Acupuncture and moxibustion were orignally conceived as a means of health maintenance to "prevent illness before it shows its symptom". This stage is called "Mi Byo" in Japanese which means "before illness". These days they are used mainly to achieve some form of relief or to heal existing discomfort or pain.
The face is a complex network of muscles which are constantly in use (smiling, chewing, laughing, yawning) and begin to collect tension. This eventually causes constriction of muscle tissue and decreased circulation to the surface tissues. When blood is unable to circulate properly through these tissues, the facial tissue near the surface begins to die, and loses its natural elasticity.
Pain is our body's warning system telling us something is wrong. It appears in many forms - none of them pleasant. It can be acute and stabbing in nature, or chronic and nagging. It can appear suddenly or develop over weeks or months. Acupuncture is well known for it's ability to treat lower back pain, osteo-arthritis of the knee and even dental pain.
Acupuncture and moxibustion have been used for centuries in China and Japan to assist during pregnancy and labour. They offer a safe, natural and effective option for many of the common discomforts associated with pregnancy. During the first trimester over 50% of women suffer to some degree from nausea, vomiting and fatigue.
Acupuncture has a long history in treating fertility dating back to the 7th century. More recently, it is being used to enhance the success rates of assisted conception techniques such as IVF and IUI.
Improving your health before you conceive can increase the likelihood of a healthy pregnancy and baby; think of it as preparing the ground before planting the seed - the condition of the soil determines whether the seed will germinate and how well it will grow.

Fiona is an absolutely great practitioner. I have been visiting her on and off for the past 5 years for help with different ailments. She is always very professional, attentive and courteous. She helped me regain my balance every time and provided me with further resources for my journey I could rely on. Her style is gentle, yet results are powerful! Highly recommend her!

I met Fiona just over 2 years ago - I’ve had back pains most my adult life and after trying so many therapies Accupunture was the only thing that’s helped me! I can’t explain how wonderful and rewarding each session is - not only physically but mentally the environment is so calming and a real escape from my busy lifestyle. Highly recommend !

My day job is as an Osteopath. I started seeing Fiona 13 years ago when I had hip pains while pregnant with my daughter. To this day, if I have pain, feel imbalanced or depleted, I go and see her.
She is brilliant as well as kind and lovely and really good to talk to! I cannot recommend her enough and often refer patients to her who are always as bowled over by her as I am ❤️

Fiona is amazing! I am in awe at her skill in listening and ascertaining what is needed. I have been seeing Fiona for many years and completely trust her abilities. Fiona has treated me for all sorts of things from physical pain to colds and allergies and to all sorts of stress and emotional states. I go to Fiona because of her warm welcome but also because she really ‘hears’ what my body and spirit need. I would recommend her highly.

As yoga teacher I have some experience of alternative health practitioners. Fiona Hurlock stands out. She has great skill and knowledge not just about acupuncture but on other related health treatments. Her session leave me totally relaxed and usually full of energy the next day. She helped me sort out a chronic shoulder problem. She has a positive attitude and energy which she transfers to her clients. I recommended her to colleagues and students alike.
