It’s clear that, in recent years, wellness has only grown in prominence. Biohacking is all the rage as we’re learning how to build better lives for ourselves, be it through a better understanding in our gut-brain axis, traditional Asian wellness rituals, or future-forward technologies that weave together nutrition, movement, mental health and beyond. Even closer to home, the rise of new gyms and recovery spaces across Singapore, Asia and further points to a broader shift. We’re looking past the surface, moving beyond superficial ideals of beauty. Instead—and fortunately so—more people are embracing intentional wellness habits that shape not only their health, but also how they see themselves and engage with the world around them.
Beauty insiders will know that Global Wellness Day takes place annually on 13 June—yet another marker of this growing movement within the healthcare and beauty industries. In the lead-up to these global celebrations, Vogue Singapore will host its first-ever edition of Vogue Wellness Day on 6 June.
“Vogue Singapore has always been about reflecting the way people live today. With Vogue Wellness Day, we aim to create a space that brings together different perspectives on wellbeing—grounded in expertise, but also relevant to how our audience approaches health in their daily lives,” says Natasha Damodaran, publisher of Vogue Singapore. Held at METT Singapore on 6 June, the event promises a day that is equal parts invigorating and insightful. Located in the lush gardenscapes of Fort Canning, the newly opened hotel is also home to the stylish private members club Madison House, slated for its official launch in Singapore by June this year.
What to expect at Vogue Wellness Day
Panel discussions
The highlight of Vogue Wellness Day, however, will undoubtedly be the dynamic panel discussions. Featuring over 30 leading practitioners, Olympic athletes, founders and thought leaders, these sessions will delve into some of the most pertinent conversations shaping the wellness space today. Conversations such as ‘Asian Remedies: Traditional Medicine in a Modern World’ will delve into the healing potential of Asian remedies and traditional healing systems often overlooked in mainstream discourse. Meanwhile, ‘The Politics and Philosophy of Your Plate’ will examine the role of nutrition as fuel for both body and mind, and spur a rethink at our relationship with food.
For those troubled by the tolls of modern day life, ‘From Burnout to Balance: Rethinking How We Feel and Live’ is meant to instigate conversations around burnout in the modern world—and how we can set patterns that will restore balance to our lives. With growing interest in the intersection of fitness and technology, ‘Built Not Born: The Performance Mindset of Elite Athletes’ will also see competitive athletes—like Olympian Amita Berthier—sharing insights into the mental resilience and fortitude that underpin peak performance.

Charlotte Mei, accredited nutritionist and content creator
Charlotte Mei is an accredited nutritionist and speaker known for translating complex nutrition science into clear, actionable insights. She works with organisations and individuals to build more grounded, guilt-free relationships with food and their bodies.
On how we should think about nutrition today—beyond diets and trends: The wellness landscape has grown to be obsessed with optimisation. But I want to challenge people to see that simplicity and adequacy are enough.
Candice Goh, founder of SOL House
Candice Goh began her foray into wellness while on a quest for hormonal balance and vitality. She soon discovered the healing powers of Vedic tradition, the oldest and most foundational form of yoga. Now as an Abhyanga practitioner and Yoga Wellness educator at SOL House, she bridges ancient elemental science with modern wellness, focusing on the delicate balance of the body’s natural rhythms.
On what Vogue Wellness means to her: “To me, Vogue Wellness represents transformation—an opportunity to reclaim wellness as an act of personal sovereignty rather than just another form of commodification. In the context of a hectic, fast-paced city life, these spaces are vital. They serve as a necessary threshold where we can pause, rethink our habits, and discover new ways to navigate modern living with more intention.”
Karmen Tang, nutritionist, model and content creator
Karmen Tang is a certified nutritionist, model, and lifestyle creator, redefining diet and nutrition in Singapore. She is also the founder and creative force behind Good For You, a platform where she shares Asian-inspired recipes and practical systems that support energy, sleep, brain function and gut health.
On what Vogue Wellness means to her: “Vogue Wellness is taking agency. It’s being educated and discerning, so you can make everyday choices that genuinely support your health, without rigidity, and with taste.”
Amita Berthier, Olympic fencer
Amita Berthier is Singapore’s leading foil fencer and Olympic representative, competing across the Paris Olympics and FIE World Circuit. A former World No.1 junior, she brings elite performance and a commitment to youth and community through sport.
On how she hopes the conversation around wellness in Singapore will evolve: “I’d love to see us move away from the binary of achievement versus rest—as if caring for yourself is somehow in opposition to being ambitious. The athletes I admire most aren’t the ones who grind hardest. They’re the ones who’ve learned to be strategic, to protect their energy, and to know when to push and when to pull back.”
Victoria Tan, founder and Chief Physician of Common TCM
Victoria Tan is a certified TCM physician, whose practice centres around root-cause medicine. As the founder and Chief Physician of Common TCM, Tan adopts a holistic and structured approach to patient care, working closely with her patients to identify underlying imbalances before developing personalised treatment plans.
On why initiatives like Vogue Wellness are important today: “Wellness today can feel fragmented. When we bring different disciplines together to create a shared language on wellness, we create clarity and that’s what people are really looking for.”
Riyana Rupani, nutritionist and founder of Everiday Foods
Riyana Rupani is a holistic nutritionist, recipe developer, and the founder of Everiday Foods, a clean-label pantry brand focused on simple, nourishing staples made with real ingredients. Having navigated her own experience with hormonal and autoimmune challenges, she brings both clinical insight and lived perspective to her programmes and recipes.
On her hopes for the future of wellness in Singapore: “Singapore sits at this incredible crossroads of modern science, Eastern health traditions, and a deeply rich food culture. So there’s a real opportunity to weave all of that into something that feels genuinely ours. I’d love to see wellness evolve into something accessible, sustainable, and supportive, rather than something people feel they have to constantly optimise.”
Natalie Dau, Ultramarathon runner and Guinness World Record Holder
Natalie Dau is a Guinness World Record–holding endurance athlete and global speaker known for pushing the limits of human performance through record-breaking ultra runs across Southeast Asia. Through her work, she champions resilience and purpose, using movement to inspire and uplift underserved communities.
On how she hopes the conversation around performance in Singapore will evolve: “I want to see Singapore’s performance culture evolve from ‘achievement at any cost’ to ‘sustainable longevity’. We must stop equating success with burnout and start viewing recovery as a high-level skill, not a weakness.”
Benjamin Kheng, musician, actor and writer
Benjamin Kheng might be best known as a Singaporean pop artist. But beyond his creative roles in singing, acting and writing, Kheng is a former national swimmer and fitness enthusiast, who now regularly collaborates with statutory boards and sport organisations to advocate for wellness and healthy living.
On how he hopes the conversation around wellness in Singapore will evolve: “I’d love to see us move from performative wellness to personal wellness. Wellness can quickly become a metric to chase, another thing to “get right”. We need to embrace nuance. Wellness doesn’t look the same for everyone and it shouldn’t! I’d also love to see more emphasis on community-based wellness. Shared experiences, such as run clubs, creative spaces, and conversations like this. A lot of what we’re looking for is connection over health.”
