Australia
Dr. David Hartmann started studying for a diploma in applied science (Chinese Medicine) almost straight out of secondary school and graduated from the Australian College of Natural Medicine in Brisbane in 1997 at the age of just 23.
David set-up his own acupuncture clinic and has been treating patients regularly since. He has a special interest in mental and emotional health. This has led him to research the literature extensively, and to prioritise the treatment of mental health in his clinic.
This journey has also resulted in the exploration of different archetype systems, philosophical ideas plus an immersion in some fringe Chinese medicine concepts. This process has led to some incredible discoveries which Dr. Hartmann now shares with the international Chinese medicine community via online workshops (available from almost a dozen different companies), live seminars, and conference presentations.

Mieke Fraussen
Mieke is now considered the expert in the field of Chinese Face Reading and facial analysis. Over 20 years ago, she left a successful career in advertising to delve into human health. After a brief stint as a naturopathic therapist, where she studied Western facial diagnostics, and as a shiatsu therapist, where she gained knowledge of Japanese Face Reading, she encountered traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). She even obtained a nursing diploma to further her understanding in this area. This marked the beginning of her journey through the five pillars of TCM.
At the TCM congress in Rothenburg, she met Lillian Bridges. Lillian's vision of a person's talents and potential, visible and understandable simply by looking at the face, inspired Mieke to deepen her knowledge in this form of Face Reading. She travelled the world to study various forms of Chinese Face Reading. During these travels, she also delved into BaZi, Feng Shui. Every face tells a unique life story. Chinese Face Reading involves observing and interpreting various facial features such as shape, colour, texture, and the position of elements like eyes, nose, mouth, and eyebrows. These features are seen as indicators of various aspects of a person's life, including health, emotional state, temperament, personality, talents, weaknesses, and life experiences. It can even reveal if someone is on their Golden Path.
In addition to her work as an acupuncturist, herbalist, nutritionist, and qigong teacher, Mieke also trains others in Face Reading. Her deep knowledge and years of experience make her a respected and sought-after expert in the field. She has helped countless people gain a better understanding of themselves and their health through the insights she offers via Face Reading. Mieke's dedication to the field and her ability to blend the ancient wisdom of Chinese Face Reading with modern techniques make her a pioneer and an inspiring teacher for many.
