"Thank you AmSpa for hosting such an amazing workshop. We are getting ready to open a med spa, and the information we received regarding marketing, legal aspects, selling products, providing consultations to clients and much more was invaluable. I made many connections with the vendors who were exhibiting, and am excited to discuss their services and products with them in more detail. I am so happy to have found your organization. Thank you! Look forward to the next workshop." – Christina
