Food as Medicine

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.

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.

A 3 day self initiated self care "intervention " at Maiaveda Holistic Health Retreat and Spa was one of the best decisions I have made in recent times! With utter professionalism and attention to care, Marye tailored my experience to encompass physical care and clarity of thought. The treatments provided by Maggie, Pam were so powerful yet performed with the ultimate caring touch, that you had no other choice but to go to a space where all thoughts and experiences were welcomed, noticed and calmly processed. Marye's vast international and corporate experiences are validated by providing the platform for you to come to obvious conclusions. A final yoga experience with Patricia is also not to be missed! The local food was excellent and adaptive to those of us with a few culinary challenges I leave in a much better space, with tools for work on's but miss my new friends in Kyneton already! You need to experience this, your body, mind and soul will be eternally grateful.

I was so fortunate to spend 3 days at Maiaveda. I was feeling deflated and lost after dealing with personal issues and my mental health was struggling. I went in with an open mind and walked away with a new belief and a life full of endless possibilities. Marye was so kind, gentle and held me in a safe place full of grace. Everything just poured out of me, tears, emotions, sadness and love. When I cried Marye held me and in that moment I knew I was meant to share my experiences with this beautiful soul. I have never felt such comfort and joy in all my life. I will be forever grateful for our paths crossing. I truly believe the universe lead me to Marye. I stayed at the gorgeous homestead where Marye had filled up the fridge with beautiful tasty organic food. I was feeling very spoilt and the owners were very friendly, she even knocked on my door one evening offering me a piece of apple cake she had made that day. Tara gave me an amazing 3 hour treatment of massage and reiki on my first day. Tara is so lovely. I learnt so much about myself in the 3 days and left feeling so much lighter. The treatments and chats with Marye were just what I needed. Marye and Tara made me feel like I was the only person on the planet showing how dedicated they were to just me. Marye would text me at night to see if I needed anything on her way home. I have also received contact and support apon returning home. I beg anyone reading this who is struggling in life challenges to treat yourself and go and see Marye and her gorgeous team at Maiaveda. It will be the best experience and decision you'll ever make. I was emotional saying goodbye to Marye because I felt such a strong connection and knew that she really cared for me. Marye you truly are some kind of wonderful. ♥️

On arriving at the steps leading to Maiaveda wellness spa it is instantly apparent that this is something very special. The magnificent building is just the beginning, the warm greeting and attention to detail is second to none. It is evident that years of experience have cultivated the philosophies and practices used by Mary O’Brien and her staff .Prior to my visit I was totally unaware of Ayurveda, a natural medicine apparently developed over 3000 years ago. My massage was divine, 90 minutes of sheer bliss in the hands of the staff member Gracie. Afterwards I felt completely relaxed and almost euphoric, everything down to the smallest detail had been carefully considered. I loved it!! I can’t recommend this highly enough…

I experienced a retreat with Maiaveda and was not at all disappointed. In fact, it was the complete opposite. This experience has been incredible for me both mentally and physically. Marye and her team were supportive, kind and caring throughout the whole experience and demonstrated a strong sense of community in their work both within their team and within Kyneton as a whole. Marye opened up and shared a lot of experiences that helped guide me through my more difficult emotions. I had therapies with Tara, Joanne and Marye and all were incredible. I have never felt so spiritually awakened and content in my body. The food was incredible and very nutritious and the location was beautiful. I urge you if you’re feeling a little lost or you need some guidance or you just want to do something entirely for yourself (which you are worthy of) to consider and book in with Maiaveda. I have learnt things I can use throughout my day to day life to support my anxiety, make me more centred, and that aid with a more Ayurvedic lifestyle. Thank you so much for this experience.

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

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.

My 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!

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.

My 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!

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

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.
