Built from research.
Born from experience.

Dejan Jasovic

The long way to the right place

Dex finished a degree in health science and sat the GAMSAT, fully intending to go into medicine. He had the results and he had the path in front of him. Then his third child arrived and he made a deliberate call: being a present father mattered more than the decade of sacrifice medicine would have asked of his family. So he deferred, and gave himself time to work out what came next.

What came next was personal. Dex had lived with anxiety since he was a kid. He had managed it, worked around it and pushed through it for years, but never really resolved it. Then, while he was training Muay Thai, he came across cold therapy almost by accident. The effect was immediate, and not only physical. The clarity he felt after a cold plunge, the shift in his nervous system, the way the background hum of anxiety quietened down for the first time in his life, all of it genuinely stopped him in his tracks.

So he did what he always does and went looking for the research. Why did it work? What was actually happening in the body? What else was out there that could do something similar? That search turned up float therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, neurofeedback, contrast work and infrared, a whole field of recovery modalities that were either locked away in academic journals or only available in the big cities to people who could afford a premium wellness membership.

In Victor Harbor there was nothing like it. No single place that brought these modalities together with the science to back them and someone who understood the physiology. So he built one.

That is still how the place runs. Every modality we offer has published research behind it, every science page on this site points back to the primary literature, and anything Dex tells you in a session he can trace to an actual study. It was a founding principle from day one, not because it markets well, but because it is simply the right way to work when people's wellbeing is involved.

Morgwn Jasovic

The other half of everything

Morgwn came to health her own way. She studied health science, medical radiation and naturopathy, a spread that says a lot about how curious she is about the way the body works on different levels. Before she could finish those studies, family took priority: three children, a husband mid-pivot, and a life being built in Victor Harbor.

When Mind Over Matter Practice started taking shape, Morgwn did not slot into a supporting role. She was there as an equal partner and creator from the start, and that included the science. She went through the literature alongside Dex and built the same grounding in how these modalities work, so she can read a study, follow the physiology, and explain what it actually means for someone in plain English. The science is not Dex's department that Morgwn passes along. They built it together, which means everyone who walks in is looked after by two people who genuinely understand what is going on in the body and why.

The business is as much hers as his: the operations, the client experience, the marketing, the content, the voice of the whole brand. Two people who built this because they needed it themselves, in a town that needed it too, and who decided early on that evidence was the foundation, not an optional extra.
