The Wellness industry in Singapore faces challenges related to untrained service providers, inconsistent competency standards, and consumer safety risks. Recent incidents highlight the need for clear guidelines to ensure safe and effective treatments. The Specialists in Wellness Association Singapore (SWAS) advocates for industry-wide competency recognition, professional accreditation, and structured training to enhance service quality and business competitiveness. Key concerns include misleading qualifications, workforce shortages, and operational challenges.
