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
Ayurveda sees health as a balance that needs daily attention rather than a fixed state.
This session looks at how diet, exercise, sleep, stress, the seasons and your routines support that balance or unsettle it. You'll learn to recognise the early signs of imbalance, and practical Ayurvedic tools for coming back to it, whether you're mostly vata, pitta, kapha or a mix.
The Charaka Samhita gives a whole chapter to ritucharya, the seasonal regimen: each season pushes one of the doshas, and food and habits shift to meet it, which is why the same person is told different things in summer and in winter. The early signs of imbalance are read the same way, as one dosha running ahead of the others.
It's made for someone who has found their dosha and now wants to know what to do with it on a Tuesday in July.

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.
Read on GoogleMy 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.
Read on GoogleThe 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.

Read on GoogleI 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!
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.
