Belinda guides forest bathing (shinrin-yoku) walks in bushland and gardens within about an hour of the Perth CBD, and also works in the South West. Walks are deliberately slow — roughly 2km over two to three hours, with long pauses for stillness and sensory exercises rather than distance covered. Nature journaling, workshops and workplace sessions are also offered.
Euphemia teaches small-group workshops from Hamilton Hill: Reiki levels one to three ($200–$390), a six-week Awaken & Raise Your Vibration course ($320), a reiki and chakra balancing weekend ($350) and a $30 pendulum workshop, with online meditation and journaling at $10 a week. Healing sessions include sound meditation, clairvoyant readings and aura drawings.
Kristina Ritchie pairs Reiki I and II certification with diplomas in remedial massage, remedial therapies, herbal medicine, naturopathy and mind/body psychotherapy. Her Fremantle practice offers reiki at $120 an hour ($170 for ninety minutes), intuitive counselling and coaching from $120, and remote sessions by Zoom or phone.
A not-for-profit centre teaching modern Buddhist meditation, with its home in East Fremantle and weekly drop-in classes across the metro — Joondalup, Kingsley, Bayswater, Baldivis and free lunchtime sessions at the WA Museum. Drop-ins are $15, need no booking, and assume no background whatsoever.
