“I feel that the qi gong aspect of healing through acupuncture was neglected while in acupuncture school and also neglected while getting ceu's every year. We had one short course in tai chi while in acupuncture school and it was not at all as powerful as David's style of healing qi gong. Also opening the door to the study of quantum physics is the new frontier in medicine I believe. Thank you for offering this course.”
I learned that the Chakra system and the endocrine system are inextricably linked. You can heal pain anywhere in the body by breathing into the heart. I can feel and witness the Kundalini shake in myself and my patients... WOW! I learned a lot and this intensive reinforced my belief in the way medicine should work for patients. Thank you.

Thank you for creating a delightful Qi Gong seminar.
Thank you for creating a delightful Qi Gong seminar. I have been an acupuncturist for 27 years, which means that I have taken 27 years of continuing education classes. After all of these years and classes, it is difficult
to find a class that keeps my interest, flows and is informative. Your Golden Dragon Qi Gong class flowed nicely and kept my interest throughout all the hours. The information was clear, and there was a perfect blend of didactic to exercise time. I have done Big Tree (Hugging) meditation for an hour every morning for the past 4 years. It is so important that a health care worker keep himself/herself energetically fit by practice. I think that you made this clear. It is all about the practice: from there you get your personal strength on many levels, your insights, develop your intuition, and become a better “practitioner”… Thank you for sharing so many personal stories about yourself and working with patients. It is these stories that I will remember. Thank you for creating a price that is accessible to all acupuncturists and massage therapists - it is affordable and well worth it.
I study with Qi Gong masters from Inner Mongolia. Their style is to practice without instruction, nor comments, until much later…. not much talking. I like that your style is more “American” to explain and entice students, especially beginners, with what Qi Gong is, how it works, and why you are doing what you are doing.

This was an amazing course and taught with a profound amount of wisdom.
This was an amazing course and taught with a profound amount of wisdom. This has been the missing element for me in how I want to carry out my acupuncture practice as well as how I want to carry on in life. This is going to help me in healing myself so that I may go out and help heal others on the highest level. I couldn't have encountered this course at a more crucial time in life.

I really appreciate the piece of practitioner exercises as sometimes we put so much effort into seeing clients and forget about ourselves
This was an excellent course. I appreciated that I could do the modules in one hour segments - because sometimes long weekend intensive courses can be, well too intensive. I really appreciate the piece of practitioner exercises as sometimes we put so much effort into seeing clients and forget about ourselves and we are a good part of the equation for healing. Thank you and I hope you will consider doing more of these for NCCAOM. I am an acupressurist and can see how medical qigong work can be useful for my clients!
I highly recommend Qigong awareness to anyone of any age looking for a better quality of life.
I've been around energy medicine for 35 years. As a Practitioner of Chinese medicine I've had the opportunity to study with many teachers. David Coon takes the lead in having mastered Qigong practices. His mastery extends to his ability to share his techniques and practices in simple to implement and use exercises and routines. I do 5 minutes in the morning to as much as a one hour practice. Sometimes I integrate the practices into my day. The results have amazed me. My physical endurance, inner calm, clarity and intuition are optimal. I highly recommend Qigong awareness to anyone of any age looking for a better quality of life. I am grateful for the privilege of having David Coon as a teacher.

I am looking forward to the next class because this one has totally changed my life.
I walked away from this workshop feeling so empowered. I went home feeling grounded, strong and enlightened. I am a licensed acupuncturist and it has totally changed my practice. I am more present during the treatments and my intuition has expanded. I am looking forward to the next class because this one has totally changed my life.
David’s class brought me to a new level… that I have the power to transform myself and become a healing channel through this practice.
I participated in the “The Golden Dragon Medical Qi Gong Intensive with David this last weekend in Clearwater/St. Pete. It was a very transformative experience for me. David is a “True Master of Qigong” that has the desire to fully engage his students, taking a very personal interest in the development of each and every one. He is a gifted instructor with a thorough understanding of Qigong and the Martial Arts from many paths.
This weekend was very different; I have attended other Qigong seminars in the past. They left me disenchanted, overwhelmed and totally frustrated. I left these weekends without retaining anything from the class except a paper certificate stating that I had fulfilled my CEU requirements for yet another year.
David’s class brought me to a new level; “that I have the power to transform myself and become a healing channel through this practice.”
I realize; to appreciate the power of Qigong; it is an art that must be practiced daily to fully achieve success. David communicated the Qigong exercises and concepts in a way that I could understand and integrate the practice into my life and work. The way he led the class through the various exercises were clear and concise. The sessions were timed, organized and well balanced between informative experiential lectures and “hands-on” practical experience, reminding me that true Qigong is more than a technique or modality, it is a gift! David repeatedly expressed to “feel” the Qi; not just apply yet “another technique”. Techniques while very important; “without feeling the Qi you were an empty vessel; holding a needle.”
He truly left me inspired, with a desire to pursue a Qigong path. This has been one of the best programs I have attended as a continuing education seminar. The class should be mandatory for every student of acupuncture and life. It is a fulfilling experience; I honestly recommend his medical intensive for everyone to attend. I look forward to future workshops and continued practice.
David is genuine and authentic, skilled and compassionate. It is a privilege to study with him.
I have been in practice in the alternative health field as a Doctor of Chiropractic focusing on Applied Kinesiology, Acupuncture and NET for 34 years and a Qi Gong student for 8 years. I highly recommend David Coon's workshops for anyone who is looking to deepen their understanding of Qi Gong, further their own personal inward journey and provide benefit to others through the techniques that he teaches so masterfully. David is genuine and authentic, skilled and compassionate. It is a privilege to study with him.

I am amazed at how much I was able to take from this course- and for me, it was life- changing.
I initially signed up for this course as an avenue to help some of my patients who are stuck in a cycle of chronic pain. While I learned some valuable skills to help these patients, I think the course was really for me. My understanding of energy fields is so much broader- and the experience I gained from an intensive weekend in Tampa is already helping me build my energy (jing) and influence my patients'; energetic fields. I am amazed at how much I was able to take from this course- and for me, it was life-changing. By the way, I don't say those words lightly! Thank you David.
