What people say after they leave

Yesterday I had the most amazing facial and massage with Claudia. From the moment I walked in I felt instantly nurtured, the whole experience made me feel taken care of. What an amazing place, the products used are beautiful and the ambience throughout was so relaxing. I would definitely book again the next time I am in Kyneton.

My husband Gary & I went to Maiaveda for a Panchakarma, an Ayurvedic cleanse. We had treatments that would help our bodies prepare for a very deep cleanse. It was an amazingly powerful and empowering life changing experience spiritually, emotionally physically and mentally. We were welcomed with a lot of warmth & reassurance. Each visit was filled a lot of genuine love, support and compassion. Nothing was ever too much trouble, you had Marye’s & her team 100% focus & attention. The treatment rooms were truely unique filled with loving calm energy. Both my husband & I could not recommend it more highly. A place well worth a visit.

I had an absolutely incredible experience at Maiaveda!! The moment I walked in, the atmosphere was so calm and welcoming. The space is peaceful, and instantly puts you in relaxation mode. The massage itself was exactly what I needed, easily one of the best I’ve ever had. Claudia was highly skilled, attentive, and made sure to check in at the right moments. I felt completely rejuvenated and relaxed afterwards. You can tell that everyone who works there is truly passionate about what they do, wanting to make sure everyone has the best experience possible. I can’t wait to book my next appointment. Highly recommend. Xx

We had a great time at Maiaveda health retreat and spa. It was my husband's birthday and we booked massages for my family. They even had option for our 7 years old daughter. Clean rooms, clean towels, great ambiance and very accomodating girls. Claudia made sure that i am comfortable throughout my massage as i have several back issues and it gets really hard for me sometimes to lie flat on bed. Pressure was perfect. Oils smelled great. My daughter and husband had great time as well. They also treated us with some goodies in the end for my husbands birthday and we loved the jesture. My new favorite spa in Melbourne.

My previous experiences with massage & facials have been per functionary to address an injury or in the lead up to special event. How lovely then that my two hours experience was a purely selfish indulgence. I was kept warm the whole time and even drifted off to sleep! Can't recommend Pam or the service I experienced highly enough!

From one tired and sore mum, the pregnancy massage was beyond incredible. From the moment I walked up the stairs to Maiaveda, I felt a sense of peace. Marye welcomed me with such warmth, and the beautiful aromas instantly made me feel relaxed. The oils smelled divine and felt so nourishing on my skin. Claudia’s massage was amazing — I actually walked out feeling like I was floating. I’ll definitely be back. It wasn’t just a massage; it was a whole mind and body reset. I’m so grateful to have experienced this

An absolutely gorgeous atmosphere with gentle lighting and subtle aromas in the air. Marye is so in tune, and a truly brilliant practitioner. I felt completely nurtured and relaxed beyond words:)

I’ve been visiting Maiaveda for the past six years, and it continues to be my absolute sanctuary. Every experience is consistently nurturing, professional, and deeply restorative especially through my pregnancies. During my current pregnancy, I had massage with Claudia, and she was incredible. All the therapists knowledge, care, and intuition make me feel completely supported and safe each time. They all have a beautiful way of adapting the treatment to exactly what your body needs, and I always walk out feeling lighter, calmer, and genuinely cared for. The environment at Maiaveda is warm, peaceful, and truly holistic exactly what you want when looking to unwind or reconnect with yourself. I recommend it wholeheartedly, especially for pregnancy care. It’s a place where you can trust you’ll be looked after with kindness and expertise.

Thank you Marye and Pam, 90 minute massage, scub and reflexology treatment. Gentle, warming and restorative. I felt relaxed and comfortable for the entire experience. We are very fortunate to have this business in Kyneton. You will be in very good hands. Namaste ❤️

Quite honestly the most wonderful massage experience I've ever had. Marye made me feel welcomed from the moment I stepped through the door. The massage was incredible leaving me feeling utterly nourished and relaxed. I can't recommend Maiaveda enough.

Yesterday I had the most amazing experience from the moment I walked through the door and met Pam The massage and environment the experience was nurturing for body and mind I would highly recommend and will I return.

Marye and her staff provide the most wonderful services. From the moment you walk in the door you leave the world behind and feel very nurtured in this amazing place. I have been going to Maivida for the last couple of years after a recommendation from a friend and the experience is the best. Thank you Marye for the wonderful service you provide. In the words of the great Tina Turner, “simply the best”.

I had an incredible time at Maiaveda. Each of the treatments I received were so wonderful and Pam had me feeling so relaxed and held. The attention to detail, and the in between treatment moments are where I especially noticed just how much care was put into the experience being wonderful. I definitely recommend!

Marye has created a true sanctuary. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I felt completely enveloped in a sense of peace. Marye radiates a genuine, warm and nurturing energy that is incredibly rare to find. She took the time to listen to exactly what my body and mind needed, tailoring the experience with such profound care and kindness. During the treatment, I felt completely safe to let go and deeply rest. If you are looking for a place to heal, unwind, and feel genuinely nurtured from head to toe, this is it. I cannot wait to return.

I floated out of Maiveda, feeling relaxed and moving so easily. It is a truly nurturing experience . Thankyou to Marye & your beautiful Team.

To anyone who is interested in going to Maiaveda please don’t hesitate, hurry and book now. I have never been so looked after and so loved by Marye. I have never felt so amazing after my time at Maiaveda. If you’re feeling lost, lonely or sick of yourself please contact Marye now. You won’t regret it.

I attended the Women's Embodiment Retreat at Hepburn Springs. It was a beautiful peaceful setting. Mayre has a warm, generous, nurturing and healing spirit, as does her team that assist her, and makes the whole weekend flow effortlessly. A beautiful balance of yoga, meditation, life lesson wisdom and different workshops to try eg drumming and shigong, hammam experience, massages on offer, hot tub and cold plunge, a firepit circle at night, delicious food. This is a soul nourishing retreat, no pressure, welcoming, with other like minded women sharing a weekend together, looking for sustenance to continue with our busy lives. A weekend of self care. All I had to do was show up. Mayre took care of the rest. Highly recommended.

This is my 2nd visit and wow, it won't be my last.I have had the best massages ever.The owner Marye transports your mind body& soul to another place, some people are blessed with healing hands and she has been blessed.I can't thank her enough and can only wish that her lovely business is there to stay for many years to come.She is the best.Love Cheryl

Maveida Spa is such a beautiful experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed into the space. The massage and facial was a truly sensory and holistic journey and I left feeling wonderfully restored, relaxed and nurtured. I would highly recommend Maveida Spa. ✨

Wohlfühlen und Entspannung pur... Die Atmosphäre des Hauses, die Atmosphäre welche die Mitarbeiter und Chefin erzeugen... es ist eine ganz andere Welt wie vor der Türe. Wer nach Kynston kommt, kann ich nur empfehlen sich die 2 Stunden Auszeit zu gönnen.

I had the signature massage, it was so beautiful, relaxing and I felt like I was in heaven during and afterwards. I can't wait for another one

Marye is truly incredible. Her touch, her energy, and her calming presence feel absolutely magical. Every time I see her, I leave feeling grounded, supported, and deeply connected. She even took time out of her day off to hold space for me on my birthday, which shows her genuine care. Marye is a true light and an angel in human form. I can’t recommend her enough. 🌸🙏

Wonderful experience at Maiaveda. Maggie took such amazing care during the session, l felt like l was in a cocoon. Thank you for holding space and for providing such an amazing experience.

At Maiaveda I left feeling grounded, inspired, and nourished. They were gentle but exactly what was needed. Each experience was different. The beautiful ladies who work there made me feel special, loved and blessed.

Switching seamlessly between deep reassuring pressure and the lightest continuous ‘laying hands on’ all while integrating hot towels, fragrant oils, sound bells, rolling balls and weighted bags. The effect is richly sensual, transporting and mind calming. Life will stop, the busy world of adulting vanishes. Breathe. Taking this precious time to be swaddled in warm love like an infant feels necessarily grounding and replenishing. If you have ever been told to look after yourself this experience is the embodiment of care and love.

This was my first visit and my first time experiencing an Ayurvedic treatment. Having chosen the Ayurvedic 'nourish and restore' with steam therapy, I can hand on heart say these treatments with Marye were amazing. I would highly recommend Maiaveda for anyone looking for a few hours of blissful escapism from everyday life.

I had a beautiful, soulful retreat with Marye and the team. The massages and treatments were the best I have ever had and my skin is amazing after the two facials! Great yoga and wellbeing resources too. Highly recommend!

Marye is one of the most ethical and heart-centred Practitioners that I have had the pleasure to meet. I have had many helpful treatments at her beautiful and calm Maiaveda in Kyneton for several years now. They have all been very good and the quality and ambience is fantastic. I also had the pleasure of attending her Women's Embodiment Retreat recently and I can highly recommend it to others. We were all genuinely nurtured, nourished and rejuvenated, and it is one of the best retreats I have ever attended. I would definitely go again. Don't hesitate to attend solo, it is a very safe and calm retreat with nourishing, delicious healthy food all weekend.

I almost have no words for how incredibly grateful I feel for booking this private retreat experience with Maiveda. From the moment I arrived, I felt seen, cared for and completely safe to be nurtured. In fact, I haven't even gone home yet but wanted to write this in the bubble of this incredible experience. Every treatment I had was exquisite, and was done with such love and intention. I am going home tomorrow feeling inspired, loved, and ready to take responsibility for how I am showing up each day - with credits in the energy tank. Thank you Marye, Pam, Patricia and Inta. You are all exceptional at what you do.

Attending the wellness retreat was nothing short of life-changing. I arrived feeling drained, distracted, and disconnected—not just from those around me, but from myself. What I found over the course of several days was a space that allowed me to pause, breathe, and truly reconnect. Through the gentle guidance of Marye , I felt my mind sharpen, my focus return, and my sense of purpose reawaken. Marye’s voice during meditation takes to a beautiful place of calm. My only regret is not taking the retreat sooner.

A 3 day self initiated self care "intervention " at Maiaveda Holistic Health Retreat and Spa was one of the best decisions I have made in recent times! With utter professionalism and attention to care, Marye tailored my experience to encompass physical care and clarity of thought. The treatments provided by Maggie, Pam were so powerful yet performed with the ultimate caring touch, that you had no other choice but to go to a space where all thoughts and experiences were welcomed, noticed and calmly processed. Marye's vast international and corporate experiences are validated by providing the platform for you to come to obvious conclusions. A final yoga experience with Patricia is also not to be missed! The local food was excellent and adaptive to those of us with a few culinary challenges I leave in a much better space, with tools for work on's but miss my new friends in Kyneton already! You need to experience this, your body, mind and soul will be eternally grateful.

Absoluely blissful. Samantha was friendly, professional and must have hands of magic.

Marye was amazing! Will recommend to my friends and I will be coming back! Thank you so much!

Most AMAZING massage ever!! What a special experience. Thankyou so much. Can’t wait for the next.

Such a beautiful atmosphere! Would 100% recommend Maiavedas signature massage!

Can’t thank the wonderful ladies at Maiaveda enough for their warm and welcoming hospitality. I received a pregnancy massage and left feeling so relaxed and nurtured. Could not recommend enough!!

I was lucky enough to get a full body massage from the lovely Marye. She is very professional & thorough. Felt totally relaxed. I can highly recommend. 🙏

I just returned from a transformative 3-day retreat at Maiaveda Wellness Spa, and I can’t recommend it enough! This experience was exactly what I needed to recharge and recover from burnout. The luxurious treatments were nothing short of amazing; each one left me feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated. The staff truly made this retreat special. Mayre, Sam and Inta were exceptionally lovely, ensuring that I felt comfortable and pampered throughout my stay. I was enveloped in a safe and nurturing environment where I felt genuinely cared for. The team's expertise and kindness allowed me to fully surrender to the experience, leaving behind all my worries. Mayre, the owner, went above and beyond to take care of my every need, continually checking in and making me feel valued. I am so grateful to Mayre for making my stay so wonderful. After the retreat, I emerged with a sense of bliss and rejuvenation that I haven’t felt in ages. If you’re looking for a sanctuary to unwind and heal, Maiaveda Wellness Spa is definitely the place to be!

I opted for the retreat with Marye over the many options available in Aus and O/S. I’m so grateful I did, it was exactly what I needed. Marye and team are exceptionally kind with a calm, caring nature that kept me pampered and cocooned inside and out. I left feeling lighter and brighter in body and spirit. The property at St Agnes for the retreat accomodation is also so charming and even more so with Kyneton in Autumn, lovely hosts too. Reading in the sunroom at St Agnes between treatments with Marye and team will be a treasured memory of mine for many years to come. I left with practical tips and support on how to take some of these wonderful practices back into everyday life. Thank you Marye and team, I look forward to visiting again and couldn’t recommend you more highly.

Just heavenly, I considered not writing a review to keep this gem of a place for myself. BUT that would not be fair. I had a wonderful, relaxing massage from Marye, I will 100% be back and cannot wait! If you are staying in Kyneton do yourself a favour and book!

Booked a 4 hour intensive personalised healing journey. Marye's expertise is outstanding. She was able to conceptualise my experiences and goals and give direct advice and guidance to deal with issues. The body and healing treatments had a profound impact, which continues to reveal its benefits 2 weeks later. Highly recommend Maiaveda!

A beautiful experience for me and my husband on a weekend away. The massage, facial and steam therapy were sensational. The space is beautifully decorated and the atmosphere is relaxing and rejuvenating. Marye kindly worked around our availability and planned a great afternoon of pampering.

I had the most wonderful relaxing massage with Marye. She is a beautiful soul and made us feel so welcome. I will definitely be back. The whole experience was exceptional and I would highly recommend Maiaveda.

Maiveda is such a nurturing space, not only to experience first class services with the wonderful Marye, but an opportunity to rebalance and calm your body, mind and spirit.

Maiaveda is the most wonderful place to land, stop, take a breath, and be. As part of a panchakarma process I was in the capable, caring hands of Marye, who saw me through several ayurvedic treatments. Her knowledge, skills and care are first rate, and the treatments themselves are divine. Highly recommend.

A wonderful experience with Joanne... I had really low energy, physically and mentally exhausted prior to my Somatic Bodywork session. I felt a sense of peace and much lighter following the session, thank you so much Joanne!

I have had two incredible massages at Maiaveda and I highly recommend going there. It is such a beautiful environment, from the moment you walk in you can feel the kind, healing energy that is held in that space. Perfect for your body and your soul.

I’ve been fortunate enough to experience the Serenity Ritual with Marye twice now. She is incredibly skilled, caring and nurturing. The space is safe, calm and comforting so that I can fully relax and let Marye look after me. I left feeling relaxed but also energised, she also managed to clear up some congestion I’d been carrying for over a month! Cannot recommend highly enough.

Having experienced a Maiaveda retreat twice now, all I can say is, please book now! You will not be disappointed by the care, safety, professionalism, and wisdom of all at Maiaveda, including your time at St Agnes. You are worth this experience! The lasting impact of each retreat is worth all of your investment. A sense of deep peace and a true reset. I cannot rate Maiaveda highly enough, and all of the glowing reviews are accurate, trust me.

I spent a very relaxing and enjoyable couple of hours here. I especially enjoyed the neck massage and the facial really made my skin glow. Thanks for a great experience!

It’s hard to put into words how amazing Marye and the team are at Maiaveda, it is truly a sanctuary where you will find ultimate relaxation, my mother and I have been coming here for nearly 10 years and we look forward to it each and every time, if you are in the region or willing to travel for something really special we highly recommend you book at Maiaveda.

My husband and I were lucky enough to win a getaway retreat filled with pampering! We stayed at the Saint Agnes Homestead retreat followed by 6 hours of incredible pampering and then an incredible lunch all catered for. We couldn't feel more grateful and relaxed!! Amazing service and we shall be back again!! Thankyou so much xx

I've been to many retreats and detox and I can confidently and wholeheartedly say that Maiaveda is a caring place to heal and rejuvenate in a deep sense. After taking a detox retreat with Maiaveda, my body and mind are both in a healthier and joyful state and I'm so grateful for the blissful therapies Marye and the team providing 🙏🙏

For my birthday I received a gift voucher from my son and daughter in law to a retreat in Kyneton. When I opened the envelope and gazed at the symbols and colors on the letterhead I felt a sense of innate knowing in my heart and a deep love and gratitude moved me to tears even though I had not heard of Maiaveda before. I was told it was my son that found the place and chose it for his mother. From my arrival at the train station until my departure I felt nurtured and looked after and it allowed me to feel safe and to let go. The doors into Maiaveda are like a mothers loving arms and inside the rooms I found the gentle, loving hands of Joanne and Gracie moving all the tension and stagnation in my body and the wisdom of Marye's presence and words that gently reset my mind into more stillness. Marye held space for me so I could safely find my way home to my heart. Thank you Marye, I promised myself I will 'polish' my heart daily 😄 and shine my light brightly!

I was so fortunate to spend 3 days at Maiaveda. I was feeling deflated and lost after dealing with personal issues and my mental health was struggling. I went in with an open mind and walked away with a new belief and a life full of endless possibilities. Marye was so kind, gentle and held me in a safe place full of grace. Everything just poured out of me, tears, emotions, sadness and love. When I cried Marye held me and in that moment I knew I was meant to share my experiences with this beautiful soul. I have never felt such comfort and joy in all my life. I will be forever grateful for our paths crossing. I truly believe the universe lead me to Marye. I stayed at the gorgeous homestead where Marye had filled up the fridge with beautiful tasty organic food. I was feeling very spoilt and the owners were very friendly, she even knocked on my door one evening offering me a piece of apple cake she had made that day. Tara gave me an amazing 3 hour treatment of massage and reiki on my first day. Tara is so lovely. I learnt so much about myself in the 3 days and left feeling so much lighter. The treatments and chats with Marye were just what I needed. Marye and Tara made me feel like I was the only person on the planet showing how dedicated they were to just me. Marye would text me at night to see if I needed anything on her way home. I have also received contact and support apon returning home. I beg anyone reading this who is struggling in life challenges to treat yourself and go and see Marye and her gorgeous team at Maiaveda. It will be the best experience and decision you'll ever make. I was emotional saying goodbye to Marye because I felt such a strong connection and knew that she really cared for me. Marye you truly are some kind of wonderful. ♥️

I stumbled into their space, quite by accident, and I just can’t get over how incredibly kind they were. I wasn’t their customer, they were just authentically generous and considerate. Thank you 🌸💗

I have recently spent a full week in Kyneton in the capable hands of Marye O'Brien and her incredibly skilled therapists at Maiaveda. It was an experience I shall never forget and I will certainly return for more pampering in the not-too-distant future. Mary is a kind compassionate soul and all of the ladies who work with her are highly trained and nurturing. I returned home feeling rested, rejuvenated and inspired like a new woman...well, at 70 years old....almost new! 😂

Had the most amazing experience with Tara. From the onset the signature massage was so relaxing. Starting with a foot bath while Tara explaining the process. Being lead to the massage room that was dimly lit, with a calming scent, and beautiful sounds. The signature massage was just right with the warm oils, the wrapping of body to felt so nurturing, the placing of the heat packs on the body made me feel so secure and relaxed and ending of the sound bowl on each side of my head was grounding. The experience was divine I will make 1.5hr journey again to do it again. Highly recommend. My daughter also had the signature massage with Mary and she came out with the biggest smile on her face.

No matter how cold the day is in Kyneton you always feel warm and cared for when you are cacooned in the hands of Marye at Maiaveda

Marye is a beautiful intuitive woman who genuinely cares about healing and balancing mind, body and spirit. I spent 2 days at Maiaveda retreat receiving individualised treatments including yoga, massage, reflexology, facials - that together transcended any previous body work experience. It was bliss. It was also opening to insights that shifted my understanding of relationships. Highly recommended. 💕

Recently, I was treated to a heavenly massage experience courtesy of a gift voucher with Tara. Let me tell you, it was nothing short of divine! From the moment I stepped into the Maiaveda sanctuary, I felt like I was walking on air. Tara's warmth and expertise transported me to a state of pure bliss. Every detail of the Maiaveda signature treatment was meticulously thought out, from the heavenly foot soak in the tranquil room to the expert touch of Tara's hands, which seemed to possess their own wisdom. I found myself melting into the table, completely lost in the moment. But it wasn't just the treatment itself that left me in awe. The exquisite room, the warm oils, the soft towels – every little touch added to the experience, making it truly unforgettable.

Great experience. Mary and the team were wonderful🙏

Marye has been a divine space holder who has personally held me through so much of my journey as a mother of young children. The treatments I received at Maiaveda provided that sacred window into self care for me to dive into, between the ongoing responsibility of mothering young humans. It created a window for me to better understand what encapsulates my unique constitution through the framework of yoga and Ayurveda. Through my years of seeing Marye at Maiavedia I have received so much wisdom and come home to a truer version of myself. Thank you Marye, you held me and held to lamp through the darkness for me. Before working with Marye I didn't know that a massage could be sacred and transformative healing therapies. I cannot recommend Maiaveda's suite of Ayurvedic treatments and professional, caring staff enough. You have to experience it for yourself!

I just had the most amazing pregnancy massage by Gracie. From the moment I walked up the stairs I was greeted and felt completely taken care of. The energy in the room was so calming and I immediately connected with Gracie who took the utmost care of me. The whole experience from start to finish was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed my massage and was still cared for afterwards with a lovely chai tea and chat with Gracie about the beautiful old building we were in. Highly recommend to anyone, Would even be a great gift to give someone for some time out and pampering. Five stars!!!

I have told all my friends about Maiaveda, I couldn't recommend it more highly if I tried. It exceeded my expectations in every aspect and Marye is just divine; she goes above and beyond. From the amazing treatments, the knowledge, and the care, nurture, connection and safe space, I felt honoured, seen, understood and held. I did a weekend retreat and can't wait to go again. My cup was overflowing so much, I returned home to my young kids with abundant capacity to handle the every day stresses. I actually felt truly rejuvenated. Even my doctor commented that I was glowing! So much gratitude for this little hidden gem and Marye and her team!

A wholistic and complete healing experience in a safe, loving and welcoming space that encourages you to find your best self.

On arriving at the steps leading to Maiaveda wellness spa it is instantly apparent that this is something very special. The magnificent building is just the beginning, the warm greeting and attention to detail is second to none. It is evident that years of experience have cultivated the philosophies and practices used by Mary O’Brien and her staff .Prior to my visit I was totally unaware of Ayurveda, a natural medicine apparently developed over 3000 years ago. My massage was divine, 90 minutes of sheer bliss in the hands of the staff member Gracie. Afterwards I felt completely relaxed and almost euphoric, everything down to the smallest detail had been carefully considered. I loved it!! I can’t recommend this highly enough…

I experienced a retreat with Maiaveda and was not at all disappointed. In fact, it was the complete opposite. This experience has been incredible for me both mentally and physically. Marye and her team were supportive, kind and caring throughout the whole experience and demonstrated a strong sense of community in their work both within their team and within Kyneton as a whole. Marye opened up and shared a lot of experiences that helped guide me through my more difficult emotions. I had therapies with Tara, Joanne and Marye and all were incredible. I have never felt so spiritually awakened and content in my body. The food was incredible and very nutritious and the location was beautiful. I urge you if you’re feeling a little lost or you need some guidance or you just want to do something entirely for yourself (which you are worthy of) to consider and book in with Maiaveda. I have learnt things I can use throughout my day to day life to support my anxiety, make me more centred, and that aid with a more Ayurvedic lifestyle. Thank you so much for this experience.

❤️

I had an amazing experience in Maiaveda. Hands down the best, most caring and nurturing massage I have received. Beautiful, inspiring funky environment. It is rare these days that people create the space and provide services to people with such a genuine care. There should be at least one in every city. ❤️

Marye looked after me today and I had the most amazing spa ritual experience. If you are looking for somewhere to feel nurtured, energised and healed then this is the place! Marye used the most amazing products for my facial and massage, she’s a very experienced healer and any pain you have will quickly melt away. The best massage/facial I’ve had and I’d highly recommend seeing Marye for a truly special and sensory experience. You will be welcomed by a lovely ambiance and Marye’s friendly and nurturing demeanour will make you feel completely at ease. Do yourself a favour and book in or treat a loved one!

As a multiple business owner, Mum, wife and acreage owner, let’s just say I’m busy, body and mind always in over drive. I gifted myself a 3 day/night retreat to connect with myself and take time to be alone with my thoughts and truly rest. I was supported, held and nourished in all aspects. The daily 3-4 hours of treatments allowing my mind total freedom while my body was in complete bliss. Then coming home to the beautiful stables to wander the gardens, read a book, shower forever or just curl up in bed was just magical. Opening the fridge to see Marye had chosen me delicious healthy meals and snacks for my time actually bought me to tears. With very little family support, I didn’t realised how much I needed to feel nurtured. There was the perfect balance of connection and alone time to reflect and process. Turning off from my everyday for 4 days has given me a new lease and enthusiasm for my life, I’m smiling a little more and the days seem just a fraction brighter, not to mention I look and feel years younger. Thankyou so much to the incredible team of nurturers at Maieveda, I’ll be back for sure!

Just returned from 2 nights , 3 days at Maiaveda retreat Kyneton , I was welcomed like a friend or family member - gently nurtured through new experiences / treatments . Marye & staff are very experienced & kind . An excellent place to rejuvenate in a completely personal way. Thank you & best.wishes

What a wonderful experience! My partner and I saw Mary and Tara, they were both so lovely and calming. I was also pregnant at the time and Tara ensured that I was comfortable throughout, I left feeling like I was on a cloud. We can't wait to book back in again. Thank you ladies!

I have been wanting to try Maiaveda for over 2 years now but had so much going on. Recently, I gave birth to our premature baby boy and needed some care for myself. My husband reminded me to see if there were any last-minute bookings and I was so lucky to have a spot free last Saturday with Marye. The greeting and welcoming I received from Marye was so caring and nurturing that I was taken aback. My feet were bathed, comfy slippers provided, and a special mantra to help me heal. I felt safe and so special. My signature massage transcended me into another realm. Marye knew exactly what I needed, not just physically but spiritually. I have never had a massage like this before, and I finally found my place, it felt like home. I am already planning to book on a regular basis. I left feeling full and light, re-energised. Im very grateful to Marye and Maiaveda, what a magical place. Thank you for realigning me.

I happen on this place about a month back and had the best massage of my life (thanks Tara!). I headed back there for a couple nights stay just to have more treatments. I’ve now had an incredible facial, another massage and a hand and foot treatment. This little treasure is unique and fantastic and will probably make me a Kyneton regular!

Pure bliss. Don't wait. Just go - treat yourself

So much more than just a spa experience. Maiaveda takes you to another plane.

Thank you Marye and team for creating a beautiful, caring and nurturing space, for holding me and creating safety. I always come away feeling so relaxed and refreshed. I am so grateful to be able to access this service whenever I need to.

Absolutely a wonderful experience. Thanks Mary for your kind words before and after the amazing massage. I came to Kyneton for a relaxing time to step away from my busy everyday life, my first stop was here at Maiaveda Holistic Heath Retreat & Spa the experience here sure set the mood for the rest of my stay. I will definitely visit again. Rita.

I have been here years ago and again just recently. Genevieve was my massage therapist and held a safe and beautiful space for my 90 minutes Maiaveda signature massage. Absolute bliss and restoration. Highly recommend here.

From my first email enquiry I felt like a special customer. And my first appointment was everything I had hoped for and more. I was nurtured and held and left feeling invincible! Will I be a frequent flyer? Helll yeah! I highly recommend this unique and welcoming place.

I booked a retreat with Maiaveda with some things I wanted to sort out within myself, I’d never experienced Ayurveda before and didn’t really know what to expect. The staff at Maiaveda took me in like a son and opened me up to areas of myself that i hadn’t known how to navigate beforehand. I’m about to check out of the cottage tomorrow and am already thinking when I’d like to return for a longer stay. Thanks Maiaveda for attending to my needs and opening a place for me to fill myself up with energy for life!

I have thought long and hard about this review, but all I can say it has changed my life. I booked in a much needed stay just after easter this year. I booked a two night stay and was a little worried about spending money on me or doing something for myself, but it has been the best money I have ever spent. Marye and team were incredible as soon as Marye hugged me I knew I was in good hands. Every treatment was incredible, and things got very emotional on the second day. I didn’t realise how much I needed to be “broken” and how much of an issue I had being alone and sitting in silence. You know when you know, and you need help that is a little different. My body and my mind are so different now, I don’t feel like my mind is constantly on, I feel so calm and relaxed, and I am ready for everything that life has to throw at me. I can’t thank everyone I came across on my 3 days and I will be seeing you very soon. Much love Kelly

A place like no other. Probably the best massages in the world.

It’s taken me almost a week to think of the words to describe my experience at Maiaveda. I was in a place I had never been before after a very challenging 18 month project. I was burnt out, riddled with stress and anxiety and wondering what next but with no confidence or energy to do much about it. Feeling this way, was a really tough pill to swallow as I am a resilient, strong woman and weathered a lot in my life. So I knew I needed to take action and I was sure it had to be focusing inward and spending time just on me. I had originally been seeking a group retreat that targeted mind, body and soul in their offerings but timing was never right or it was just a fancy resort with good food and spa treatments – I was looking for more. I came across Maiaveda and saw they offered personal 1:1 retreats, which was not quite what I wanted but everything else was perfect. I kept coming back to their page as I was really drawn to Mayre’s offerings. From the moment I called (and yes, there was a tear or three), Mayre was so accommodating finding me 3 nights within a week in a time where they were heavily booked and I was beyond grateful. I felt such a loving and genuine connection with Mayre immediately and I knew I had called the right place. When you enter Maiaveda, you literally feel like you are in a cocoon of love, warmth, care and acceptance. Every practitioner I worked with had a loving, warm energy about them and all genuinely there to care and look after you. Mayre put together a wonderful package for me – a mix of foot baths, facials, daily massage, shirodhara, reiki, sound healing, energy healing, yoga and meditation and I would not have changed a single element of it. The food was incredible and I also learnt more about Ayurveda and how I can better balance myself through food, movement and breath. I came away feeling like so much had shifted in me and that I was truly centered again, back in alignment, deeply relaxed and more focused than I have been in months. I have my mojo back and already embedding some of the learnings I took away with me so I can continue to keep myself in balance and to minimize fatigue and stress into the future. Thank you again Maiaveda for a truly wonderful experience. I will certainly return for a top up visit as I need it xx

I had a facial but it was sooooo much more than that. Sylvia was fantastic. She knew exactly what she was doing and made the experience wonderful. Will definitely go back again.

I have been to Maiaveda twice now, and both experiences have been absolutely wonderful. Both times I have had the signature massage and it is probably the best massage I have ever had. You will leave feeling utterly relaxed and rejuvenated, it is utter bliss. I told my husband that for any future gifts for me all he needs to do get a voucher for more massages! Highly recommend!

Just had a beautiful massage with Ulrike. Putting at there as the best massage I have ever had :). Can’t wait to come back! Thanks again team. Lovey space xPositiveCommunication, Quality, Professionalism

An amazing experience. Probably the best massage ever.

The care and love I received from the very moment I was welcomed into Maiaveda was exactly what I needed. Marye offered guidance and wisdom to help me uncover blocks in my physical, mental and spiritual health. From there she worked on a tailored treatment plan that included the most blissful massages and ayurvedic treatments! Marye, your help guided me to find my happy centre again, and I have returned home more content than I have felt in a loooong time. Thankyou so much!

A beautiful space to have a massage while away on a girls weekend. We will be back!

Everyone should experience this with Marye. It's actually beyond what words can describe. The space was cosy and Marye emanates nurture. For me, she was able to facilitate me accessing being actually and fully present, and that moment is indescribable. Cannot recommend Maiaveda enough, and cannot thank Marye enough for her time and energy. Big love x

Perfect sanctuary..caring people. Excellent remedial massage.

The most exceptional experience. I had a 3 hour package and I have to say it was a treatment like no other. It started off with a foot soak, breathing and some chants followed off by the most amazing massage, reflexology and some reiki. I floated out on cloud 9. I could not recommend enough to spoil yourself. I also got some great tips on health and wellbeing. I will definitely be back very soon and have been telling all of my friends.

The most beautiful and relaxing experience I've had. Loving and in touch women who sense you personal needs and then adapt their skills and knowledge to your well being. Get the Maiaveda Signature Massage, just amazing (thank you Kathleen). Highly recommend Maiaveda Holistic Day Spa if in the area or even worth the day trip from Melbourne. Will be back for sure.
