David Magill, Licensed Acupuncturist in Colorado
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 and inspiration came from all the doctors and nurses who were dedicated to healing patients that came for treatment at McCord’s.
Experience and Philosophy
My interest in Acupuncture grew 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. I was sold at that point.
Since then I have addressed my own mental and emotional issues beginning with working as a residential counselor in a Public 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.
I have found that it is essential to live life in the present as much of the time as possible in a conscious state of awareness. It helps us cope with fear and anxiety and stay grounded in our lives.
Five Element Acupuncture is a vehicle for calming the senses and balancing the mind and body. It allows you to move forward without feeling so overwhelmed by life.
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 of Science 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.
I also interned in Five Element Pediatric Acupuncture. I now treat children under the umbrella of a non-profit and have my own adult practice in the same office.
I look forward to working with you on your healing journey.
