THOUSAND PETAL LOTUS AYURVEDIC HEAD MASSAGE
Thousand Petal Lotus™ is offered as a lineage-based professional training in Ayurvedic Head Massage, shared through presence, touch, beauty, and relationship. Rooted in classical Ayurvedic wisdom and refined through decades of practice, it is offered as an embodied experience, followed by ongoing learning and integration — for practitioners and healers who feel called to share this work with integrity, devotion, and depth.
An Embodied Initiation
This two-day weekend immersion is offered as a hands-on experience, a master training where the work is received through direct relationship — not merely learned as a sequence of techniques. The learning unfolds in an intimate, nourishing environment that supports presence, attention, and joyful integration.
Over the course of the weekend, participants are guided through the complete Thousand Petal Lotus™ Ayurvedic Head Massage — a classical, marma-informed practice that weaves together rhythm, stillness, precision, and care. Instruction is clear and thorough, yet unhurried, allowing space for the work to settle naturally into the body and spirit.
Your weekend will not only bring you this new modality to share and offer to others and bring you great joy as a practitioner, but will also introduce you to Ayurvedic self-care wisdom and a nourishing connection to your inner beauty.
Lunch is included both days - healthy plant based options made at the enchanting Garden Strathcona Cafe on the premises. Ayurvedic herbal Chai on tap all weekend.

I wanted to share my enthusiastic testimonial for the amazing AHM course I recently completed with you in Vancouver this October.
Having the opportunity for hands-on instruction added an incredible, practical dimension to the many months I spent studying your comprehensive online course material. It truly solidified the learning experience.
Beyond the content, I must say what an amazing dynamic human you are. Your whole demeanor and teaching style were in themselves an incredible experience. You created such a nurturing and holistic environment—from the thoughtfully chosen location and room settings to the wonderful lunches and even the supportive group of like minded students I was blessed to be a part of.
I can not thank you enough for giving me the opportunity to embrace this practice. Thank you for everything.
I LOVE my online course. You changed my life and gave me a future through this healing, for this I am eternally grateful.
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 (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! "
" 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."
“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”
"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."
"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."
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.
"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."
"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."
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.
You may not be ready to go to this professional level with both the in-person and follow-up online master training, but still wish to learn and share this practice with others who need this powerful healing touch.
You can sign up for only the in-person weekend training retreat here:
No. You do not need to take the full Master Training in order to learn and practice Thousand Petal Lotus™ Ayurvedic Head Massage.
There are two ways to train, depending on how you wish to engage with the work:
You may choose the In-Person Weekend Training, a two-day immersion focused on embodied learning of the method, rhythm, and professional application.
Or, you may choose the Complete Training Arc, which includes both the in-person weekend and the Online Master Training that follows, offering extended study, integration, and long-term support.
Both pathways teach the same in-person practice. The difference lies in the level of structure, mentorship, and ongoing integration you would like around the work.
The In-Person Weekend Training is a complete, standalone professional training. It focuses on learning the Thousand Petal Lotus™ method through direct, embodied practice and guided instruction.
The Complete Training Arc includes the same in-person weekend, along with the Online Master Training that follows. The online component supports continued learning, deepening, and integration over time, and includes additional teachings on Ayurveda for head massage, marma/energy point work, Ayurvedic aromatherapy and product-making for the practice, and a component on marketing and branding to successfully align and set up your wellness business.
Some practitioners prefer to begin with the in-person foundation. Others appreciate the continuity and depth of the full arc. Both are valid pathways into the work.
The In-Person Weekend Training is ideal if you want to learn the Thousand Petal Lotus™ practice through direct, embodied experience. It is a complete, standalone training focused on hands-on learning of the method, rhythm, and professional application.
The in-person training does not include the Online Master Training. If you later wish to deepen your study, the online component may be registered for separately at the standard online course rate.
The Complete Training Arc is designed for practitioners who feel ready to step fully into this work as a professional practice. It includes both the in-person weekend and the Online Full Bloom Master Training that follows, offering continued study, integration, and support as the work settles into your hands and practice.
Many practitioners begin with the in-person foundation and choose to deepen over time. Others prefer the continuity and completeness of the full arc from the outset. Both pathways are respected and supported.
