That’s precisely the gap that Prologue seeks to fill. Located conveniently in Ngee Ann City, Prologue was launched to redefine what it means for women to access healthcare, offering an integrated blend of medical expertise, lifestyle support and a holistic approach to well-being. Here, the focus isn’t just on symptoms, but on long-term vitality, prevention and the confidence to navigate every chapter of womanhood.
Treatment room
Walking into Prologue, you’re greeted by a sense of calm that’s intentional, from the gentle lighting to the thoughtfully appointed lounge. The space is purposefully designed to be aesthetically pleasing and foster an environment where women feel empowered to openly share their health concerns, knowing they’ll receive both empathy and expertise. The centre’s approach is grounded in the philosophy of lifestyle medicine, combining the latest medical knowledge with everyday habits such as nutrition, movement, and sleep. Their team is comprised of doctors, health coaches, dietitians, and physiotherapists, who work closely together to craft personalised programmes that cater to individual needs and life stages.

For women living with complex conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) — a hormonal disorder that can make weight loss, sleep and even skin health feel like uphill battles — this kind of tailored care is a game-changer. As someone who has struggled with PCOS for years, I found myself turning to Prologue for a reset, searching for answers that had always felt just out of reach in more traditional clinics.

My introduction to Prologue’s Weight & Wellness Reset Programme began with an in-depth consultation. This wasn’t just a weigh-in and a handout of calorie charts. Instead, it was a conversation: What was my typical day like? What were my main stressors, sleep patterns, and energy levels? What had I tried before, and what always felt unsustainable? It’s an approach that feels rare and rooted in curiosity, as well as genuine concern, rather than a standardised protocol.
The programme itself was refreshingly holistic. It combined comfortable, painless machine treatments with practical consultancy on diet, daily routines and even exercise habits tailored for women with hormonal imbalances. The standout was the Vanquish ME treatment, a non-invasive technology designed for body contouring and fat reduction. For anyone wary of the discomfort or downtime often associated with such treatments, Vanquish ME was a revelation: no pain, no feeling of “pinch”, just a gentle, warming sensation as the device worked over the target areas. Each session was relaxed and easy, fitting seamlessly into my schedule, with zero recovery time needed.
But what really set Prologue apart was how every touchpoint felt designed for sustainability rather than a quick fix. Rather than being handed a rigid meal plan or admonished for slow progress, I was coached on how to make incremental, realistic changes. This included nutrition strategies that addressed the particular appetite swings and cravings commonly associated with PCOS, gentle adjustments to daily movement, and practical, non-judgmental support for improving sleep habits. The ongoing dialogue with Prologue’s team through regular check-ins and encouragement made a real difference in helping me stick to healthier habits.
Strength suite
Throughout my sessions, the staff never once made me feel like I was “the problem to be fixed”. Instead, they recognised the nuances of living with PCOS and worked with me to create a routine that complemented my lifestyle, rather than upending it. This sense of partnership was empowering, especially for someone used to feeling misunderstood or dismissed when discussing hormonal challenges elsewhere.
In the weeks that followed, I noticed subtle but steady changes. My energy levels picked up, sleep improved, and the dreaded feeling of constant bloat and heaviness gradually eased. These we thank to my new workout and eating habits, as well as the Vanquish ME sessions. Although I did not notice any significant weight loss, I emerged with a renewed sense of motivation. For the first time, my efforts felt supported by a team that genuinely understood the complexity of women’s health, especially when it comes to conditions like PCOS that require more than just willpower or willful optimism.
Prologue’s approach isn’t about overhauling your life overnight, nor is it about chasing an unrealistic version of wellness. Instead, it’s about meeting women where they are, providing expert care in a safe, welcoming space and empowering each of us to write our next chapter of health.
