About Us

Soma Clinic is an Allied Health clinic with an expertise in helping women through the importance phases of Fertility, Pregnancy and Postpartum.

This clinic was started by Dr. Mark Chern in 2014 after almost 3 years of working in 2 gentle birth clinics in Indonesia. It started as one person and gradually grew to boutique clinic it is today. The idea behind the clinic is one centered around the time-tested traditions of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, while incorporating adjacent treatment modalities that have proven to be useful to our patients in their respective journeys.

At Soma Clinic, we offer treatments using Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, Lymphatic Drainage, Chi Nei Tsang as well as Soft-Tissue Release with Craniosacral Therapy. Our experienced practitioners have specific skillsets which they have honed with practice over time. We work well together to focus on providing what we know is best for serving our patients.

Soma Clinic is part of a strong network of practitioners who serve women undergoing their fertility journey; We are also working with other clinics, doulas, midwives, osteopaths, chiros, etc in supporting women through pregnancy and postpartum, here in Singapore. We think we do a good job of helping you if you are trying to conceive, if you are pregnant, and even if you are facing some difficulties after delivery.

Our Offerings

Acupuncture for Fertility & IUI/IVF Support

We support fertility patients undergoing assisted reproductive technologies including ovulation induction, IUI, IVF/ICSI, etc. We have helped patients who are not good responders to clomid/letrozole or gonadotropin injections during the stim-phase of the IVF cycle.

We support patients through their 2ww. We journey with patients during the first trimester who have had a history of miscarriage in the first trimester. And of course, we work with couples who are TTC for the first time. At our clinic, we work with you whether you have decided to:

  • Begin ovulation induction using clomid/letrozole,
  • Employ IUI as a means to increase your chances, or
  • Embark on an IVF journey with a medicated cycle.

There are so many ways we can support you through this journey, but it will be through a consultation to see what works best for you.
