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.

Bodywork
What happens
Children carry their own stress, from school, grief, puberty, what's happening at home, even the playground. This is a gentle, nurturing massage made for them, and every session is tailored to the child in front of us.
It can be done fully clothed. Sessions run twenty to thirty minutes, including a warm foot bath, on weekdays only.
For children aged four to twelve the price is on a sliding scale by age, from about $40 to $60. Students aged thirteen to seventeen get 25% off regular prices. Bookings are with Marye, Inta and Maggie, all Working with Children checked.
A child's massage is shorter, lighter and slower than an adult's, and it's done through clothes if the child prefers. The warm foot bath at the start is the same one the adult rituals begin with, and the massage itself is whatever the child is comfortable with, at the child's pace.
It's made for a child who is wound tight, and for a child who has had a hard year.

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.
Read on GoogleI 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
Read on GoogleWe 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.
Read on GoogleMy 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!
Read on GoogleFrom 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
Read on GoogleAn 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:)
Read on GoogleI’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.
Read on GoogleThank 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 ❤️
Read on GoogleQuite 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.
Read on GoogleYesterday 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.
Read on GoogleMarye 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”.
