Dear Penny and Tri,

"I loved learning at Bali Bisa. I took the 5-day Balinese massage course and I want to return for another course. Bali Bisa offers a great learning environment. I'll always remember where I practiced my massages: near the patio on the 2nd floor with the view of the beautiful flowers and tropical trees and the Balinese sky. It was such an enjoyable experience. Everyone at Bali Bisa is very friendly and positive. Both my trainers, Siti and Kadek, were very patient with me and taught me a lot fo things. When I am in Bali again, I will definitely come back for another course.

Dear Bali BISA,
A good training program involves having good training materials and experienced and professional trainers. I attended a 8-day Balinese massage and Natural Facial massage course with BISA and I must say they have achieved both the criteria's !
I thoroughly enjoyed the course with them not because of the fact that it was a very good program they have put together ,but also because I was lucky to have 2 very experienced,attentive and professional trainers to guide me through the program . I had a limited time to finish the course and Miss Penny,the director of the academy, was kind enough to tailor to my needs and started my course on a Sunday even though it was a day off for them ! I deeply appreciated the fact that this was an exception and I was pleasantly surprised .
The kindness and warmth of the Balinese people also touched me deeply in terms of the way they accommodated my needs.
Thank you for a wonderful time and experience at Bali BISA , and I really hope to come back to Bali to see you again or perhaps attend more courses !
My warmest regards to Miss Siti and Kadek, my 2 trainers and Ibu Made,Ayu and Tri for your wonderful presence and support !
Continue the good work Penny and I hope you will have great success for your school !
Sincerely,

Dear Ibu Penny,

I'd like to send a quick note to express my appreciation for all the staff at Bali Bisa. Those that i have dealt with since starting my short training in May 2008 and i realize that i only see a small number of staff and student have rarely been anything other than PLEASANT and HELPFUL.
In particular, i would pick out my personal teacher "KADEK" with her patience taught professional, relax and enjoyable course every single day.
"MBAK SITI", is always very pleasant and shows professional attention for every student.
Last but not least, IBU PENNY has always been extremely helpful giving extra time to improve my courses know more about spa therapist and i really appreciate this.

Ps: Regards to everybody in BaliBisa, I am missing you all.

Cheers,

For anybody entering a new field, it is a daunting matter of choice and gaining knowledge effectively. I was looking for quality Spa education and found Balibisa on the web. On casually dropping by on a holiday to ‘check it out’, the meeting with Penny instilled the confidence in me to explore further. After a few consultations, I took the plunge and enrolled for the Spa Director Course.

I got valuable insights on what makes a Spa successful. Especially the tips on guest service, the enormous importance on training your staff, hiring wisely, the things you need to lookout during setup. The key take away for me has been: “Your Spa can look like heaven, but only your staff can make it one”. I am very impressed with the way her staff is trained that I want one of her trainers for my own Spa!

There are these little tricks of trade that only a Spa veteran can tell you. Penny is the one I want by my side in this venture.

Thanks Penny

Thank you and the team at BISA for a great course in Balinese massage. The 1 week course exceeded my expectations! Beginning with the complete history of Balinese massage, specific massage  strokes used and ultimately, learning the 60 minute routine. As a licensed massage therapist in the US, I really appreciate the fact that special attention is paid to proper body movements (mechanics)  for the therapist. This very important to ensure that it is a great massage for the client and safe for the therapist. So very important for prevention of injuries.

Whether someone wants to learn massage for the first time or focus on a specific modality, BISA offers first rate training!!"

As promised, here is the photo from our class!

To Ibu Penny and the entire staff at Bali Bisa.

Thank you so much for the last 3 months. I’ve had so much fun! And I have learnt so much . I’ll miss you all (almost as much as cap cay ayam+ nasi… he he!)

Had a wonderful learning experience at BaliBisa.
Coming to think of it, it is the first time I thoroughly enjoyed a training session as much as I did this time!
Great people, great environment, great training techniques.
It was a pity that time did not permit me a longer course duration, but I will most certainly be back for more modules.
In the meantime, I will recommend BaliBisa to everyone, anytime.
Keep it up, Ibu Penny and Team!

Going to various spas in South East Asian region I wanted to learn about the "Authentic" massage strokes and spa etiquette. I always enjoyed my time in the spas in Bali. So I decided to take up a course in Balinese massage. There were many options available in Singapore where I am based at, but I opted to go to Bali Bisa, in Sanur where the Principal Director is a well known instructor and consultant to some of the world class resorts in the region.

At first all seemed very overwhelming. I did not have any experience other than receiving massages. The trainer was very patient and very knowledgeable but, firm.

It is hard work and needs dedication as it is not a school which will take your money and give you a piece of paper at the end of the course. Bisa offers comprehensive, professional, top class training.

At the end of the day course I felt very confident. I had a chance to have a glimpse into this new but increasingly popular industry and time permitting I am thinking of going for the spa management course later and have recommended the school to my friends in the industry.
