Best Med Spa Masterminds and Peer Groups (2026): 9 Compared

For med spa owners. Updated October 2, 2026 · Prepared by Prospyr. Prospyr makes practice software, not peer groups or events, and none of the groups below is a Prospyr product. Prospyr is an AmSpa Platinum partner. Each summary reflects what the organization publishes on its own website, checked October 2026. Dues, eligibility and formats change, so confirm them before you join.

What is a med spa mastermind?

A med spa mastermind is a small, recurring group of practice owners who meet, usually monthly, to share numbers, compare what's working, and hold each other to decisions, often guided by a facilitator or coach. Most "masterminds" in aesthetics today are paid group programs run by a consulting firm, with live calls, a template library and a private online community. The alternatives are associations with member events, and general CEO peer groups such as Vistage, EO and YPO, where you sit with owners from other industries.

The 9 med spa masterminds and peer groups at a glance

How we chose this list

We looked for groups that a med spa owner can actually join, then checked four things you can verify before paying:

• Peer contact. Is there a recurring live session or community, not just a course library?
• Fit for owners. Does the group name practice owners or aesthetic businesses, or set an owner-level bar (as Vistage, EO and YPO-type groups do)?
• Published terms. We noted every published fee and cancellation term.
• A facilitator. Who runs the meetings, and what is their background?

True closed masterminds built only for med spa owners rarely publish details, so this list mixes paid group programs, associations and general CEO peer groups. The order is our editorial view, not a measure of results.

1. Terri's Tribe and Sales & Business Mastery Mentorship

Terri Ross Consulting runs a group program for aesthetic owners and providers who want structured support without paying for private coaching. Terri Ross founded the firm in 2012 and reports training and consulting for more than 2,000 aesthetic practices.

What stands out:

• Monthly live calls. 90-minute strategy and Q&A sessions.
• A peer community. Members join "Terri's Tribe," a private community for networking and accountability.
• Templates and a library. Planners, scripts, SOPs and past trainings are included.
• Published price. $299 a month, as of October 2026.

Right for: owners who want a monthly rhythm and peers working on the same problems: pricing, provider pay, consult conversion. Ask: the minimum commitment, which the page does not state, and how many members join each call. If you want one-on-one help instead, see our business coaches list.

2. Injectables EDU Membership

Injectables EDU was co-founded by nurse anesthetists Cassie Lane, CRNA, DNAP, and Suzanne Jagger, DNP, CRNA. Its membership is for RNs, APRNs and aesthetic clinicians building or scaling a practice.

What stands out:

• Low monthly cost. $99 a month, and the site states there is no long-term commitment.
• Live calls. A monthly "Ask Me Anything" call on the first Wednesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. Eastern.
• Community. A private Facebook group for members.
• Library. Business courses, templates and past webinars.

It also runs a six-month mentorship that adds monthly group Zoom calls, one-on-one mentoring and peer video chat. Right for: nurse-owned practices that want a peer group of owners in the same position. Ask: how many members are practice owners versus new injectors.

3. AmSpa (American Med Spa Association)

AmSpa is the trade association for medical spas and reports serving 15,000+ med spas in all 50 states. Prospyr is an AmSpa Platinum partner. Membership comes in two tiers, AmSpa Basic (solo practitioners and newcomers) and AmSpa Plus (owners and employers); dues are listed on its site as of October 2026.

Its main gathering is the Medical Spa Show, set for April 15–18, 2027 at Wynn Las Vegas, which AmSpa says has drawn 9,600+ attendees from 5,200+ practices since 2018 and includes evening networking events. AmSpa also runs boot camps for owners.

Right for: owners who want compliance resources and the biggest room of other med spa owners once a year. Ask: which member events include structured peer sessions, not just education.

4. 4S Summit

The 4S Summit is a 2.5-day business intensive led by Terri Ross, Izhak Musli and plastic surgeon Dr. Renato Saltz. The 2026 summit runs December 4–6 in Sunny Isles Beach, Miami. Owners work on financials, KPIs and strategy while their teams practice consultations and objection handling, with direct coaching on each practice's own numbers.

Standard registration is $1,797, as of October 2026, with team packages for four or more attendees.

Right for: owners who want an annual working session with peers rather than a monthly commitment. Ask: how many seats are left, and whether there is follow-up after the event.

5. Aesthetic Business Institute

The Aesthetic Business Institute (ABI), based in Branford, Connecticut, is a membership program for the business side of aesthetic practices. It is led by Executive Director Erica Collins, and its advisory board is chaired by Francis Acunzo, CEO of medspa810.

• Published fees. Annual Premium Fellowship $495 a year; Lifetime Fellowship $2,000, as of October 2026. A free tier is also listed.
• Tools. Financial calculators, business toolkits, master classes and industry reports.
• Certification. The lifetime tier includes CAPM (Certified Aesthetic Practice Manager) and CAPD (Certified Aesthetic Practice Director) certification.

Right for: owners who want their practice manager trained alongside them. Ask: how often ABI hosts live events, since its peer contact is mostly through events.

6. IAPAM

The International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine (IAPAM) reports 20 years in operation and 15,000+ providers trained. Membership is $295 a year for physicians, NPs, PAs, CRNAs/APRNs and dentists, as of October 2026.

See our mentorship and coaching list for its training programs.

Right for: physician and NP owners who want clinical and business peers in one place. Ask: how active the member groups are.

7. Vistage

Vistage is a general CEO peer advisory organization reporting 45,000 members in 40 countries. Local, noncompeting peers meet monthly in a confidential group, and each member gets monthly one-on-one coaching from the group's Chair. Its site points its core groups at companies with $5M+ in revenue, and Chairs select members.

Right for: owners of larger or multi-location practices who want peers from outside aesthetics. Ask: the dues, which are not published, and whether there is a group for smaller companies in your area.

8. Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO)

EO is a global network of company founders and owners, reporting about 20,500 members and Accelerator participants across 226 chapters in 66 countries. Its core feature is Forum, a confidential peer group for problem-solving and support. EO lists a median member revenue of $4M and runs an Accelerator program for earlier-stage owners.

Right for: owner-operators who want a confidential owner group and are comfortable being the only aesthetics business in the room. Ask: your local chapter's revenue requirement and annual dues.

9. ISPAN

Regular membership for RNs is $150 a year, and associate membership for LPNs, PAs and other professionals is $105, as of October 2026. Members connect through the ISPAN Connect app and an annual meeting.

Right for: nurse owners who want a clinical peer network alongside a business group. Ask: whether there is a local chapter near you.

Questions to ask any mastermind or peer group

1. Who else is in the group? Ask for the number of members, their practice sizes and how many are owners rather than employees.
2. How often do you meet, and how long? Monthly calls of 90 minutes are common; check that the time works with your clinic schedule.
3. Is it confidential? You will share revenue and staffing details. Ask for the confidentiality rules in writing.
4. Will competitors be in my group? Ask whether owners from your market are excluded.
5. What is the commitment and how do I leave? Get the minimum term, renewal date and cancellation notice.
6. What is being sold to me? Many groups are run by firms that also sell consulting, courses or products. Know which part you are paying for.
7. Never share patient information. Peer groups are not covered by a business associate agreement, so remove names and identifying details from anything you share.

Where Prospyr fits

Peer groups work best when every owner brings real numbers: revenue per provider, rebooking, membership retention and lead conversion. Prospyr keeps booking, charting, payments and memberships in one system, so analytics can show those figures before each meeting. If your group is comparing membership models, see how memberships work in Prospyr, or book a practice demo. Our guide to med spa KPIs and benchmark formulas is a useful common language for any group.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a med spa mastermind cost?

Published prices on this list range from $99 a month (Injectables EDU) to $299 a month (Terri Ross Consulting) for monthly group programs, as of October 2026. Association dues vary; most publish them on their sites. General CEO groups such as Vistage and EO do not publish dues.

Is a mastermind worth it for a single-location med spa?

It can be, if the group includes owners at a similar size and you will act on what you hear. A lower-cost monthly program is a sensible test before a larger commitment. If you need someone to look closely at your own numbers each month, a business coach may fit better.

What is the difference between a mastermind and a conference?

A mastermind is a small group that meets repeatedly and gets to know each other's businesses. A conference is a large, one-time event built around sessions and exhibitors. Many owners do both: one annual event for education and a monthly group for accountability.

Can I join Vistage or EO as a med spa owner?

Yes, both accept owners from any industry, but each sets a size bar. Vistage points its core groups at companies with $5M+ in revenue, and EO lists a median member revenue of $4M with an Accelerator program for earlier-stage owners. Confirm the current requirement with your local chapter.
