I joined this weekend workshop with Glynnis and just WOW! What an incredible journey! Glynnis was able to set the group dynamics in such a way that everyone was heard, acknowledged and open! There was time to ask questions, time to recap, time to assimilate all the learning! The last day of partnering and walking through the entire module seemed overwhelming, but there was an incredible flow, almost intuitive, that harmonised all the learning into this beautiful dance massage. I loved every moment! 

p.s. The delicious lunch ( that Glynnis included in the workshop price!), and the  serene venue, paired perfectly with the energy of this incredible facilitator! Highly recommended!!

"An incredible weekend experience!"
I recently attended the weekend Indian Head Massage course in Vancouver, and it was absolutely fantastic. The hands-on learning was thoughtfully structured and broken down into digestible segments, making it easy to integrate and understand the full flow of the technique. From the beautiful, calming space to the nourishing food and intentional course design, Glynnis has truly thought of every detail to create a supportive and enriching environment. I left feeling inspired, confident, and excited to incorporate Indian Head Massage into my own wellness offerings—especially alongside my sound healing practice. I would highly recommend this course to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Indian Head Massage, whether for personal use or to share its benefits with others.

"Just as words are limiting when trying to capture the true essence and beauty of a sunrise or the feeling of utter joy, I cannot find the proper words to describe what a transformative and wonderful experience Glynnis has gifted us in sharing the spirit and art of Indian Head Massage.  I feel so grateful to have attended her weekend training/retreat and I am changed for the better, not just through learning the techniques, but also through the unspoken beautiful energetic exhange between giving and receiving.  Thank you, Glynnis.  You are amazing."

"The Thousand Petal Lotus Ayurvedic Indian Head Massage Training and Urban Retreat was absolutely divine! Glynnis has created such a beautiful training that allows for learning and growth to flow and blossom organically on a two day journey. I had so many ideas, inspiration, and take away moments from this experience. I’m taking what I’ve learned and I’m now booking clients to experience an Ayurvedic Indian Head Massage flow of my own. Three words that come to mind when I think of this experience are love, magic and bliss! Thank you so much Glynnis for everything, I feel your genuine love, grace and support with me! "


Julia S.

" I’ve really enjoyed the online study after the in-person weekend and have been practicing the massage quite frequently I’ve done 25 to date and can now do the whole  massage sequence without any aids.

I’m looking forward to making a living within this practice and I’m also planning  to make a trip to Kerala in April to learn more! The pull is very strong to stay within this practice. Thank you for this beautiful amazing experience."


Alaina V.

I attended Glynnis’ Thousand Petal Lotus Ayurvedic Head Massage training with the intention to add as a new offering to the existing menu at my home hair studio. 

Typically, when I attend business trainings I finish feeling heavy and exhausted. This experience was certainly the exception! I arrived home inspired, grounded and centred- with newfound clarity in regards to the direction I wish to take my business. 

I got right to it, first practicing on family and a neighbour.
Within a week, I have had six new bookings!

I am so excited to share the wisdom of Ayurveda and it’s restorative and nurturing practices with those in my community. I am equally grateful to receive the fruits of this service through the beautiful meditative experience I receive offering it. 

Highly recommend this training, for both personal or professional purposes”

Nazanin K.

"To call this weekend a retreat, an oasis would be  the perfect way to describe Glynnis' training. This went above and beyond teaching. Glynnis shows you how to “dance” your way through a one hour Ayurvedic Head Massage. It was truly magical. I also love how she breaks down each section of the massage and allows time to practice on one another. I left with new skills, more confidence and some beautiful new friends. Thank you for putting your heart and soul into this training."

Rachelle W.

"From the bottom of my heart, my experience in Glynnis’ classes have been life changing. It’s because she embodies what she teaches, her love sparkles in her teaching making it fun, happy, encouraging and rewarding. I love learning the Ayurvedic Head Massage from Glynnis because you receive all you need to offer this service, plus she has crafted deeply blissful oils that make this massage service divine, which you cannot find in stores.  You will walk out feeling your true royalty, fully equipped to offer this beautiful service to your clients and loved ones. It brings Ayurveda to your life, and is such a great way to delve into this world. As this medicine is ancient and deep, the benefits of this course will show up in ways throughout your life that you could never have guessed."

Charlotte C-T.

"The Thousand Petal Lotus intensive head massage course is obviously the absolute diamond of Glynnis' profound wisdom and devotion to this healing art. She sparkles as she  teaches with precision and humour. Anyone interested in traditional healing arts would be honoured to carry down this knowledge that she shares with such passion.
I loved this course very much and can't wait to start sharing it!"

Julia S.

Glynnis is an exquisite teacher with a beautiful presence. I learned so much valuable information and practice this weekend. The learning package that was sent before and after the class was put together very sensibly, relatable and easy to understand. The space was calming, the food incredible and the students pure joy.  I’m Looking forward to connecting with this practice deeper in  November with the online course. In the meantime I’m looking forward to practicing this massage, it’s such a joy to give - very rhythmic and relaxing once you get your groove on!
Highly recommend! Thank - you  

Aretha M.

Whether you are a wellness practitioner, hair stylist, or simply feel drawn to Ayurveda and love a good head massage, Glynnis’ AHM workshop training will be everything you hoped for, and everything you didn’t know you needed in your life. 

You will learn about this ancient and beautiful practice, it’s history, and it’s modern day applications. You will learn technical skill and a thoughtful choreography to take into your work and home life. And you will be inspired by Glynnis’s profound connection and reverence for this beautiful healing modality.  

10/10 would recommend this workshop without a doubt.

You will not be disappointed. 

MORE TESTIMONIALS FROM THE HEART

Thomas S.

"Glynnis is a teacher not to be missed. The experience of this course is so beautiful and unique because of what she brings to it. Rich, spiritual nourishment abounds here. This training is so much more than learning the techniques of the work - There's such wisdom and heart behind it all. We students have been given a great gift which we can now offer for the rest of our lives. And Glynnis has given it with such a sense of passion and joy that I can only feel excitement to continue this journey. My first practice client was delighted by the experience, and giving a session is so sweet and rewarding. My heartfelt gratitude goes to Glynnis for a truly unforgettable experience and gift."

Chelsea J

"During my fifteen years in the spa industry, I've had the pleasure of taking many courses on various complementary modalities.  But, Glynnis' Indian Head Massage class has been by far, my favourite!  Glynnis' teaching style is both captivating and easy to follow, and she makes everybody in the classroom feel included and supported.  Whether you're a beginner who's never massaged another, or a seasoned spa professional, I highly recommend taking this class.  
Thank you Glynnis, you are beautiful, a true healer who radiates love."


Laura G.

"I wanted to first off thank you for one of the most amazing, memorable, and grounding experiences of my life. My life will forever be changed after learning The Ayurvedic Head Massage." 

Jana B.

'I took my first Ayurvedic IHM training in January 2012 and had one excuse
after another as to why I wasn't practising; I then took a full refresher
course again with Glynnis and no excuses this time! I have had 6 practice 'bookings' in one week!  Glynnis is absolutely passionate about what she does and it shows in her training - she is very serious about her teaching but she doesn't take herself seriously and this is wonderful.  She is playful, joyful and exuberant in her training and it made this comprehensive training so much fun!  I loved her training so much it has inspired me to go to India to become even more immersed in Ayurveda.  Glynnis is a wonderful teacher!'


Heather A.

"Glynnis Osher is a highly skilled instructor who operates in the realm of love.  She is a gifted teacher who has no doubt, perfected her craft.  Glynnis's ability to teach others' this therapeutic massage in only 16 hours with such vigor, graciousness, precision and dedication illustrates her unique talent.    I am grateful to have learned from such a master teacher and would recommend taking this course whether it be for self-care, as an added modality or as a fun, creative outlet for the spirit; you will be so pleased that you did.  

One thousand thank-yous"
