Vincent Leong18/10/24 - Chris did post-partum lymphatic drainage massage and belly binding. She demonstrated her excellent experience through her treatment techniques.

Harshada Patil08/10/24When I had an emergency C section, I knew that my postpartum recovery would be much slower than for a natural, uncomplicated delivery. I was on the lookout for a professional who understood my body and could help me regain some of my confidence back. I am thankful and appreciative of Chris and her belly binding services have been very helpful in losing some inches. I appreciate her warmth, kindness and knowledge and I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking at a competent belly binding specialist who is both caring and competent.read moreread less 
Mya S –08/10/24Chris had correctly diagnosed my chronic shoulders, arms and back pains which I had endured for years. Visits to osteopaths and physiotherapists did very little for my conditions as my problem was toxins built up from injuries over many years. The lymphatic drainage and air cupping were so effective that I was able to resume normal movements after a few sessions. She is also caring and takes time to listen to her patients. I believe her holistic approach is one main reason to her success as a practitioner in her field. Thank you very much, Chris. Wishing you all the very best in your service to the community.read moreread less

Sarojini Kumar29/09/24 - Heard about belly binding from a friend and after doing some research decided to give it a try. Best decision of my life. Aunty Chris promised she would give me my post pregnancy face and curve back. I was optimistic but sceptical. Straight after my lymphatic drainage massage, my jawline looked sharper than before pregnancy. And after 10 days of belly binding I could finally see that elusive hourglass figure. Honestly exceeded my expectations and this was all done with care, guidance and a lot of effort on her part. She also helped to treat my hand which aches a lot from too much texting and carrying the baby. Grateful to have met her and can’t wait to take my family to meet this kind woman and her healing hands.read moreread less

- Highly recommend the postpartum massage to all the mums out there! Chris is very passionate in what she’s doing and very knowledgeable in both western and alternative medicine. I suffered from neck and shoulder tightness and lower back pain for 2 years after my first birth. I have seen many physiotherapist, remedial massage, acupuncture but it was all temporary pain relief. After the lymphatic drainage, the tightness over my neck and shoulder is gone, my face glowed and significantly less puffy, my energy level increased and I literally felt brand new. Chris could easily tell what’s wrong with my body and treat the root cause that’s causing the pain and aches. I trust her fully with my health and wellbeing.read moreread less Jen Nee11/01/23 Chris is amazing with her broad knowledge and skill and always wanting to do better for her clients. I have had two sessions with her for trigger point therapy. I have had constant annoying pain in my left shoulder due to my work and over-doing my work-outs in the gym!
She restored most of my shoulder movement after 2 sessions! I also look forward to a cupping session with her soon. 😀😀😀 Not only is she a great clinician/healer but she is also a very charitable woman. Highly recommend you book an appointment!!read moreread less Rino Carraro21/11/22 Leonard from Singapore here. Chris was able to help diagnose my back injury as well as a past injury in my rotator cuff which apparently still had remnants not yet fully recovered yet. The lymphatic drainage and cuppage treatment helped remove and eliminate the remaining toxins from my body and I was able to recover quicker as a result.read moreread less Leonard Ethan Mah12/11/22 - I am Agnes from Singapore. I had a number of health issues that had been troubling me for quite a while. I coughed badly for a few weeks due to a bad chest congestion, stomach bloating, insomnia, trigger finger and pigmentation around the mole on my right cheek. My bestie of 30 years, Chris Chai dropped by for a visit last week and gave me several lymphatic drainage/cupping and massage treatments for these various ailments. Almost immediately my chest felt lighter and my cough was greatly reduced, I slept quite well even without air condition, my stomach felt smaller n less bloated, my fingers could bend better and my mole became smaller and lighter and area of pigmentation was smaller n healing. I give thanks to God for sending Chris to give me the much needed treatment and healing! She also treated my family members for various ailments! I highly recommend Chris to those with pain, discomfort and health issues. She is gentle, caring and highly knowledgeable in nutrition and skilful in her areas of expertise! THANK YOU SO MUCH CHRIS CHAI!read moreread less Agnes Mah11/11/22 I’ve been suffering years of pain and sickness, without knowing what the real issues were or how to seek help. When I met with Chris she was able to tell what issues I was suffering from, and she treated me with manual lymphatic draining and cupping treatment. Even after 1 session, I felt the difference… More refreshed and alert, my eyes and skin were brighter, I felt lighter, could sleep better, no more pain in my knees from walking, and no more hip/waist pain from 2 falls I had several months ago. Chris also removed the adhesions from my C-sec scar which has been causing me lower back pain, and I haven’t felt the pain since… On top of that, she educated me on what diet would be good for me to help me improve my health and immunity. Wellness overhaul – checked ✔️ Thank you so much, Chris!read moreread less Cheryl Mah11/11/22 I am happy and satisfied with the postpartum belly binding done by Chris.

1 April 2022read moreread less Bee Oertel01/04/22 Highly recommend Chris and her tasty confinement cooking! She has been wonderfully accommodating to my aversion of certain meats and goes out of her way to make sure you’re happy with the menu planned for the week ahead. She also tailored the menu to help with my caesarean wound recovery.
This is a great option to consider for those mothers who want meals prepared for the month after delivery which will nourish and promote a quicker recovery.
My favorite dishes would have to be the ginger rockling, ginger chicken with gogi berries and egg custard with minced meat. But having said that, all the dishes have been delicious!read moreread less Karen Yeoh30/03/22 - I had the best 2 hour session with Chris.

She also keeps checking on me to make sure I like that food and tailor it according to my preference as best she can. I would definitely order her food again if I’ve a second baby.
