Bruce was born in Zimbabwe and emigrated from South Africa to the UK in 2000. Following a life-long interest in Chinese philosophy and medicine, he commenced his acupuncture studies at the College of Traditional Acupuncture in Leamington Spa, in 2002. 

While his initial studies and practice focused on the Five Element school, in recent years he has broadened his knowledge of other areas of acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, and now works in an integrated style. This allows for a unique approach for different individuals and different conditions.

Bruce currently teaches and supervises at the The Acupuncture Academy, one of the leading accredited acupuncture schools in the UK.
