Meet the Practitioner
David A. Brown
The Chinese Medicine Wisdom Holistic Health Clinic on the Gold Coast was founded by David Brown, a seasoned practitioner and teacher with 45 years of experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
David’s unique approach, informed by his deep intuitive abilities and extensive knowledge, addresses the full spectrum of human health—physical, energetic, emotional, mental, and spiritual. His dedication to uncovering the root causes of illness and his commitment to personalised care make Chinese Medicine Wisdom a beacon of hope for those who have struggled with traditional medical systems.
Through his “Heaven – Earth – Man Model” and “Model of 3” framework, David developed a fascination for Chinese medical philosophy as an acupuncture student studying ancient Chinese medical texts. Since then he’s spent many years deepening his understanding by researching corresponding ideas from multiple western metaphysical & psychological traditions. David integrates these concepts into his teaching and clinical work.
David has one of the best understandings of Chinese medicine philosophy and its application into modern life and, he has a passion for medicine and communication so that others can share in these understandings. This always comes through in his work.

The Model of 3
The Model of 3, based on Process Work, categorizes human experience into three levels—Consensus Reality, Dreamland, and Sentient—allowing us to tailor our therapeutic approach to meet clients where they are in their physical, psychological, and spiritual journeys.
Consensus Reality
Consensus Reality refers to the commonly agreed-upon, tangible level of experience that includes observable and measurable aspects of life, often shaped by societal norms and mainstream understanding.
Dreamland
Dreamland encompasses the subjective and psychological aspects of experience, including dreams, emotions, and personal insights, where deeper meanings and underlying causes of symptoms can be explored.
Sentient
Sentient refers to the intuitive and spiritual level of experience, where individuals connect with their inner wisdom and higher consciousness, often accessing profound insights and psycho-spiritual understanding.
