Serving Women & Their Loved Ones

Incredibly grateful for the support of Mark and Joyce during my IVF journey and through pregnancy. They were very compassionate, and always went above and beyond during treatments and in providing advice to ensure I was supported throughout. Azlin and the rest of the staff were also always kind and welcoming during my visits. Thank you to the team at Soma Clinic ♡

My husband and I started our acupuncture journey with Dr Mark, Julia, and Joyce over a year ago, and it has been truly life changing for our health. Soma Clinic is a calm, welcoming space where you feel genuinely cared for from the moment you walk in. The team are not only incredibly knowledgeable but also take the time to explain their approach, track progress, and tailor treatments to your individual needs. We have seen meaningful improvements in our overall wellbeing, stress levels, and long-term health. We are moving back to Australia soon, and Soma Clinic will be the one thing we regretfully cannot pack with us. We are so grateful to have found them. It has become an essential part of our health routine, and we couldn't recommend them more highly.

I saw Mark consistently throughout my fertility journey and into the first trimester of my pregnancy.
Mark is an extremely professional and capable practitioner. I used his Chinese herbs to help support me when trying and all the way to my 13th week of pregnancy, as I had a threatened miscarriage.
Thank you Mark and Soma Clinic for helping complete our family!

It has taken me a while to write this, but finally it is up. I wish to express my gratitude to Soma Clinic for its dedication towards patients. Special mention to my main practitioner, acupuncturist Ms Julia Nah for her unwavering support towards my recovery. I have always felt safe and she always allow me to take my time in getting used to the treatment and my condition. I was also treated by Dr Mark and lymphatic drainage therapist Ms Fynn on several occasions and I am equally grateful for their knowledge and respect towards me. Lastly, I would also like to thank the reception staff who were always so helpful and warm. Soma Clinic provides patients a sense of wellness and positivity which is very crucial for treatment and recovery. It is a trustworthy and credible clinic that I would recommend to patients who suit the treatment. Thank you to all at Soma Clinic.

I’ve found the Soma clinic to be extremely helpful and supportive in helping to balance cycles, PCOS symptoms and support during pregnancy. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Mark to anyone who is on their TTC, pregnancy or postpartum journey. He has always been very supportive and caring. Taking time to explain concepts to me as TCM was very unfamiliar to me at first. Everyone is always very helpful with scheduling appointments and queries I have afterwards.

I am in my second trimester and have been experiencing dizziness. Luckily Dr Mark has helped me with the acupuncture treatment, as I don’t prefer taking medicine.

Thank you for helping me on this and I will continue my treatment during my pregnancy.

Soma was actually recommended by my hubby's friend, whose wife conceived through IVF after treatments there. I started my treatments at Soma last year to strengthen my system, some time before my 3rd embryo transfer attempt. My first few sessions were with Dr. Mark & subsequesnt ones were with Julia, all of which involved acupuncture. The powdered formulations concocted were according to what each patient needed and were reasonably priced. Julia has gentle approach towards patients & each session actually felt very therapeutic to me after a stressful day at work. Dr Mark also responded to my questions and updates via email really quickly. After learning that I was pregnant after my 3rd embryo transfer, I had continued with my weekly session as a form of maintenance. Happy to announce that I carried my baby to full term and gave birth to a healthy baby boy in June!

Very good chi nei tsang by Monica. I had irregular period as my period was delayed by 3 months and after doing the trearment, my period came 2 days later. Very effective

My husband and I visited Soma clinic for consultation on conceiving. We met Dr Mark and he was really friendly and experienced, he gave us really good detailed advice and steps.

Recommended place to visit!

I came here as I was struggling with perimenopausal symptoms. I love their approach of looking at the body as a whole system. Dr. Mark asks all the right questions unlike many western doctors that I have seen !!

Dr Mark recommended amazing herbs for water retention that had an almost immediate impact and had me feeling great after ages! Highly recommend!

I was recommended to Dr Mark Chern at SOMA for acupuncture and herbs to help with my urgent prenatal concerns very late in pregnancy, and was helped by Azlin at the front desk. Her helpfulness and warmth that was apparent over the phone, translated in real life at the clinic. Friendly and supportive, Dr Mark listened to my concerns and had a treatment plan ready. Grateful to the SOMA team.

Been visiting this clinic since 2022 for acupuncture and I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Physician Julia Nah. I recently experienced her extraordinary commitment firsthand when she came in on her off day to squeeze in a session for me before my trip. Julia’s deep knowledge coupled with her willingness to go the extra mile to ensure her patients' well-being speaks volumes about her character and passion for her craft. Can’t thank her enough for my speedy recovery. Highly recommended to anyone looking for acupuncture.

Have been regularly seeing Fynn for lymphatic drainage massage and can highly recommend. There is no other place in Singapore that I have found where the lymphatic drainage massage is as effective as this.

Soma Clinic was the best recommendation from a friend! After trying a few TCM centers to help with the severe eczema flare that I’ve experienced due to hormonal changes, it was totally healed with a few intensive sessions of acupuncture and oral herbs. I have stayed eczema free for 7 years and now am back to get help for peri-menopausal symptoms.

Before going through the 2nd round of IVF transfer, I got to know SOMA clinic through a friend.
I am super grateful for Dr Mark and Dr Julia throughout my IVF journey.
Dr Mark has been prescribing me herbs for my auto-immunity issues and it also helps in my blood circulation of my uterus. I see Dr Julia for my weekly acupuncture from before transfer till after transfer to help support my growth of my little embryos inside me. The combination of Soma Clinic and Western medication helps me alot in my pregnancy.
I want to say thank you for the love and support from the staffs and doctors from SOMA clinic.

Mark and his team at Soma have been the most wonderful support during my fertility, pregnancy and postpartum journey. I got pregnant fairly quickly after starting acupuncture treatments with Mark upon moving to Singapore. Lymphatic treatments with both Fynn and Monica have significantly helped reduce water retention during my third and fourth trimester. I’m always looking forward to my sessions as I know I’m in the best hands and feel renewed after each session.

Thank you Mark and the Soma team!

I was struggling with Raynaud’s (Vasospasm) triggered by breastfeeding, and visited several specialists who were not able to help or even prescribe any medication as I was breastfeeding. I was recommended Dr Mark Chern, and after 2 therapy sessions my pain was completed relieved and the condition never bothered me again. Thanks Mark!

Justin Mok was also great with myofascial release, and helped to release the tension from my arms and back from long hours of caring for my newborn!

I began treatment at Soma Clinic after discovering issues with fertility. After a few months, I was able to successfully conceive naturally with the help of acupuncture and herbs. After becoming pregnant, I am continuing with treatment. This was especially helpful through the early part of pregnancy, dealing with headaches, morning sickness and fatigue. Although I attended the clinic mainly for fertility aid, I found myself receiving treatment for my general well-being in tandem with the fertility/pregnancy treatments, addressing issues such as sciatica/peripheral neuropathy. The one time I pulled a muscle in my shoulder it was fixed in a snap! My naturopath encourages me to write frequent updates via email to help guide treatments. This holistic clinic and approach to my general health is very beneficial and I believe has helped me in many ways.

I came in with a painful, limping hip and was diagnosed with trochanteric bursitis. Despite it being his day off, Dr. Mark responded with kindness and urgency, and saw me almost immediately. He administered acupuncture and applied a herbal patch — and to my amazement, within 12 hours I could walk normally again. After a second follow-up session with Dr. Joyce, who continued the acupuncture and herbal treatment, I felt completely healed. Both Dr. Mark and Dr. Joyce were attentive, compassionate, and incredibly effective. Their holistic approach and genuine care made all the difference. I can’t thank them enough!

Dr. Mark expertly worked through the achy spots in my shoulders in just one session. I had a weird, persistent pain that had been bothering me for months, and he made it disappear in a single visit. He made me feel safe and clearly explained every step of the process. The session was incredibly relaxing and exactly what I needed. I’ll definitely go back if I need help again! 🙂

I recently brought my helper to Soma Clinic for a wrist injury, and we had a very positive experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming, efficient, and professional. The doctor took the time to thoroughly assess her condition, explain the diagnosis clearly, and recommend the best course of treatment. What I really appreciated was their genuine care and patience in addressing all our concerns. The clinic was well-organized, with minimal wait time and a comfortable environment. My helper felt reassured and well taken care of throughout the process. I highly recommend Soma clinic for their excellent medical care and compassionate service. Thank you to the team for their dedication!

I’ve had some great sessions with both Justin and Mark but want to highlight that the acupuncture sessions with Mark have completely removed my otherwise unbearable post partum wrist pain. Just took two sessions. Very happy to recommend Soma Clinic to others!

I am now seeing both therapist for a nerve damage and continue to be amazed by their skills. Justin knows where all pain points in my body are; and Mark again was able to restore my ability to walk after two weeks of limping, some special acupuncture and diagnosis around the nerve release.

I can only highly recommend Soma Clinic!

Excellent Experience at Soma Clinic!
I visited Soma Clinic after spraining both of my ankles. To my great fortune, I had the opportunity to meet Mark, who provided exceptional care for both ankles.

My right leg was in worse condition, struggling to bear weight. However, after just one session with Mark, I felt significant improvement. Within two days, my right leg regained its ability to support weight.

Kudos to Mark and the helpful staff at Soma! Their expertise and kindness made a real difference in my recovery. Highly recommended!

I was experiencing a severe prolonged migraine and pain in my neck. Mark not only helped me deal with the pain through the use of neuroacupuncture and trigger release acupuncture but also recommended other therapies to help me recover. He referred me to JX, who used neurokinetic therapy to figure out which muscles were compensating, and Dr Belinda Ting at Performance Rehab Specialists. They all liaised together to help me recover from my excruciating pain for which I am incredibly grateful.

I’ve seen Dr Mark multiple times for acupuncture for my fertility and also for injuries. He is absolutely amazing. From the moment he inserts the acupuncture needles you can actually feel it working. I genuinely believe that acupuncture helped my body be ready for the creation of my first child after seven years of IVF. As I’m currently undergoing a FET cycle. I knew that I had to return for treatment. I went today and experienced a very intense but manageable treatment. When he inserted the needles for fertility treatment, I felt what was like an electric current from my ovaries right through to my pubic area. It quickly reduced to a small plus and I felt my whole lower area relax. I was actually so shocked I yelled then laughed. He also treated me for some hip bursitis and I will be honest, there were some painful moments but now, appropriately 7 hours later I am feeling genuine pain relief. I cannot recommend Dr Mark and the Soma Clinic enough.

Soma clinic has been wonderful at helping me manage sports injuries in a meaningful and sustainable way. Each of the specialists provides deep expertise in a complementary area that has helped to treat and solve my long term injuries. Highly recommend.

I came to see Mark the acupuncturist for what seemed like femoral nerve impingement on the right hip as well as other areas of tightness and muscle imbalances. He did muscle assessment as well as release using needles.

Subsequently, he referred me to see JX, who does a Full Body Structural Review. JX uses a form of muscle testing where he is able to determine relationships between muscles, hence finding out a chain of compensation down a kinetic chain. For example, for the pain on the front of hip, he found issues with my coccyx to the inner knee all the way down to the arch of one foot. JX then prescribed Release and Strengthen Correctives, which really helped sustain me during my yoga workshop.

It was nice to be able to get a range of different modalities all at one place at Soma Clinic.

Dr Mark and his clinic staff are amazing! I went to see Dr Mark at 36 weeks pregnant for post-partum herbs. Besides helping me find a good balance in my post-partum recovery, he also prescribed herbs at the end of my pregnancy which helped with my baby’s growth. The receptionist Azlin is also always so prompt to respond, friendly and kind. Dr Mark goes above and beyond to answer all my questions even after my post-partum sessions have ended. Would be happy to visit Soma clinic again on the future!

I have safely delivered a healthy baby and we are both doing well. Upon delivery, I also engaged Dr Mark for the confinement herbs package. We had weekly video consults which aided Dr Mark to personalize the herbs for the coming week based on my body and my needs.

It was helpful to also be able to consult about the confinement herbs/food my confinement nanny was preparing for me to ensure that it was complementing the herbs package too. And they then both managed my herbs intake to ensure that I do not get overly heaty.

Great experience with confinement herbs package. The herbs were curated weekly and Dr Mark would adjust the formulation based on the needs for the week - increasing milk supply, heatiness, post natal recovery etc. Felt great after pregnancy and recovery was very quick.

Had a very good experience with Soma Clinic for my confinement herbs. During my first session, I met up with Dr Mark who consulted me to determine my body type and needs and medical history so as to ascertain the best combination of herbs for me. After I delivered my baby and was in confinement, we had weekly tele consults to follow up with my progress on the herbs and Dr Mark would make recommendations on the upcoming week for what will suit my body and needs the most. I love the personal touch and custom plan to ensure my body has optimal recovery during confinement. Indeed I recovered and gained energy much faster as compared to after my first pregnancy. Thank you Soma Clinic!

I’ve been enjoying Soma Clinic’s specially designed confinement soups tailored for my postpartum recovery journey. Dr. Mark has been exceptionally attentive, patiently monitoring my health and providing valuable advice. The staff’s service is commendable. Highly recommend to all 🙂

At 10 weeks postpartum, I was still having light bleeding / spotting. I had to postpone my final gynae checkup 4 times in a row because the checkup required me to have no more discharge or bleeding for the postnatal pap smear to be performed. Decided to do a postpartum tele-consult with Dr. Mark. It was a really holistic consultation, where Dr. Mark checks in on different aspects of my postpartum recovery, including breast milk supply, weight loss progress, the types of confinement meals & drinks I’ve taken, etc. I felt like I was in excellent hands after the consult. The consultation showed that I was doing well in the department of Qi, but needed help in the area of Blood. The tip of my tongue showed redness, indicating heart heat, and there were also purple veins underneath my tongue, indicating blood stasis. Targeting these aspects, Soma Clinic formulated and sent over 7 densely pre-brewed packs of liquid confinement herbs. As every mom’s postpartum journey is unique, they customise the confinement soups to each individual based on the consultation. Mine was formulated to help clear heart heat, build blood, nourish blood and transform stasis. Definitely felt like I should have reached out to them much earlier!

Had a really pleasant engagement with Dr Mark and he was patient in explaining the treatment of moxibustion for me as my baby was in breech position. He was clear in detailing the chances of this treatment and asked pointed questions to find out about my history. Following my pregnancy, he prescribed three batches of confinement herbs that were customised to me and I was able to heal and recover well. He would communicate with me through consult and video calls to check on how I was doing and would be encouraging in my recovery progress. I’m thankful to him for taking care of me also that I can take care of my child!

Love the confinement soups offered as they are so easy to prepare. Just add a little hot water in my tumbler and it’s ready to drink. 🙂
