Ayurvedic therapies

What happens

Nourish and Restore puts two treatments together. First the Maiaveda Signature abhyanga, a full body Ayurvedic massage with warm oil.

Then shirodhara, where warm oil infusions are streamed across your forehead.

Abhyanga is the Ayurvedic oil massage; the Charaka Samhita and the Ashtanga Hridayam place it in dinacharya, the daily routine. Shirodhara is oil applied to the head in a stream, one of the oldest Ayurvedic therapies. The order here is the Ayurvedic one: the body is oiled and warmed first, and the head is done last, when everything else has gone quiet.

It's made for someone who has had abhyanga and wants the next step, and for a day when one treatment isn't going to be 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

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.

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.

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. ✨

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
