New clients typically begin with a first consultation during which the practitioner assesses the presenting condition — whether musculoskeletal pain, stress-related symptoms, fertility support, or chronic illness management — before recommending a treatment approach such as acupuncture, tui na massage, cupping, or a combination. It is worth confirming in advance whether the practitioner holds registration with the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board (TCMPB), as this is the statutory requirement for anyone practising acupuncture or prescribing TCM in Singapore. Single sessions and package options are common; ask about cancellation terms before committing to a multi-session plan.

I rarely give comment but really cannot. I bought a lymphatic drain massage but gave me body massage super rugged until I need to stop and ask is this lymphatic massage coz I paid more for that massage supposed to body detox drain toxin And softly massage and after I asked my therapist ask her colleague to come and explain but the thing is her colleague didn’t know what is lymphatic massage and if you cannot do why you put in service menu and just charge that price but can’t give the service. Please careful this is fake Chinese massage and TCM.
Incredible foot and back massage. Anne and Fayer were fantastic. Both myself and my wife felt truly relaxed and refreshed after the best 60 mins we spent in Singapore! Cost is v reasonable too compared too! Definitely recommend to anyone visiting Joo Chiat.
Tried the message here as I have pinched nerve for few days. Ms Yumi did a great job on messaging my back and upper shoulder. Been wanting to come here for few times and glad that I will be able to make it today! Great service indeed. Many thanks!
not great. place isn’t clean and run down. service isn’t good either. avoid this there’s better places down the streets
Massage was good. Anne and Lily put in lots of effort. Back and shoulder was stiff and became more flexible after massage. Tummy was full of air, and felt better after massage.

Exact session fees were not listed at the time of this entry. For TCM in Singapore, a single acupuncture or tui na consultation typically runs S$40–120 depending on treatment duration and whether herbal prescription is included. Initial consultations sometimes carry a slightly higher fee to cover the case-history intake. Many clinics offer package deals (e.g. six or ten sessions) at a discounted per-session rate, which can suit clients managing chronic conditions. Confirm whether consumables such as needles, cupping equipment, and herbal dispensing are bundled into the quoted price or billed separately, and clarify the no-show and cancellation policy before paying for a package.

No formal referral is required to book a TCM consultation in Singapore. On your first visit you will typically complete an intake form covering your health history, current medications, and presenting complaint. The practitioner will conduct a TCM assessment — pulse and tongue diagnosis are standard — before recommending a treatment plan. For complex or chronic conditions (e.g. post-stroke rehabilitation, oncology-related fatigue, or fertility support), bringing a recent GP summary or specialist letter helps the TCM practitioner coordinate care safely. If you intend to claim through a corporate or personal insurance policy, check whether your insurer requires a GP referral letter to process the TCM claim before your first appointment.
In Singapore, anyone practising acupuncture or prescribing TCM herbs is legally required to be registered with the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board (TCMPB) under the TCM Practitioners Act. You can verify a practitioner's registration by name on the TCMPB public register at moh.gov.sg before booking. No regulatory licences were listed for this provider in the KakiList entry. This does not necessarily indicate non-compliance, but you should ask the clinic directly for the consulting practitioner's TCMPB registration number and cross-check it on the public register. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the relevant board's public register before treatment.
