Amber Bechthold
Founder & CEO

 

I never set out to become “the compliance girl.” In 2021, I began my journey as a consultant, helping med spa owners launch and grow with confidence. I offered a mix of business strategy and regulatory support, but it didn’t take long before I saw a deeper problem. Just a year and a half in, I realized the true gap wasn’t in consulting. It was in compliance.

 

The med spa industry was exploding, but providers had nowhere to turn for clear, state-specific guidance. I knew I had to fill that void and I haven’t looked back since.

In those early days, I printed every page of every compliance manual on my home printer. I slid each one into a sheet protector, by hand, for hours at a time. Sometimes that meant asking my husband and kids to pitch in, turning our living room into an assembly line. It wasn’t glamorous but it mattered. I knew what I was building could make a real difference.

And then one day, sitting at my desk, I noticed my Happy Planner. It was a total God moment. I looked at the sleek disc-bound design and thought, What if I could do this for compliance? That one spark changed everything. I did the research, sourced the materials, and created a new system - compliance manuals that were beautiful, efficient, and scalable.

 

That was the beginning of what you see today at ACE.

​

I don’t consult anymore because compliance is the job. It’s a full-time, high-stakes, ever-evolving space, and I’m committed to being the industry expert. Every manual we create is built with intention, designed to protect providers, elevate standards, and make compliance not just manageable, but empowering.

​

And behind all of this? My faith, my family, and a fierce desire to help others build something lasting. Because compliance isn’t just paperwork—it’s peace of mind. It’s your license, your livelihood, and your legacy.
