boxes without experiencing spinal pain and sharp pain in my head and later he helped me heal from a hit and run car accident.... He KNOWs what he is doing and I trust him with EVERYTHING!!!! I am soooo soooo sooo grateful i found him!!! I can happily say, i have been back to running and leading a normal, painfree existence for 2 years now.... THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

— AJ, Los Angeles

Rheumatoid arthritis — EM

My experience with Peter Galle has been nothing short of transformational! I have been treated by Peter for several severe issues related to Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). I’ve battled RA for nearly twenty five years, relying on Western medicine to slow down the progression and damage caused by this crippling disease. However, when the effectiveness of the meds wore off this last few years, leaving me with permanent bone damage, knee swelling, and atrophy; I turned to Eastern medicine and Peter Galle. Peter is my HEALER and my HERO!!!! He has helped me through all of my RA issues; taking special care to understand each and every nuance that my body has created. He has taught me so much about my health and wellbeing. Peter is patient and kind, knowledgeable and humble; a truly wonderful human being. There is no one else I would trust to manage complex health issues. Peter has literally saved me!!!

— EM

Digestive issues — AP

I am so grateful to have found Peter! I was at the end of my rope with some significant digestive issues. I had tried everything — different diets, food elimination, various healers and practitioners. Peter got to the root of the issue and I am forever grateful! I continue to see Peter periodically to keep my health on track — and when any issue arises. He is truly a deep healer.

What to expect on your first visit.

The first appointment runs ninety minutes. We’ll go through your health history in detail — illnesses, injuries, surgeries, medications, sleep, digestion, emotional history, work, what your days actually look like. I’ll examine the relevant areas and we’ll do a first treatment.

Please send any lap reports, imaging reports, and a current medication list.

If you’re unsure whether your case is the right fit, start with a short conversation — it’s the cleanest way to find out.
