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.

"Just watched your Dud Studs vid, and wanted to say that it makes so much sense. I have been treating just the women, and the men’s sperm is always fine, but of course it isn’t. Feel like my eyes are open now. Thank you!! so simple and such common sense. I have been becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the whole IVF thing and feeling out of alignment with it all. been looking for answers but didn’t know what the questions where, just knew that it didn’t feel right. Well thanks to you my priorities have definitely changed…feel now i have a clearer vision of what my role is and how I can be more useful. Such a relief to feel back on track :) (NZ acup acupuncturist)
Perhaps look further?

All farmers source the best stud that they can afford - why are we humans not starting as though the quality of our children is as important as the produce from a farm?
I could say - back at you'.

I could say - back at you'. Anyone who is working in this field will agree with me here - it is not a 'her' issue, but a 'them' and at least a 'him could be better' one. Maybe controversy is what is needed at this time - when a 3-4% ‘normal’ looking sperm count is seen as considered ‘fertile’. What a pass mark!!! It is a great recipe for trouble – as least an inferior Jing start is not optimal – we all know this surely? What to do about it? Recognize it first . . . I am sorry if this offends you. What offends me is the head-in-sand of the world of ’reproductive medicine’ in relation to making better babies. I appreciate that possibly you may be new to this area of practice, and may not see what I do. Having been working in all aspects of maternity and natural medicine for over 35 years, I have watched unfolding an alarming situation that no one seems to be mentioning – and here you are – reacting. I chose this title to get this response – wake up!!! The some attention to the real fertility problem – HIM. It really is about time all did - and thus rescue the babies (as yet conceived – my real patients - and their sole advocate it would seem) that may not be as good as they could have been – with conscious conception. With all ignoring the obvious - wrecking her self esteem/body/life and their relationship/finances and the potential child's constitution by not saying any attention to the quality of the sperm that goes to make half the baby, we are not taking a farmer’s look – and this could make such a difference. Naturally better naturally conceived babies naturally. Listen and learn??
I find the title of this course to be extremely sexist

What do you call your female fertility course? Barren BXtches? Sick of the sexist paradigm that only goes one way. Show some respect for your clients.
