Wellness activities and tips in Singapore
1. Qigong in nature and onsen soaks
“One of my favourite wellness rituals in Singapore is heading to the Chinese Gardens. Surrounded by nature, I practise qigong and a kind of “forest bathing” – breathing deeply, moving slowly, and letting the greenery ground me. It feels like a secret sanctuary away from the city’s rush. When I need deeper decompression, I turn to Yunomori Spa for an onsen soak. The warmth of the pools and the quiet atmosphere melt away tension, helping me reset body and mind. These rituals remind me that true wellbeing doesn’t always require an escape overseas; sometimes, it’s found right here at home.”
– Sophie Leung, somatic trauma informed coach, Sophie Leung Co
2. Quiet nature walks and chats
“I’ve been leaning into social wellness as my way of self-care. For me, that looks like simple walks through the Botanic Gardens a couple of times a week with my husband, and once a week with our youngest son. We don’t have an agenda. Sometimes we talk about the week, share little joys, make plans, or sometimes just wander and chat about nothing at all. It’s grounding and connecting. I’ve started choosing this for my friendships too. While I love discovering new restaurants, often the best catch-up is just walking side by side, talking as we go.”
– Anita Chughtai, founder and creative director at Miss Muffet Cake Boutique
3. Peaceful spa massages for alone time
“Aesthetics are my personal form of therapy. The right environment can instantly shift my state of mind, making me feel both calm and transformed. In Singapore, my sanctuary is Raffles Spa. It’s where timeless elegance meets modern serenity, with every detail designed to elevate the senses. For me, a visit is never just a massage – it becomes a visual meditation, a ritual of beauty, care, and renewal. Within that space, I feel embraced, like a rare pearl, and I always leave glowing, with a quiet strength and a refreshed outlook on life.”
– Natalia Moskaleva, creative producer and owner of Attitude Design Consulting
4. F45 and Bollywood dance classes
“Self-care is my superpower. I mix energising F45 sessions and Bollywood dance with indulgent monthly rituals like facials, nails, and hair treatments to recharge and stay centred in Singapore’s busy urban life. This focus on wellness isn’t just personal – it shapes how I run TheMeetUpSG, where every event is designed with care, intention, and energy in mind. By blending movement, reflection, and indulgence, I create experiences that leave participants feeling pampered, energised, and connected. Celebrating milestones and nurturing wellbeing go hand in hand – because thriving in business starts with thriving as a person.”
– Rosini Naidu, director and founder of TheMeetUpSG
5. Solo journaling with a cup of coffee
“As a birth doula supporting families through one of life’s most transformative experiences, I’ve discovered that clarity and emotional grounding are essential not just for my clients, but for myself. Morning Pages, a technique from Julia Cameron’s book The Artist’s Way, involves writing three pages of longhand, stream-of-consciousness thoughts each morning.
This isn’t structured journaling. The beauty of this practice lies in its flexibility. Some mornings, I write quietly at home before my daughters wake up, creating a peaceful start to our family day. But my favourite variation happens after the school drop-off. I treat myself to a cup of fresh-ground coffee and go into my writing at Cata Coffee.
Cata embodies a ‘no frills, just chill’ philosophy that perfectly complements the unfiltered nature of Morning Pages. The warm wood tones, geometric ceiling accents, and vibrant atmosphere create an energising transition from mum mode to work mode.
Whether at my kitchen table or Cata’s counter, this ritual has become my anchor, helping me navigate the demands of supporting new parents while staying connected to my own needs as both a mother and entrepreneur in Singapore’s wellness community.”
– Sulin Corella, birth and postpartum doula
