About Nautilus Acupuncture

Laura Campbell

Founder & Principal Practitioner

Growing up with her mum, well-respected and highly skilled Acupuncturist, Fran Barns, Laura Campbell always knew that she would dedicate her career to healthcare and healing.

Along with her 10 years as a registered Acupuncturist, Laura brings more than 20 years of emergency nursing experience from around Australia and the UK. She recognises that while Western medicine has an incredible capacity to save lives and manage complicated health problems, there are some areas where a more holistic and integrated approach is beneficial.

Laura offers her clients a unique approach to healthcare with the ability to blend her deep passion and expertise for Chinese Medicine and acupuncture with her knowledge and experience in the Western model of healthcare.

Laura’s areas of interest include musculoskeletal pain and disorders, pregnancy support, digestive health, stress management, and mental wellbeing. Her treatment style is influenced by Fran’s 25 years in practice and she has been gifted with a close network of industry mentors.

Laura has always had an interest in blending yoga practices and philosophies into her acupuncture treatments. She completed her yoga teacher training to deepen her knowledge of this physical, mental and spiritual practice. Today, Laura combines her passion for acupuncture and yoga via workshops, retreats and private classes.

Laura is an active member of her industry, continually advocating for and improving referral pathways between medical doctors and complementary health practitioners. She is a Registered Acupuncturist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and a member of the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association.

With over two decades of dedicated practice, Heidi Weiss brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise in Chinese Medicine and Women's Health to Nautilus Acupuncture. She has a high level of enthusiasm for all aspects of health and wellness. Her understanding of the intricate balance between Eastern and Western medicine has shaped a career centred on empowering individuals through an array of holistic healing modalities.

Heidi's journey into Chinese Medicine began with her own early encounters with hormonal imbalances, igniting a passion to explore alternative avenues for optimising women's health. Over the years, she has honed her expertise in fertility support, pregnancy care, hormonal equilibrium, and post-natal wellness. Heidi is regarded as an exceptionally skilled health professional in these areas and spent many years working alongside some of Brisbane’s most renowned fertility specialists, IVF clinics, obstetricians, and endocrinologists to provide a high level of integrative care.

For 18 years, Heidi cultivated AcuHealth Acupuncture Clinic in Brisbane into a thriving multi-practitioner clinic. As her young children neared school age, she made the decision to relocate to the Sunshine Coast for a change of pace. Many of her beloved Brisbane clients are now travelling to continue their care with her at Nautilus Acupuncture.

Having completed a Bachelor of Health Science in Acupuncture, Heidi approaches each client with empathy, knowledge, and skill, guiding them toward optimal health and vitality.
