Thera Sanctum is a naturopathy and herbal medicine practice in Singapore. We journey alongside people living with autoimmune conditions, chronic skin and joint issues, low mood and depression — and those who simply want to stay well — using herbs, food and lifestyle. We also have a focus on growing, using and teaching local herbs in Singapore.
Thera Sanctum was founded by John Tang, a naturopath and medical herbalist who has lived with chronic skin, joint and mood challenges himself. That experience shapes how we work: we listen first, look for what may be driving your symptoms, and build a plan you can actually follow.
Thera comes from the Ancient Greek therapeia (θεραπεια) — attentive care, service and healing, given with devotion.
Sanctum is Latin for sanctuary, a protected, set-apart place: a refuge for rest, renewal and restoration.
Together, Thera Sanctum means a sanctuary of care — a safe place to be heard, to rest, and to heal. It is why our promise is simple: rooted in care, guided by nature.
To empower people to heal holistically and naturally.
A world where naturopathy and local herbs are integrated into primary healthcare and prevention.
Rooted in the seven principles of naturopathic medicine, and lived out in how we care for you.
We care for the whole person — mind, body and spirit — because healing comes from balance, not from treating one symptom in isolation.
We honour time-tested herbal traditions and understand them alongside modern research, so your care is both gentle and considered.
Knowledge is healing. We explain what we see and why, so you can take an active part in your own wellbeing.
We work alongside your doctors and other care, never against them, and always with your safety in mind.
You will be met with respect, honesty and time to be heard — a safe place to bring whatever you are carrying.
We believe healing people and caring for the land go together, and we work toward practices that renew both.
One-on-one naturopathic and herbal medicine consultations for autoimmune conditions, chronic skin and joint issues, low mood and depression, and preventative health — with a personalised plan you can actually follow.
Hands-on workshops where you learn to use food and herbs for everyday health, in plain language and with practical take-home skills.
We grow local herbs for use in our practice, and we teach everyday Singaporeans how to grow and use their own herbal medicine at home. Our hope is to see this knowledge spread far and wide.
Naturopath and medical herbalist, with a Bachelor of Naturopathy and Herbal Medicine (New Zealand) and membership of the Naturopaths & Herbalists Association of Australia.
Thera Sanctum’s care complements, and does not replace, the care of your doctor. Naturopaths do not diagnose or treat medical conditions.
Whether you are living with something long-standing, feeling low, or simply want to stay well, we would be glad to meet you.
