What if beauty wasn’t just skin deep, but part of healing?

In this episode of The Power of Integrity, host Ralph Adamo speaks with Becky Kuehn, founder and CEO of Oncology Spa Solutions, who turned her personal cancer diagnosis at age 18 into a nationwide movement to restore dignity, care, and comfort to cancer patients through customized esthetic treatment and education.

Becky shares how her early experience with cancer reshaped her career in the spa industry and led her to build a company that now trains over 16,000 spa and medical professionals to serve medically fragile clients with compassion and clinical understanding. She dives into the personal and professional moments where her integrity was tested, turning down partnerships, rejecting shortcuts, and even walking away from lucrative deals to protect her mission: no cancer patient should be turned away from care because providers don’t know how to help.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ How Becky created a national training and certification program for oncology esthetics

✅ Why she turned down money and partners that didn’t share her values

✅ What it takes to create products safe enough for patients going through chemotherapy and radiation

🎙 Podcast Quote: "I’ve turned away a lot of money, but I’ve gained so much more by staying true to the mission." – Becky Kuehn
