The Oria local guide
Most of what South East offers is Retreats, Nature & Experiences and Spa & Recovery — and there is more besides.

Dr Jini, a registered practitioner in the Indian system of medicine practising Ayurveda since 2004, runs this Beckenham clinic offering dosha-based consultations, therapeutic oil massages, herbal preparations and dietary guidance. Bookings are online and HICAPS is accepted, along with most common payment methods.
A long-running float space in Willetton that has grown into a compact recovery studio: float tanks for full sensory rest, plus sauna, cold plunge and red light therapy. One of the few float options south-east of the river.
João Soares pairs breathwork with registered counselling — an ACA-registered counsellor and somatic therapist running 9D breathwork sessions, fortnightly group workshops, one-to-one work and a 100-hour IPHM-accredited practitioner training from Southern River.
A volunteer-run meditation centre teaching Raja Yoga meditation through free introductory courses, public talks and workshops, with an ongoing Thursday evening class for those who have completed the intro course. All courses, classes and retreats are offered free of charge.
A not-for-profit community arts group in Riverton running term classes and workshops in pottery (wheel and hand work), painting and crafts for adults.
A City of Canning centre running three distinct aqua classes rather than one generic timetable: Aqua Fit as a cardio and conditioning session for sixteen and over, Aqua Stick using rubber bands on a bar for added resistance, and Revitalise Aqua, a low-impact class the city describes as designed for people over fifty. A second pool runs the same programme at Riverton. Bookings open twenty-two hours before each class.
General and sports podiatry on Pattie Street with radial shockwave therapy, deep-tissue laser, podiatric joint mobilisation, nail surgery, paediatric care and orthotics. Open Monday to Thursday 9am–5.30pm and Friday mornings.
Kelmscott's float rooms sit inside a broader day-spa menu: floatation therapy alongside massage, infrared sauna and beauty treatments, making it easy to stack a float with table work in one visit. One of the only float options in the south-eastern corridor.
A Byford property running equine assisted therapy and learning, therapeutic riding and hippotherapy. Sessions involve grooming, groundwork, observing the herd, leading horses and supported riding, and can be booked individually, as a family or in groups. Self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants are welcome and progress notes can be provided.
An acai bar in Westfield Carousel building bowls to order, with the toppings chosen at the counter rather than off a fixed menu.
A retreat centre on ten acres of bushland in the Perth hills, with a seasonal creek, native forest and an octagonal yoga shala. Alongside weekly classes it runs a monthly one-day silent retreat, longer weekend retreats through the year, self-guided personal retreat stays and long-form teacher training. Retreat days fold in bush walks on the property.
A Harrisdale recovery room with ice baths, a traditional sauna, compression boots, red light and massage guns, plus body composition scanning for anyone tracking the numbers. Stretching classes run alongside.
An evidence-based remedial clinic near Carousel, running since 2017 under AMT-accredited founder Sowol Cheong — remedial massage with cupping and dry needling, foot reflexology, pregnancy massage, plus acupuncture and moxibustion from the East Asian side of the practice. Open seven days, 10am to 8pm.
Dr Jini, a registered practitioner in the Indian system of medicine practising Ayurveda since 2004, runs this Beckenham clinic offering dosha-based consultations, therapeutic oil massages, herbal preparations and dietary guidance. Bookings are online and HICAPS is accepted, along with most common payment methods.
Four instructors, four styles — Sun with Rod Hardwick, Wu with Shirley Owen, Chen with Zhou Lee and Yang with Mark O'Shea — teaching from Rossmoyne's scout hall and primary school. The gentle Balance program on Friday mornings is built for over-50s, while the structured Pathway levels run Saturday mornings and Monday evenings from beginner through advanced. Corporate classes and online videos round it out.
Sound baths in the hills above Armadale — fortnightly Sunday sonic immersions plus sunset, full-moon and cacao-ceremony sessions, with mats, bolsters and blankets provided. The bush setting is half the experience, and a three-event pass suits people who want it as a regular reset rather than a one-off.
Catherine Angel has practised Western herbal medicine, homeopathy and naturopathy from the southern hills since 2007, with a dispensary side making creams, teas and made-to-order homeopathic kits. Consultations run 90 minutes initially at $140, follow-ups $85, with 30-minute acute appointments at $45 and discounts for unwaged clients — open weekday evenings to 8pm.
A large health food and natural health store at Southlands Boulevarde in Willetton, stocking wholefoods, organic and specialty foods, vegan and gluten-free lines, supplements, natural skincare and eco-home goods, with naturopaths and nutritionists consulting in its in-store clinic.
A beauty salon and medi-spa in the Ranford Road shopping centre, Canning Vale. Facials with Ultraceuticals and O Cosmedics, dermaplaning, hydrabrasion, LED, OxyGeneo, skin needling, IPL and RF, chemical peels, waxing, SHR and electrolysis hair removal, lash and brow work, massage and body treatments, and spa packages; memberships from $99 a month. Open six days with late nights Wednesday and Thursday.
Bea has practised paediatric occupational therapy since 1991, working across sensory processing, fine and gross motor development, motor planning, visual perception, handwriting and sleep routines for the south-eastern corridor from Canning Vale to Kelmscott. Registered with Medicare and private health funds.
Social worker Liz Dos Santos runs ground-based equine sessions on a small Oakford property. The main offering is the seven-session Horse Wisdom Program for people aged 13 and over, alongside corporate team days. No riding is involved — the work happens on foot alongside the horses. NDIS registered.
13 places have no street address on file, so they are not on the map.
Counted from the places Oria Haven lists here, which last changed 9 October. A place counts once for each kind of practice it offers. Prices are the lowest each place publishes for a session; many publish none, and each sets and changes its own.
A few details to check before you head out.
Confirm times, prices and booking requirements with the provider.
Check the organiser's updates on the day. Outdoor sessions can change with the weather.

Oria Haven lists 20 places in South East across 13 kinds of practice. The most common are Retreats, Nature & Experiences (5), Spa & Recovery (4) and Mind & Mental Wellbeing (4). A place counts once for each kind of practice it offers.
2 of the 20 places publish a starting price, from $25 to $45. What you pay depends on the experience, and each place sets and changes its own, so check the listing before you go.
1 of the 20 places lists its sessions as free or by donation.
We build the directory ourselves rather than taking paid submissions, so a practice appears because it exists and serves Perth — not because it paid. Practices can claim their listing for nothing and keep it accurate, photos included. Paid plans add booking links, offers and visitor stats. We never take a cut of bookings, and enquiries go straight to the practice.
