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.

Mind and body
What happens
A private session with Marye to learn meditation techniques you can take home and keep using, especially if everyday life is full of stress.
Meditation in the Vedic tradition is a practice, not a mood: ways of settling the breath and the attention that are learned and then repeated. A private session teaches those ways rather than leading you through one sitting.
You sit or lie comfortably and Marye, a meditation teacher, works through techniques with you and checks how each one lands, so you leave with a practice of your own to keep up at home.
Yoga and Ayurveda are sister sciences and meditation sits in both. Marye also teaches it inside the private yoga therapy class, where it follows the yoga nidra.

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 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 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 GoogleI almost have no words for how incredibly grateful I feel for booking this private retreat experience with Maiveda. From the moment I arrived, I felt seen, cared for and completely safe to be nurtured. In fact, I haven't even gone home yet but wanted to write this in the bubble of this incredible experience. Every treatment I had was exquisite, and was done with such love and intention. I am going home tomorrow feeling inspired, loved, and ready to take responsibility for how I am showing up each day - with credits in the energy tank. Thank you Marye, Pam, Patricia and Inta. You are all exceptional at what you do.
Read on GoogleAttending the wellness retreat was nothing short of life-changing. I arrived feeling drained, distracted, and disconnected—not just from those around me, but from myself. What I found over the course of several days was a space that allowed me to pause, breathe, and truly reconnect. Through the gentle guidance of Marye , I felt my mind sharpen, my focus return, and my sense of purpose reawaken. Marye’s voice during meditation takes to a beautiful place of calm. My only regret is not taking the retreat sooner.
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.
