“Having journeyed through various beauty treatments, the encounter with Mardi’s Ascend sound healing was an entirely new experience. The journey begins with a soothing conversation, enveloped by an ambience of serenity and warmth. What unfolds is beyond anticipation—Mardi guides you through a seamless fusion of sound therapy, singing, and celestial music. It’s an amazing treatment. Mardi customises it for each client and it’s very different to anything that’s out there.”
– Kirstie Clements, former Editor-In-Chief of Vogue, accomplished author, journalist, and speaker
“It’s always such a treat to visit Chakana and enjoy one of their incredible treatments. I really feel that Mardi and her beautiful team have healing hands and the kindest, wisest souls. It’s far more than just a pampering experience…it’s rejuvenating and uplifting in a way that is difficult to describe. Thank you girls for a magical facial.”
– Lyndal
“The most deeply relaxing spa treatment I’ve had…anywhere in the world thanks to my therapist on the day – Leah. Energetically in tune, physically the most amazing and unique facial/body hybrid massage ever. This lady is the spa worlds best kept secret.”
– Nicola
“From the very first time I entered this space I knew I had ventured to something sacred. There is of course it’s simple beauty, however the slow energy transcends normal everyday life. I have visited spas in 6 countries, this experience is sublime. Don’t expect anything other than the extraordinary. On every level, you shall be touched.”
– Belinda Jane Hunt
“As always it’s like having a mini holiday. From the moment I walk in the calming atmosphere to the end I am transported. It’s never just a facial or a massage but a completely holistic experience. Thank you xx”
– Lisa
“What Mardi and her team create then curate for each client is an extraordinary experience. Whether you are checking into Chakana’s sanctuary for a mini facial or a multi-hour treatment there is a consistent depth to the relaxation and nurturing that ensures restoration and rejuvenation. The recent addition of Mardi’s musical gifts to certain treatments has set a new benchmark for spa experiences. The music takes a nurtured body and mind, breaks your heart open, then supports and uplifts your spirit. I found tears just poured down my cheeks. An unexpected, soulful and memorable experience that is hard to put into words. It’s a once in a lifetime. Unless you’re lucky enough to live in Avalon.”
– Jessica Robertson
“First time at this highly recommended spa in their new location. It felt like walking into a sanctuary. Tucked away in a little corner, quiet and peaceful. I had the perfectly named Body Bliss treatment from Kylie, and I felt like I was her only client of the day. She took her time working the massage to match my body’s needs. The choice of essential oils was lovely, all the oils used were luxurious and smelled heavenly. It was truly a blissful moment provided by a very gifted therapist. Thank you Kylie! I hope to see you next time I’m in Av!”
– Rachel Rouquet
“I treated my husband to a 1.5 hour massage for his 30th birthday. I also had The Chakana facial. The Chakana team were so lovely and flexible enabling us both to have our treatment in the couples room. My husband, who struggles to find a massage he loves, hasn’t stopped raving about this place since. The space is so relaxing, tastefully decorated and warm. The treatments are designed with your best interest at heart and carried out with amazing professionalism. If ever I am in Avalon again I will be back. 1 week on and my face still feels amazing and received lots of comments on how I am glowing! Thank you ladies!”
– Farah Byrne
“Wow! Mardi managed to squeeze me in for some ‘maintenance’ at very short notice and I was so impressed! Not only is the space stunning, my therapist was so lovely, efficient and highly experienced. I cannot recommend them more highly and being in the industry myself that is not easy.”
– Joanna Newham
“Chakana for me is a place that allows me to feel completely nurtured through stillness, touch, sound and smell. A space to really let go, be open, stay open, be vulnerable and be looked after. Being a mum of two young kids, I often forget that I need to be taken care of as well and not just be the carer all the time. I get that gift from Chakana every time. Leaving there nurtured, soft and in my feminine is priceless.”
– Caroline Walsh
“When you step into Chakana you are immersed in an environment of calm, relaxation and rejuvenation. I have been a regular client since Mardi and her team opened their doors in 2018. Chakana is a place where I come to get some peace from the world, where for a few hours each month I am made to feel nurtured and cared for, I can’t thank Mardi and her team enough for providing a wonderful space for me to do that. If I had to sum up Chakana in one word – divine.”
– Broni Cooper
“What a blissful experience. Mardi is not only a gifted songstress, but also holds space and ceremony like no one else I have experienced. What a gift she is to our community. I will be back again, with friends.”
– Jessica Bialek, Sound Bath client
