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.

For when a single treatment isn't the whole of it. Ayurvedic consultation, mentoring, online sessions, somatic work and two half day immersions, most of it one to one with our founder, Marye O'Brien.

Longer than an appointment
A treatment is an hour and it does what an hour can do. A pathway is the other thing: weeks, sometimes months, working on how you eat, sleep, move and rest, with someone who knows what you told her last time.
Ayurveda is the frame for most of it. The useful part of it is not exotic: it starts from the idea that you are not the same as the person on the next table, and that what steadies one person will wind another one up.

How one starts
It opens with an assessment rather than a program. From there it is usually some combination of food, daily routine, herbs, practice and treatment, and which of those you get is decided after we have met you, not before.
Nearly all of this is one to one with Marye, in the room at Kyneton or on a call. She is an Ayurvedic practitioner and a Vedic counsellor, and she has been doing this here since 2011.
The six below are the shapes it usually takes. If none of them is quite it, write to us and we will work out what is.
The shapes this takes
- Ayurvedic consultations and detox programsA twelve day home based panchakarma program with Dr Gurnam Saini, and consultations to plan it around you.
- Mentoring and coaching with MaryeA twelve week, one to one mentoring program, and Ayurvedic coaching for people ready to make changes.
- Online sessionsSessions with Marye from wherever you are. Your first thirty minutes is free.
- Somatic embodiment coaching and bodyworkPrivate, trauma informed sessions with Marye that combine bodywork, meditation and conversation.
- Rejuvenation and RecoveryA personalised half day of Ayurvedic treatments, nutrition advice and yoga, for a big change: retirement, burnout, or getting older well.
- Sleep Reset ImmersionA private four hour immersion built entirely around sleep, from a sleep and dosha consultation to yoga nidra.

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 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.
