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.
