I am Fatima, from Argentina. I did a Kobido massage training with Atharva in Arambol, Goa and it was amazing! He is a great teacher! His explanations and demonstrations of each technique are very clear and he will make sure that you understand properly how each movement works. I highly recommend this course! After the training I feel very confident about offering Kobido to others. Thank you so much Atharva for your kindness and dedication. I can see how much you love teaching this beautiful facial massage! If you are thinking about doing this training, he is the best teacher I have had!

I can say I was lucky to find this place. You’ll learn so much in 7 days, and it’s truly worth every penny I’ve paid. I already feel comfortable giving kobido massages and that is all due to Atharva, his skills, and teaching techniques. If you want to learn kobido massage I highly recommend this place

Atharva is not only a great facial massage professional but also an amazing teacher. He is very patient and kind when teaching us, always concerned that we understand, practice and are able to apply his knowledge. It is amazing what you learn and achieve in just one week of classes, none of us could have imagined at first that we could give an entire session alone! And the best thing is that you know that he will always be there to help or refresh the information learned. Thank you Atharva for being a great teacher and soul and also for the week of learning. Now: practice practice practice.

Super ! I feel grateful and happy about the decision that I made to learn from Atharva. The training at APURVAM was very good. Atharva is very calm n patient, with attention to details. I very much enjoyed the learning process. Thank you. Simple clear and focused

I have been interested in face massage ever since visiting Atharva for treatments and experiencing not just for the intense relaxation that he creates but also the look and feel of my skin – I glow! This year I decided I wanted to learn this art myself and I have nothing but gratitude for this masters teachings. I had 6 full days of teaching and practicing on a real people and 2 days of being observed in a client setting. The last 2 days were nerve-racking for me but Atharva was very encouraging and all the teachings of the past week came together perfectly! Thank you Atharva, can’t wait to see you next year!

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a Kobido face massage, a traditional Japanese technique renowned for its anti-aging benefits. Guided by the skilled hands of Atharva, who taught me the intricacies of this ancient art. Atharva’s guidance throughout the process was invaluable. He explained each step, ensuring I understood how the massage was benefiting my skin and overall well-being. His dedication to preserving the authenticity of this ancient technique was truly inspiring✨

Very good training with Atharva who is very patient and an excellent teacher. He really takes his time to explain, help and gives advices. I recommend his training 100%. Thank you Atharva again, hope to see you soon so you can give me advices on my practice !

I recently finished Facial Therapy Training with Atharva in Goa. The training was interesting, intense, professional, and with detailed study. I am immensely glad that I have chosen the Facial Therapy Training (Kobido) and am grateful to Atharva for the high quality of education, patience, and work! Now my friends appreciate my Kobido massage, and I enjoy the process! Atharva is a wonderful master and teacher! Immensely grateful!

The training was exceptionally professional; the massage technique is very complex, yet Atharva is patient in explaining and re-explaining everything in detail. Plus, the venue is welcoming and well-located. I highly recommend it!

I recently attended Apurvam Facial therapy massage course, and it was an incredible experience. Atharva our teacher is highly knowledgeable and explained the techniques in a clear and engaging manner, making the class enjoyable and easy to follow. Their calm demeanor and step-by-step approach helped me feel confident in practicing the exercises on my own. The sessions were well-structured, blending education about facial muscles with practical demonstrations. I appreciated the attention to detail, especially when Atharva offered personalized tips to ensure I was performing the exercises correctly. Since starting the course, I’ve noticed improvements in muscle tone, relaxation, and even my skin’s glow. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to explore facial yoga. Atharva creates a warm and welcoming environment that encourages growth and self-care.”

I followed facial therapy massage training with Atharva. I was very much impressed by the professional and educational teaching by Atharva. He explains the techniques in different steps, is very patient and gives valuable feedback. I was also very happy with the manual. The massage is a highly interesting and effective therapy. Atharva is a very gentle and highly professional trainer. I recommend him very much.

I got an opportunity to learn Kobido facial massage therapy from Atharva. Message for Atharva: I just wanted to say how much I appreciated your facial massage training! Your knowledge and technique were so impressive, and I felt really comfortable learning from you. You explained each step clearly and made sure everyone understood the benefits of each movement. It was a great experience, and I can already see and feel the positive effect on the people I have been practising on. Thank you for making the class so engaging and informative!" I wish you all the success and wish to join you again in Future.

I had joined the March batch for Kobido Massage and it was a great experience learning the traditional Japanese techniques for face massage. I had no prior experience about any kind of massage and I had doubts if I would be able to learn it. Atharva is a very knowledgeable and patient teacher who made sure that I was able to learn all the techniques and shared knowledge about the vessels and meridians. It was an amazing experience learning this at Apurva's training and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this to everyone.

I have had the opportunity to participate in Kobido facial training with Atharva, who is an exceptional instructor. His patience and individual attention to each student is commendable. I would highly recommend his course. The facility is well-maintained and clean. The quality of the products used for facial treatments is of high standard, although the quantity of products used is minimal. I am extremely satisfied with the course and believe it will be beneficial for my professional growth.

I completed my kobido facial therapy massage training at Apurvam by Atharva, at Goa. The trainer has enough patience to make sure that we get the techniques well. It was a step by step, hands on learning experience .it took 8 days of intensive practice followed by exam in the end. I personally find it very meditative & engaging. A value for money & time invested.

Atharva is a wonderful teacher. He teaches kobido with a lot of patience and dedication. I am grateful to have learnt this therapeutic and healing art form from him, which has enabled me to share this gift forward with my clients and friends with effective results.

In India, you can go for a massage only on the recommendation! This master was advised to me by a friend and I returned to him the next day for a full body massage. It has a very clean and REAL massage table which is very rare in India. He knows what he is doing. This is not the appearance of massage – this is a real bodywork combined with breathing practices.

It has been a year since I completed the Kobido Japanese facial massage training with Atharva. During this time, I have practiced extensively and grown significantly as a professional, so I am now ready to share a comprehensive review. I had long been searching for a truly skilled instructor in facial massage—and I am a very meticulous and demanding person when it comes to making such choices. While spending the winter in Goa, I discovered that a new training group was forming. After meeting in person, talking, and experiencing a Kobido facial massage myself, I knew: "This is it! I’ve found my teacher!" The training was conducted in person. Our entire group hung on every word during the theory sessions, and we practiced the techniques on models—as well as on each other—to ensure we fully understood exactly what our future clients should feel. We covered every stage of Kobido in a single course, which is fantastic! Not every school offers such a comprehensive, all-encompassing education. We emerged as highly skilled professionals, equipped with a complete toolkit of knowledge and practical experience. Atharva is an incredibly attentive instructor; not a single hand movement went unnoticed or uncorrected. Immediately after the training, I began practicing, and it didn’t take long to build a base of grateful clients. Kobido is a unique facial massage technique—unlike any other—which helps me stand out from my peers in my home city. To anyone currently searching for a facial massage instructor, I highly recommend Atharva’s Kobido training course! 🙌🏼 I would like to express my deep gratitude and respect for his hard work, his love for people, his sense of responsibility toward his students, and his dedication to his profession—a profession truly rooted in helping others. 🙏🏻 Svetlana Komarova. Sending warm regards to Atharva from Russia! 🫶🏼

Amazing treatment and a precious gift for yourself. Releases tension, brings relaxation and satisfaction. The face is shining after that. Highly recommended to try Atharva’s magic ❤️
