Meditation & wellness in Northern Suburbs

A small studio in Connolly run by Louise Jennings, combining personal training with health and lifestyle coaching. Group fitness is capped at six, and one-on-one work runs alongside family sessions, post-pregnancy training and teen programmes. The coaching side covers menopause, weight management and lifestyle planning; a 75-minute lifestyle consultation takes in a nutrition plan, an exercise programme and goal setting. Group sessions are $21.50 and lifestyle plans $99, both published on the site.

The Joondalup room of the national endota chain, inside Lakeside shopping centre. The menu is the full spa spread: relaxation, remedial, hot stone and pregnancy massage, organic and clinical facials including LED, microdermabrasion and peels, plus body wraps and scrubs and the usual beauty services. Packages run from half an hour to three hours. A separate endota operates at Joondalup Resort, so check which one a booking is for.

Contrast therapy in a suburban Beldon setup: an infrared sauna and an ice bath, taken singly or alternated. Sessions are appointment-only and the space runs long hours — from 5am to 9pm — which makes it one of the few places in the northern suburbs you can do this before work. Thirty minutes in the sauna starts at $25, and the room can be booked for a group or hired outright.

A Finnish sauna house on Erindale Road, grown out of a mobile sauna that spent a couple of years touring Perth before settling into a permanent room. Sessions are built around aufguss — a facilitator working steam and scent through the sauna in rounds — with hot and cold magnesium plunge pools alongside, and a separate private room for anyone who would rather do sauna and ice bath alone. Physiotherapy and massage are booked from the same room, and the lounge runs group classes and events.

An award-winning salon and day spa on Whitfords Avenue, Woodvale, serving the northern suburbs for more than thirty years. Signature 'Vita' facials and DMK, Thalgo and Ultraceuticals treatments, Dermapen, IPL, LED and HIFU, brow lamination, lash lifts, makeup, spray tans and foot spas, waxing and IPL hair removal, massage and body treatments, and gift experiences. Open Monday to Saturday with late nights Wednesday and Thursday.

A communal bathhouse on Donovan Street, Osborne Park: a Finnish sauna, steam room, hot mineral bath and ice bath taken as a circuit on a day pass, with a treatment menu of massage, facials, body treatments and pregnancy massage alongside. All-gender and 18-plus, swimwear required; open seven days, from 6am on Thursdays and Fridays and until 8pm most nights. Packages, memberships and gift cards are sold on the site.

A day spa on the Scarborough Esplanade that added a bathhouse — magnesium bath, ice bath, sauna and rain showers — to its treatment rooms. Massage, facials and peels, pregnancy treatments, beauty and tanning, treatments for two and Sunday packages, using Vanessa Megan certified-organic skincare and the Medik8 cosmeceutical range. Bookings and gift cards run through Fresha.

A small day spa on Central Walk in the Joondalup centre, named Best Spa in Joondalup for 2025. Massage works on trigger points, facials and body treatments use Germaine de Capuccini skincare, and the menu is arranged into day-spa packages for men and women — a 90-minute package is advertised at $120. Open seven days except Wednesday, with later hours on the weekend.

Mandy Francisty runs day retreats around Perth and weekend retreats further afield — the next in Pemberton — built from slow-flow and restorative yoga, yoga nidra, meditation, breathwork, journaling and a vegan, gluten-free lunch, each day on a different theme. Based in Two Rocks, where there is venue hire, a sauna and ice bath and weekly yoga, she is a yoga and pilates teacher, breathwork practitioner, NLP and EFT therapist and personal trainer, and takes private bookings for hens, birthdays and teams.

A seven-bedroom retreat house for up to twenty guests on five and a half acres of orchard near the Moore River estuary, fifty minutes north of the city. Groups take the whole property — two lounges, meditation spaces, a games room, fireplace — with an eight-metre air-conditioned yurt for yoga, meditation, breathwork and sound. Facilitators hire it for weekend retreats and the house hosts its own calendar of events; the downstairs layout is step-free.
