Back Exfoliation Ritual

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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

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!

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!

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
