Our Story
Melaney and Matthew established Padma Chalets in 2022, although this is something of a homecoming for Melaney, having lived in the area with her children for many years in the early 2000s.
Together they have created Padma Chalets as a place of rejuvenation and retreat.
Melaney is the founder and Director of the Melaney Ryan Institute of Applied Consciousness (MRIAC) which specialises in the teaching of Mahat Meditation and Integrated Therapeutic Alignment (ITA) energy medicine.
Matthew is an apiarist, having always loved bees, birds and nature. He is the man behind Empire Honey and will be sharing his knowledge about bee keeping through a series of courses in the near future.
Padma Chalets is part of the Padma Retreat Centre which holds MRIAC retreats and aligned programs and events.
Melaney & Matthew
Our mission is to create a place of rest where you can feel at home. We hope many wonderful memories are created here for families and couples.
This is a place where you can inhale deeply and be reminded of the sacredness of nature and be in the present moment.
Whether you stay in our beautiful chalets, attend one of our retreats, enjoy a wellness program or take part in one of our community projects, we hope that Padma provides many special moments that bring you a new zest for life or a rediscovery of its beauty.
We look forward to welcoming you to Padma Chalets.
