SERVICES
Welcome to Acupuncture Plus
Originally from Chch NZ, Heather Bruce has been an acupuncturist/ naturopath/ herbalist/ lifestyle counsellor since 1979, when she opened her first practice in the inner Brisbane city.
Her key interests are in all levels of health and well-being, especially in exploring the nature of disease, and its contribution to our life tapestry.
She is most known for her work in sub-fertility, birthing and general women's health issues. See Heather's work in written form at her shop.
Education
Heather's initial acupuncture training was in Brisbane in 1977. This was before TCM became the flavour in acupuncture education - when the classics were studied and individualised treatment was the norm rather than protocols. Thus still means that Heather is more interested in YOUR life journey and how YOU feel than whatever condition you may bring to the clinic.
She has been diligent at advancing her knowledge further over the last 30 years; designing, writing and delivering under and post graduate acupuncture courses since 1981. As a naturopath an energy healer and a mother of four, she has extensive and varied ways to assist those who may have thought that they have tried 'everything' . . .
She has set up the Chch clinic in addition to her small rural West Coast one, to enhance the training of those who have recently graduated as acupuncturist. She is passionate about excellence in health and lifestyle outcomes.
Heather has a whole selection of self help manuals and sets of information that may be instantly downloaded through visiting here shop. - and looking at eBook packages.
What will a session with Heather be like?
The acupuncture energy model is not just about the insertion of needles – also needed is changing what you are doing in your daily life. Not just what you do but how you do it.
This means that there are myriad ways to restore perfection for you. When seeing Heather she will use a variety of different ways to move the stuck parts of you out of congestion and stagnation and back into working order.
Whilst acupuncture/Chinese medicine has been her main focus, ways to assist you will differ as all have different paths to get to the apparently same place/condition . .. She has honed her skills over the past thirty years into an amalgam of naturopathy/wise woman advice and common sense - as seen through the acupuncture model.
By talking with her, you may get a very different perspective in whatever it is that you wish help with.
All acupuncture sessions have a massage component and diet and supplements will always be covered as what we take in to fuel ourselves often is the cause of why we feel we are not coping so well.
It may mean Aura Soma oils are used to help clear and focus on what you may need to work with; it may mean that you completely change what is going to be fueling you – to assist your food factory to assist you so you can help yourself – not by working against yourself and what bodies are designed to do: you to start walking and doing lots of mediating – as the best way to clear ourselves is to do just that – and old habits have created what it is that we don’t like/want to change.
It may mean buying a few eBooks to get further into a topic to give you the tools to understand how you have created whatever it is that is bothering you and the steps out of there may be needed.
Pain
Pain happens as something is STUCK – circulation is blocked and it is often a trick to work out on which layer has this happened. Chronic body pain is usually reflecting the state of inner distress and thus often getting out of our own way is not so simple. There is on Heather’s main site various tools to allow you to investigate this yourself – starting with the meditation CD/now in MP3 format that can be downloaded – and on into the more practical ways to deal with everyday living.
Back and neck/shoulder pain/(headaches even) are often as easy as getting the massage and moxa eBooks and having a friend/lover exchange sessions – to allow what you have been holding onto to free itself – it is usually very simple – just different – and the idea of helping yourself may be novel – yet is free and works – and needs change to happen – and to heal is to allow change . . .
Menstrual pain/dysfunction, whilst now masked as most conditions are through medication – doesn’t really get to fixing what is happening – leasing to later problems as seen through the current fertility epidemic.
Depression / Anxiety
A very common diagnosis - when we are all so busy/upset and have to just keep it all together. Sometimes it is as simple as completely fueling yourself differently – no sugar and chocolate or caffeine and alcohol – and then some say – I couldn’t live without it – and the answer is – you are NOT living well with it . . . Living Well Package
Good nutritional support ( a B complex, some Zinc – liquid or powder form is more likely to be absorbed – and Magnesium – on the skin or in liquid/powder form again so you can use them) is always the first stage of help.
Understanding how a well body works is the next step. Working with your body. This may be found through the energy model and within the eBooks Heather has spent the past three years writing and sharing her decades of teaching and clinical experience will help you to work through a lot of your own issues yourself.
Start actually undoing what has happened to make you who you are - not so scary as staying stuck in panic attacks and wondering when the next one will hit you.
Good nutrition is the key to all – are you able to access what you are eating?? Spending time with yourself UNWINDING – perhaps in meditation or some form of reflection – so you feel as though your cup is filled BEFORE you go assisting others.
IBS/Reflux
How can you nourish yourself when stressed? The first thing that happens for many is that the gut knots up and from there – the nutrients that may be being eaten are not used - normal digestion can’t happen with the medications on board to halt pain – and all of this adds to the body distress.
