Wellness in South Perth

A multi-disciplinary practice whose wellness coaching starts with a 20 to 30 minute consultation with an integrative health practitioner, taken face to face, by phone or by video. Coaching runs beside the clinic's other rooms — functional medicine, movement coaching, physiotherapy, chiropractic, acupuncture and massage — so a coaching client can be referred sideways without leaving the building. Open weekdays from 6.30am to 6pm.

Sifu James Lui teaches Choy Lee Fut kung fu alongside Lohan qigong at three hall-and-oval venues across the river — South Perth, Brentwood and Myaree. The qigong is not a warm-up bolted onto the martial art but its own stream, which is rarer in Perth than the number of kung fu schools would suggest.

Council-run centres for residents over 55, with keep-fit classes, yoga, tai chi, chess, bridge and bingo, plus visiting podiatry and hairdressing and shopping excursions. Term-based rather than casual.

A Hardy Street studio running barre alongside reformer and matwork, which is less common than it sounds — most Perth barre classes sit in gyms rather than Pilates studios. The studio is explicit that no dance background is expected; its own test is whether you can hold a barre. Yoga and private sessions run on the same timetable.

Rachel Diaz's appointment-only clinic on Canning Highway, South Perth. Curated facials and dermal therapies, skin needling, laser treatments, buccal facial work, massage, lymphatic compression and advanced hair removal, with the products used in treatments sold from the clinic — formulations without parabens, sulphates, petrochemicals or artificial fragrance. Open six days with late nights Tuesday and Thursday; bookings through Timely.

Flotation and recovery on the Canning Highway: 45, 60 and 90-minute floats (including pregnancy floats), infrared sauna, red-light therapy and contrast plunge combos. Sixty minutes in the salt runs $85, with five-packs and memberships for people who make it a habit.

The South Perth studio of the assisted-stretching franchise, where trained 'flexologists' run 25 or 50-minute one-on-one stretch sessions on benches, working through the whole body or a chosen focus area.

A foreshore kiosk beside the Coode Street playground doing acai bowls with seasonal fruit and house granola, plus smoothies and raw cold-pressed juice. Open Tuesday to Sunday, mornings into early afternoon.

A dedicated head spa on Charles Street, South Perth, where appointments start with a microscope look at the scalp and finish with a blow-dry. The two-hour Signature Head Spa is $299, with steam, a head bath and neck and shoulder massage; the Yume rituals use heated, fully reclining Japanese spa beds and run to $485. A 50% deposit is taken within 48 hours of booking, and appointments usually fill three to four weeks ahead.

Andrew and Servane Cox run weekly sound healing and guided meditation evenings — gongs, Tibetan and crystal bowls, medicine drum and chimes — every Friday night in South Perth, with a second weekly session in Joondalup. Beyond the regulars there are monthly sound immersions in the Yanchep cave, accredited sound-healing training, one-to-one sound therapy and naturopathy.
