Bodywork

What happens

A therapeutic massage for specific tightness: slow strokes and deep pressure, using techniques that work further into the muscle and connective tissue, including where tension has built up from injury or overuse.

There's also a ninety minute deep tissue massage blended with hot stones. Health fund rebates are available when you book with Inta or Tracy.

Remedial massage in Australia is a recognised qualification rather than a style, and the associations, such as the Australian Traditional Medicine Society, keep the lists of the courses and of which health funds pay rebates. Healthdirect describes it as massage that aims to find the problem and work on it, with strokes that run from long gliding effleurage to kneading, friction and deep pressure.

A session starts with questions about where it hurts and what you do all day, and the therapist works on the areas that need it rather than the whole body evenly. It's made for shoulders that have been carrying a desk all week, a back that lifts for a living, and muscles that have not let go since a long run or a fall.

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 and I went to Maiaveda for a Panchakarma, an Ayurvedic cleanse. We were welcomed with a lot of warmth and reassurance. Each visit was filled with genuine love, support and compassion. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Both my husband and I could not recommend it more highly.

The moment I walked in, the atmosphere was so calm and welcoming. The massage itself was exactly what I needed, easily one of the best I have ever had. Claudia was highly skilled, attentive, and made sure to check in at the right moments. I cannot wait to book my next appointment.

It was my husband's birthday and we booked massages for my family. They even had an option for our 7 year old daughter. Clean rooms, clean towels, great ambiance. Claudia made sure I was comfortable throughout my massage. My new favourite spa.

How lovely that my two hour experience was a purely selfish indulgence. I was kept warm the whole time and even drifted off to sleep. Cannot recommend Pam or the service I experienced highly enough.

From one tired and sore mum, the pregnancy massage was beyond incredible. Marye welcomed me with such warmth. Claudia's massage was amazing, I actually walked out feeling like I was floating. It was not just a massage, it was a whole mind and body reset.

I have been visiting Maiaveda for the past six years, and it continues to be my absolute sanctuary. During my current pregnancy I had massage with Claudia, and she was incredible. I always walk out feeling lighter, calmer, and genuinely cared for.

Thank you Marye and Pam. 90 minute massage, scrub and reflexology treatment. Gentle, warming and restorative. We are very fortunate to have this business in Kyneton. You will be in very good hands.

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. ✨

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.

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.
