Meditation & wellness in East Perth

Twelve venues across Perth, most of them within sight of water — Scarborough Beach, City Beach, Cottesloe, Port Beach and Point Walter among them, alongside indoor rooms in West Leederville, East Perth, Burswood, Nedlands and Karrinyup shopping centre. Sessions run a flat sixty minutes on the hour and are communal rather than private, with venue capacities between seven and twenty. Cold water varies by site: ice pools, ice baths, ice showers, a magnesium pool, and at the beach venues the ocean itself. Booking is through the studio's own app.

A boxing gym on Wittenoom Street that separates learning the craft from being hit. Boxing Basics is a beginners' class in technique with no contact, and the partner drills that follow rule out contact to the head; sparring is a separate club you opt into by invitation. Classes run forty to fifty minutes, with a strength session in the same timetable.

A boutique spa in a converted house on Kensington Street, East Perth, with three massage rooms for singles and couples, a cabin with a cedar hot tub and fireplace, and upstairs lounges and a terrace looking back at the city. Massage and spa treatments with an infrared cocoon pod and a menu of body-contouring and skin technologies, and an adults-only bed-and-breakfast upstairs for a night-and-spa stay.

The Perth Central Service Office for AA in Western Australia, with meetings running every day of the week across the metro and country WA. Meetings are free, anonymous and open to anyone with a desire to stop drinking; the office is staffed weekdays 9am–4.30pm and the helpline answers around the clock.

Physiotherapy and exercise physiology attached to a 24/7 gym on Brown Street: 45-minute initial consults, sports injury management, dry needling and massage, with WorkCover, motor vehicle, Medicare and DVA pathways all handled. Physio hours run early mornings to 8pm most weekdays plus weekends.
