“I invited Sylvia to bring SPABITCHGURU to the Spa & Wellness Talks stage at Premiere Orlando because she is a force—and a true original. A fierce combo of wisdom and edge, guts and grace, few understand the inner workings of spa culture as she does, after a lifetime of creating it, questioning it and pushing it forward. Sylvia has always spoken her truth, even when it makes people uncomfortable. Smart, provocative, fearless and unmistakably her own, that voice is exactly what our industry needs.”
