Laura Seymour Acupuncture

Co-owner & Acupuncturist at Shala Wellness. Please visit www.shalawellness.com.au to book Hello there!

I'm Laura Seymour and I have a passion for natural therapies and supporting active and healthy living. I have a Bachelor of Health Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS). I am registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), and a member of AACMA. After finishing my studies at UTS in 2016, I travelled to China to complete an internship at the Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Whilst in China, I worked alongside highly respected doctors in their fields. I have a friendly and gentle approach to my treatments involving acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, moxabustion, cupping, gua sha, tuina (Chinese massage) and Chinese herbal medicine. I will happily assist you with any of your health concerns, although I have a particular interest in women’s health, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), male and female fertility, IVF support, pregnancy, childbirth and menopause. I am also very experienced in digestive health, stress management, anxiety, insomnia and musculoskeletal issues. I hope you find this page interesting and learn a thing or two about traditional Chinese medicine! I am available at Beaches Health & Wellness in Newport on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.

**it’s best to check if your health fund extras reset on the calendar year or financial year, as funds and policies may differ.

𝗝𝗮𝘄 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 😬

An incredibly common (and sneaky) symptom of 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. It’s also a 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 — and most clients don’t even realise they’re doing it, whether during the day or in their sleep.
It’s often not until a practitioner like myself investigates further — palpating and massaging key areas of the scalp and face — that we uncover the tension and habit patterns contributing to the issue. For clients presenting like this, I often recommend a check-in with their dentist. Ongoing clenching or grinding can lead to tooth damage, and a night splint might be necessary for prevention.

In this case, my client came in with a lingering headache and noticeable tenderness in her left temporalis muscle. We used a combination of local 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝘂𝗽𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 to release the local tension, while also including distal acupuncture points to support her underlying health patterns.

Headaches aren’t always just about the head — often, they’re a reflection of deeper patterns in the body 🌀

Thank you to me client for allowing me to share these images and words 🙏🏼

SKIPPING MEALS 🍎

This has unfortunately been a real theme in clinic this week:

Life gets busy
There aren’t enough hours in the day
Work has a deadline
Stress has dampened your appetite; or
The kids are just being clingy…

Especially parents - we are always putting the needs of others first, and before you know it you’re out the door without breakfast yet again.

I get it. I’ve been there 🙋🏼‍♀️

But (sometimes) any food is better than no food.

Eat a piece of fruit
Eat a carrot
Eat a boiled egg
Eat a piece of toast
Eat some crackers
Eat

Of course we want to aim for balanced and nutrient dense meals. But somethings you just need to grab something on the go.

Today, I almost went without lunch. I got so caught up in work stuff that I simply forgot. I didn’t feel like anything, but instead just chucked some stuff I had in the fridge in a bowl and ate it.

If you haven’t had lunch yet - this is your reminder to not skip your meals 😉

My Acupuncture Tool Kit ✨

Every acupuncturist has their own way of practicing, and I (Laura) love taking a multi-modality approach to treatment. Here are just a few of my favourite tools:

🌟𝗔𝗰𝘂𝗽𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀 - The staple of any acupuncturist, available in various sizes, lengths, and widths.
🌟𝗚𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗖𝘂𝗽𝘀 - To release muscle tension, alleviate pain, and boost circulation.
🌟𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗦𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝘂𝗽 - Perfect for more delicate areas, like the face. Great for sinus drainage and facial rejuvenation!
🌟𝗚𝘂𝗮 𝗦𝗵𝗮 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 - I use a jade heart for the face and a soup spoon for larger muscle groups like the neck, shoulders, and back. Both help release tension and improve blood flow.
🌟𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱-𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝗮𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 - These tiny but powerful seeds help extend the effects of treatment, great for managing stress, anxiety, chronic pain, and even preparing for birth.
🌟𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝘅𝗮 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸 - A gentle heat therapy that nourishes yang qi, supports blood circulation, and warms specific areas of the body.
🌟𝗪𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 - This liniment creates a fiery sensation that soothes sore muscles and improves circulation. It’s 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦, but in the best way!
🌟𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗢𝗶𝗹 - I’m obsessed! I use it after soft-tissue work to minimise tenderness and help muscles recover.
🌟𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸-𝗢𝗻 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀 - Tiny needles that you can leave in for up to 2-3 days! These are great for prolonging the benefits of your treatment at home. I often use these on expecting mums with severe morning sickness.

Each tool has its unique benefits, and when combined, they work synergistically to restore balance & promote your body’s natural healing processes 💫

C-SECTION SCAR RELEASE ✨

This lovely client is 6 months postpartum and suffering from discomfort and pain in and around her c-section scar, as well as a ‘pulling’ feeling on certain movements.

We applied massage, cupping, local needling with infrared heat lamp therapy and body acupuncture known to tonify qi and blood and aid in healing. Our aim is to increase blood circulation and breakdown adhesions to allow her scar to move more freely 🙌🏼

Last month the most recent Mothers and Babies Report was published and it gives us a statistical understanding of pregnancy, labour, and birth in Australia, state by state. It also details maternal and infant outcomes and provides an overall picture of how Australian mothers are birthing their babies.

Why is this important?

Well, if you’re birthing in the hospital system (97% of women are), it’s helpful to understand what is happening on the labour ward. If you’re currently pregnant, here’s some numbers that may be helpful as you prepare for birth:

If you’re birthing for the first time, the chance of you having a caesarean has increased steadily over the past decade which means that 41% of first time mums have caesarean births.

And if you’re over 35 the caesarean birth rate is 49%.

While the induction rate plateaued in 2020, only 30% of women laboured without drugs to start or speed up labour.

This means that if you’re planning a physiological birth, you need to be prepared. And preparation is just as important for your birth support person. Learn everything you need to know in .birth.class
