Joy is a well-rounded,holistic tcm practitioner that is a good mix of modern and traditional. She's very gentle and sweet and has helped me in health journey. I'm usually afraid of needles and was very hesitant to try out acupuncture but she does it so painlessly and is so reassuring. Will recommend her!

TCM Joy was really knowledgeable, kind and patient. She listened to all my concerns and helped my son to have a quick recovery from his cough. As he still a baby, there is very limited medication for him to take. Joy taught me how to perform baby tui na on my son personally at home and gave me many helpful tips on how to do it myself. She even did a follow up check to make sure that my son has recovered and is taking the chinese medication well. Strongly recommended.

Dr Joy is a miracle worker for my shoulders. I have been seeing her several times whenever my shoulders get stiffed or injured, she always tried her best to help me find relief. She uses a combination of TCM tools that most suit my needs and preferences. Highly recommend her for muscle pain relief!

Went for a toe spain. Dr Joy was really thorough and detailed. Not only did she do acupuncture but also attend to my injury and diagnose which muscles were in bad shape. She also gave good advises to help speed up the recovery while checking up with me even after the visit.

I was searching for a TCM doctor not too far from my home, preferably a bilingual female doctor. Found Dr Joy, and no regrets coming to her for my weekly acupuncture, cupping and herbs session. She is patient and knowledgeable, and even checks on me in between my sessions. In only three sessions (and counting), coupled with home care, I have seen and felt improvements in my body condition. I highly recommend her!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does The TCM Practice charge per session?›
The TCM Practice is priced at the mid-range ($$) level. Singapore market norms for TCM consultations typically run S$30–60 per consultation, with acupuncture sessions S$50–120 and herbal prescriptions S$20–80 per week depending on the formula. Package bundles of 5–10 sessions are commonly available at a slight discount. Confirm the per-session fee, what is included in the consultation (tongue and pulse diagnosis, treatment, and any consumables), and whether herbal dispensing is billed separately. Ask about the cancellation and no-show policy, as most TCM clinics require 24-hour notice to avoid a fee. See the full TCM cost guide for Singapore →
Do I need a referral or assessment first?›
No GP referral is required to book a TCM consultation in Singapore. At your first visit, the practitioner will conduct a diagnostic assessment — typically tongue and pulse examination, alongside a health history intake — before recommending a treatment approach. This may include acupuncture, tui na, cupping, moxibustion, or an herbal formula, either individually or in combination. If you have a complex or chronic condition, bringing relevant medical reports or blood test results can help the practitioner tailor treatment. For certain insurance claims (e.g. under Medisave for specific conditions or integrated shield plans), a GP referral letter may be required by your insurer — check your policy before assuming coverage applies.
Is the practitioner at The TCM Practice licensed?›
In Singapore, all practising TCM physicians must be registered with the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board (TCMPB) under the Ministry of Health. Registration covers acupuncturists and TCM physicians separately, and you can verify any practitioner's name and registration status on the TCMPB public register at moh.gov.sg before booking. No regulatory licences are currently listed on The TCM Practice's KakiList profile. Contact the clinic directly to confirm the full name and TCMPB registration number of the practitioner you will be seeing, and verify this on the TCMPB register. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the relevant board's public register before treatment.
