Books by Tina Bruce

The stories we share about motherhood shape and unite us. They are powerful and transformative. But what happens when motherhood isn't what you expected? When you find yourself faced with unimagineable trauma, chronic pain and relentless addiction? Mother's Medicine tells the story of Tina's journey through yoga and self acceptance, self healing, and ultimately, recovery. It is an inspiring memoir that explores the topic of a woman's right to feel supported and be heard during birth and beyond. Mother's Medicine cracks open Australia's health system and asks women everywhere to consider how we go within to access our own medicine: our intuition.
