The take
When Orchard's pavements are at their stickiest, around the middle of the day, this is where we'd go: a 60-minute deep-tissue or Balinese massage in a private studio near Somerset, then guided breathwork to finish.
Meet Amara
Amara is a breathwork coach, and the session is built around that: a massage to loosen you up, then guided breathing before you head back out. It all happens in a private suite near Somerset that you book ahead, so the room is yours for the whole visit and nobody drifts through in a towel.
Highlights
- A 60-minute massage, deep-tissue or Balinese, at the pressure you choose
- Guided breathwork, with herbal tea and warm towels
- A private suite that's yours for the whole session
What you'll do

Arrive and unwind
Settle in with herbal tea and warm towels while you talk through the pressure you like. Mention any injuries here, before the massage starts, so the therapist can work around them.

Massage
A full 60 minutes of deep-tissue or Balinese massage at the pressure you agreed on. It's one style per session, so pick whichever your back needs more.

Breathwork
A 20-minute guided breathing reset closes the session. There's no pool or lounge to linger in afterwards, so you step straight back out into Orchard, a little slower than you came in.
Good to know

Robe and locker
Finding it: A private studio about 5 minutes from Somerset MRT (NS23). We send the address after booking so the suite stays quiet.
