Mind & mental wellbeing in Perth Central

Immersive 9D breathwork journeys in Perth — conscious breathing set against layered psychoacoustic sound, live shamanic vocals and chants, across twelve themed journey formats. Sessions book through Eventbrite.

Richard and Helena Boyd have run Energetics Institute from a Federation home in Inglewood for more than twenty years. Breathwork sits alongside their somatic psychotherapy practice — private sessions in the rooms or online, and group breathwork sessions that fold in sound. Both are professional members of the Australian Breathwork Association. Open weekdays to 7pm and Saturday mornings.

Gina Knight coaches on menopause and on low-carb and ketogenic eating, working from values and motivation rather than a prescribed plan. She is a professional member of the Health Coaches Australia and New Zealand Association and holds PreKure Health Coach certification. Sessions are booked online and start with a free discovery call.

Life in Flow is the breathwork arm of Breathe Counselling, a Perth counselling practice with rooms across the city. Joanna Gwynn, the practice's co-director and an internationally accredited breathwork practitioner with trauma-informed and somatic training, runs individual sessions in person and online and small group sessions, offered at the Perth, Rockingham and Mandurah clinics. The sessions are built as a series of five, each with a different focus, and are gentle enough for children.

Karen Haddon teaches the full eight-week MBSR program — weekly 2.5-hour classes plus a seven-hour retreat day — in person and online, alongside Mindful Self-Compassion, workplace and schools programs, and one-to-one coaching. The course runs $695 with payment plans and hardship rates offered without fuss, and a free fifteen-minute consult settles whether it's the right fit.

Eric Harrison has taught meditation in Perth since 1987 — some twenty-five thousand students on — with an approach that is deliberately rational and practical, free of spiritual framing. Day-long mindfulness workshops run one Saturday a month ($210, $150 concession) and include his textbook and guided audio for home practice.

Kevin teaches meditation from Aberdeen Street in Northbridge as a structured progression rather than drop-in sittings — three six-session courses running from a first introduction through to advanced practice, each with weekly materials and guided audio to take away.

Free meditation classes and workshops across Perth — Inglewood, Mount Claremont and Belmont among the venues — run continuously as a community service in the Sri Chinmoy tradition, with the Perth centre re-established in 1995. Classes are pitched at beginners, working from quietening the mind toward heart-centred meditation. Always free of charge.

Pranayama-based breathwork built around the traditional understanding of breath as life force: studio group classes, private one-to-one sessions at your home or chosen spot, and private group sessions for couples or friends. A guided audio library — The Breath Within — keeps the practice going between sessions.

Meg facilitates guided breathing practices across Perth studios — a regular Monday evening group class at Centre Space, hour-long private one-to-ones working through different breathing patterns and techniques, plus corporate workshops and retreats.

Annelise coaches movement one-on-one using the Anatomy in Motion approach — assessing how someone actually moves, then building take-home movement strategies and personal programming — with bodywork, breath training and pregnancy movement coaching alongside, plus on-demand classes online.

Krista teaches Vedic Meditation across Perth, Margaret River and Busselton — a four-day beginner's course preceded by a free intro talk, then weekly group meditations to keep the practice honest, with kids' programs, corporate training and retreats alongside. She came to teaching after fifteen years in WA mining and trained in the Himalayan foothills in 2020.

Elaine MacLeod has run The Peace Practice since 2016, working in the Usui/Holy Fire and Karuna Reiki systems from her Mount Lawley studio. One-to-one reiki sessions run in person or at distance, alongside reiki training workshops, space clearing, and reiki-infused meditation mini-courses. Bookings are online; gift vouchers available.

Health coaching from Lou Carbone, certified through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in both general and hormone health coaching. Work is sold as programmes rather than single appointments — a six-month one-to-one course, a shorter starter programme and a group detox and nourishment round — with functional testing available inside them. Sessions run online or in person around Perth, and a free 15-minute call comes first.

Breathwork and recovery studios on Beaufort Street (with a second room in Booragoon), running group breathwork, sound healing, yin, yoga nidra and slow flow alongside sauna and ice-bath contrast work. The $79 two-week unlimited intro is one of the better ways in the city to find out which of those actually suits you.

A training school running for over twenty years with more than four thousand students through its doors, teaching Reiki 1 and 2 and its own Ashati and Alsemia energy-healing systems from city venues on Mounts Bay Road and Barrack Street. The full practitioner program is $1,540 paid up front or about $266 per workshop on a plan, alongside healing sessions and intuitive development training.

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.

A Registered Music Therapist working in Subiaco, offering individual and group music therapy to all ages. Music therapy is recognised by the NDIS as a capacity-building therapeutic support, and sessions can be arranged on that basis or privately. Bookings and enquiries go through the therapist directly.

Ruth Balsiger coaches from an Ayurvedic starting point, working through food, routine and the seasons rather than a fixed plan. Sessions cover gut health, hormonal balance, mindful eating and nervous-system support, and clients get messaging access between appointments. Mostly online with some in-person work around Perth. She also publishes a podcast and a recipe book, and the site carries a dosha quiz as a way in.

Non-diet dietitians specialising in eating disorder recovery, with a weight-neutral, Health-at-Every-Size approach and credentialed eating-disorder clinicians on the team. Consults run $105–$240 depending on length and clinician, with Medicare rebates under eating disorder and chronic disease plans.

The Western Australian licensee for Master Choa Kok Sui's pranic healing system, affiliated with the Institute for Inner Studies. Runs pranic healing sessions and the full course ladder — Basic through Advanced, Pranic Psychotherapy, Psychic Self Defence, Feng Shui and Crystal levels — plus weekly Meditation on Twin Hearts and monthly full-moon meditations at venues around Perth.

Nutrition and lifestyle coaching from Sarah Hopkins, a CHEK holistic health coach at level three with a decade of clinical practice behind her. The work is weighted towards women's cycles and fertility — preconception, IVF preparation, endometriosis and hormonal patterns — with gut health and IBS alongside. Booking is through the site's own calendar.

Perth's first dedicated behavioural sleep medicine service: a team of sleep psychologists working with adults, teens and children in West Perth and Como, and by telehealth Australia-wide. The four-session Goodnight group program delivers CBT-I on Saturday mornings at $600 with Medicare rebates available, and individual sessions attract rebates under a mental health care plan with GP referral.
