Amanda Gordon
PgDip Acu - MSc - BA(Hons) - MBAcC
 

I am a registered TCM (Traditional Chinese Medical) Acupuncturist and a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC). Qualified to postgraduate level, I graduated from the highly-regarded Northern College of Acupuncture in York following three years of MSc level study.

Based in Sheffield, I use acupuncture alongside supplementary TCM treatments to support you in resolving your health complaints so that you can fully participate in your life. I believe in the Chinese medicine view that you should be treated as a whole person, not only as a diagnosed condition, and I love to draw on the ever-growing body of research evidence about acupuncture to inform your treatment.

I would be delighted to support your health in all areas of general practice, and have particular interest in treating headache/ migraine, insomnia and poor sleep (including from shift work), stress and anxiety, and grief (both personal and systemic). I also support all phases of women's health from period troubles through to fertility, pregnancy and postpartum support, and beyond to managing the symptoms and transition through perimenopause and menopause. My treatment room is a safe space where all bodies are welcome and you can expect non-judgment, a supportive ethos, and deep care for your health.

Alongside clinical practice, from 2022-2025 I held the post of Course Director for the BSc in Acupuncture at the Northern College of Acupuncture in York, one of the UK’s longest-standing and most respected acupuncture education institutions. Prior to qualifying as an acupuncturist in 2020, I worked in philanthropy and social impact consulting with charities addressing educational and social disadvantage, and I carry a deep conviction that we all deserve liveable, dignified and satisfying lives.

I am also a registered member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC). The British Acupuncture Council is the only UK membership organisation for Acupuncturists that has high enough standards of regulation to be registered with the government's Professional Standards Authority (PSA).  All members must be trained to degree level and be subject to standards that ensures all ethical, clinical and safety guidelines are met.  

I offer appointments at Fiveways on Friday afternoons and evenings, and alternate Saturday mornings.
