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.

What happens
We believe coming of age is worth marking, and that nobody should have to do it alone or unaware. Moontime is how we mark it at Maiaveda.
Ninety minutes, head to toe, in a space that is held for her.
Womanhood is beautiful, powerful and worth celebrating. We gather to witness, celebrate, uplift and orient young ladies on the threshold of their womanhood.
The three parts are gentle on purpose. A foot soak and scrub is a warm scented soak and an exfoliation. Aromatherapy massage uses plant essential oils blended into the massage oil and chosen for the person, the way Victoria's Better Health Channel describes aromatherapy. The herbal facial is a short cleanse, mask and moisturiser, made for young skin.
It's a rite of passage rather than a treatment, and it's designed for a young woman to be welcomed, not worked on. She keeps the bracelet.

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.
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 GoogleIt 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.
Read on GoogleHow 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.
Read on GoogleFrom 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.
Read on GoogleAn absolutely gorgeous atmosphere with gentle lighting and subtle aromas in the air. Marye is so in tune, and a truly brilliant practitioner. I felt completely nurtured and relaxed beyond words.
Read on GoogleI 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.

Read on GoogleTo anyone who is interested in going to Maiaveda please don’t hesitate, hurry and book now. I have never been so looked after and so loved by Marye. I have never felt so amazing after my time at Maiaveda. If you’re feeling lost, lonely or sick of yourself please contact Marye now. You won’t regret it.
Read on GoogleI 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.

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.
