David Magill
I spent my early childhood growing up in Durban, South Africa in the early 1960’s where my father practiced Pediatric medicine at McCord Zulu Hospital. My greatest influences came from all the doctors and nurses that worked at McCord’s and continue to inspire me today.
Experience and Philosophy
I came to Acupuncture when I was treated at the San Francisco school of TCM for what seemed like Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Within a week of receiving acupuncture and an herbal formula the symptoms were gone and I felt much better. II was sold at that point.
I have also addressed my own mental and emotional issues beginning with working as a residential counselor in a Mental Health Program and studying Tibetan Buddhist practices, Thai Chi, Taoist philosophy and meditation. Psychotherapy has played an important role in personal growth as well as receiving ongoing Five Element treatments to maintain inner balance, insight and calm.
Life is an ongoing path to expanding and growing my sense of self in relationship with others. It takes courage and commitment to walk this path and it leads to a deeper and richer connection with all beings on this planet.
Education
I graduated from the Colorado School of Traditional Chinese Medicine with a Masters of Acupuncture in 2012 and then completed the Herbal program graduating with the Masters in Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2014.
I went on to complete a 5 year internship with master practitioner Judi Terrill, L.Ac. becoming certified in Five Element Acupuncture which emphasizes that emotions are often the underlying cause of physical ailments. I also interned in Five Element Pediatric Acupuncture. I currently treat children under the umbrella of a non-profit and have my own adult practice in the same office.
I have dedicated my life to healing myself and people in need of healing from the wounds and hurts in life.
I look forward to engaging with you in this transformative journey.
