Bach and Gavazzoli first met at the Global Wellness Summit in 2014 after Bach asked that spa professionals stop turning away cancer survivors from treatments and instead offered them a place of healing and solace. The Beauty Reloaded program aids both the cancer survivor and the spa professional in educating spa professionals in adapting their protocols to different guests' needs when they have been through some kind of cancer-related treatment or surgery.
