Heather Bruce, Acupuncturist

Heather Bruce has over 40 years of experience specializing in women’s and maternal health. She is an inquisitive acupuncturist, naturopath, and a Mayan/Arvigo and Mercier therapist.

As a new mother at her training’s onset, she saw all acupuncture study through maternal eyes. Using hands and heart, she has always specialized in obstetrics and fertility, and in all 'difficult' cases. Teaching all levels of acupuncture from a classical and a meridian basis she has developed her own style of Moving Blockages to Healing.

Heather is passionate about improving Jing and sustaining life - by starting with family concerns – touching, and being bonded, as the primates that we are.

Aided by the transmission of world-wide wise womanly oral and hands-on traditions, she intends to bring back magic into practice for all.

In 1981, Heather Bruce co-developed the original three year course at what was the Australian College of Natural Medicine, now Endeavour College. Having four children over 18 years, she has experienced health and wellness from the inside out, especially when her third baby in 1986 was born massively brain injured becoming also profoundly autistic. Her teaching focus changed after this, although it has always involved as organizer and presenter, in a large number of continuing national and international seminars and workshops in acupuncture, usually in difficult case resolution.

In 2005, Heather wrote What Dads Can Do as a handbook (plus two DVDs) for those interested in raising the maternal and baby outcomes for a bonded family future. The various patient publications and Apps followed.

Teaching the Role of 8 Extras in Maternal Well being since the mid ‘80’s, Heather is passionate about improving Jing. She works with a closed community in NZ whose women often have over 12 children. Improving health outcomes for all, (especially for those whose mums were frankly malnourished through having exceptional Hyperemesis Gravidarum for decades) starting with nutrition, she reduces ‘high risk’ pregnancies frequently back to home water births.

Heather’s current clinical focus for all in this changing world of toxic environmental stressors is sustainability – starting with family concerns – touching, and being bonded, as the primates we are. Starting from the basics is obviously important – no more so in practice, and thus the revival of a simple Chinese home remedy, is at the heart of her work.
