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.

What happens
Restorative Touch is a deeply soothing, relaxing massage of slow movements, tailored to your needs, with aromatherapy throughout.
The movements are slow and tailored, to promote a meditative state. It begins with an aromatherapy foot bath and finishes with our special blend of herbal chai.
Relaxation massage is the long, slow, even kind: gliding strokes with oil, moderate pressure, and no working into one particular knot. Aromatherapy is the use of plant essential oils, blended for the person; Victoria's Better Health Channel describes them diluted into a massage oil, added to a bath or put through a vaporiser, and here they are in the oil and the foot bath.
It's designed for a nervous system that's been switched on since Monday, and for anyone who wants to be looked after without being worked on. The foot bath at the start is there so the massage doesn't begin cold.

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
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 GoogleMarye 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.
Read on GoogleMarye 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. 🌸🙏
Read on GoogleSwitching 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.
Read on GoogleHaving 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.
Read on GoogleIt’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.
Read on GoogleI'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 🙏🙏
Read on GoogleFor 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!
Read on GoogleIt’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
Read on GoogleYesterday 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.
