Bruce DeweDr Bruce Dewe MD, NZRK, NZCNMP, MATMS, MIACK, is an international lecturer who has been a Medical Doctor for over 30 years He was first exposed to Applied Kinesiology through a chiropractor in Camarillo, California in 1977. Bruce became a Touch for Health Instructor in 1977 and a member of the International College of Applied Kinesiology in 1981. That same year he was appointed the South Pacific Faculty member for the Touch For Health Foundation.

Bruce introduced a series of advanced skills workshops which, through time, evolved into the four PKP workshops and finally the PKP Certification Programme™. Bruce became chairman of the TFH International Faculty and in this role was instrumental in setting up the International Kinesiology College, Zürich of which he was the first President.

As Dean of Professional Studies for the IKC, he saw the need for a worldwide professional syllabus so, he devoted time to getting kinesiology on the Educational Framework (administered by the NZ Qualifications Authority) and the subsequent registration of a National Diploma in Kinesiology in New Zealand. Bruce has been interested in complementary medicine both professionally and personally. He developed an auto-immune disease as a medical student and has found assistance from both allopathic and complementary medicine.

Bruce has been a family doctor, has taught anatomy at the Auckland medical school, and has been part-time superintendent of a small country hospital before specialising in Kinesiology. Bruce has the ability to put difficult concepts into simple, easily assimilated modules. This, with his entertaining style of presentation, has created a worldwide demand for his workshops which are taught in 20 countries and translated into six languages.
