We begin with a comprehensive initial examination designed to identify any underlying issues that could be hindering your ability to conceive, maintain a pregnancy, or achieve hormonal balance. If you’ve been diagnosed with high FSH, are an IVF “poor responder,” have experienced frequent miscarriages, or face unexplained infertility, our goal is to uncover the root causes.
By collaborating closely with you and your fertility specialist, we guide you through your fertility journey. Our support extends to helping you evaluate the most suitable treatment options, whether that involves assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) such as IVF, IUI, FET, or natural methods.
Chinese Medicine has addressed PMS, PMDD, and menstrual issues for over 3,000 years. While Western medicine may regard symptoms such as irregular periods, pelvic pain, cramping, hot flashes, and vaginal dryness as ‘normal,’ Chinese Medicine views these signs as indicators of underlying imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, or malfunctioning organ systems. Addressing these imbalances is essential for achieving optimal health.

At Achieve Health Acupuncture Clinic, our unique approach starts with an in‑depth initial examination to uncover any underlying factors that may be preventing you from conceiving, maintaining a pregnancy, or achieving hormonal balance here in Retford, Nottinghamshire.
Infertility can be a challenging and emotional journey, but you’re not alone. If you’re reading this, you’ve likely been diagnosed with infertility and have explored various options offered by Western medicine. Perhaps you’ve also heard about the potential benefits of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine.
Hi, I’m Malik Khan, founder of Achieve Health Acupuncture Clinic in Retford. If you’re here for fertility, you’re in the right place.
Our Achieve Fertility program breaks the journey into six phases so you can understand what lies ahead. Our goal is to empower you with knowledge and guide you through every step.
The first step in your fertility journey is to achieve pregnancy naturally. We utilise a combination of traditional Chinese acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, nutrition, supplements, and unique technique called nerve reboot to enhance your body’s ability to conceive. If you’re pursuing IVF or IUI, we can also support you in this phase. On average, this phase may take six months to a year, giving your body time to prepare for pregnancy.
Once you’ve conceived, the next hurdle is ensuring a healthy pregnancy. We provide treatment and lifestyle support to help you reach the crucial 12‑week milestone, reducing the risk of miscarriage. Sessions are adjusted to your unique needs.
Nobody wants a pregnancy filled with discomforts like constipation, migraines, diabetes, or hypertension. This phase focuses on making your pregnancy as smooth as possible, typically spanning the second and third trimesters. Treatments are personalised to help you feel healthier and more comfortable.
As your due date approaches, we help you prepare for a smooth and timely delivery. Care can include support with breech position and promoting efficient contractions. This phase usually begins about one month before your estimated delivery date.
Once your baby arrives, the journey continues. We support both you and your newborn, especially if you plan to breastfeed. The first month post‑delivery is crucial for recovery, milk production, and your overall well‑being.
Your journey doesn’t end with delivery. You still need to stay healthy to care for your little one. Our final phase, the Healthy Mum program, helps you maintain hormonal balance, energy, and mood — aiming to reduce the risk of postpartum depression. This phase can last three to six months depending on your needs.
At Achieve Health Acupuncture Clinic, our approach begins with a detailed initial consultation to identify the underlying factors that may be affecting your ability to conceive, maintain a pregnancy, or achieve hormonal balance. Whether you’ve been told you have high FSH, responded poorly to IVF, experienced recurrent miscarriages, or have unexplained infertility, our aim is to uncover the reasons why.
We work closely with you — and where appropriate, with your fertility consultant — to guide you through your journey and help you choose the treatment path that best supports your goals, whether that’s assisted reproduction (IVF, IUI, FET) or a natural route.
Chinese Medicine has been treating PMS, PMDD, and menstrual problems for over 3000 years. Symptoms like irregular periods, pelvic pain, cramping, hot flushes, and vaginal dryness may be considered ‘normal’ from a Western medical view. In Chinese Medicine, these are seen as signs of imbalance, nutritional deficiencies, or organ system disharmony — which we aim to correct so you can experience optimal health.
At Achieve Health, we support women with:
