David G Mercier

David Mercier is a seminar leader, speaker, life coach, and acupuncturist. In the 1970s he went to Sri Lanka where he practiced mindfulness meditation as a Buddhist monk for two years. But instead of finding peace of mind, he became ill and depressed. After returning to the U.S., he sought healing from acupuncture and other forms of integrative medicine, also known as holistic or complementary and alternative medicine. Since then, David has had extensive experience in management and in integrative medicine as a clinician. His passion is helping people lead a life of meaning, purpose, and fulfillment.

With master's degrees in organization development and acupuncture, David has established and led a hospital-based integrative medicine center, and has held consulting and leadership roles in healthcare organizations. Combining science and spirituality, he writes of the humanistic and spiritual essence of health, healing, and medicine.
