The Luxury Beauty story founded by Danique Motzheim

The Journey of Glamour and Compassion: The Birth of Amsterdam's Luxury Beauty App.


In the heart of Amsterdam, a city known for its picturesque canals and vibrant culture, a unique luxury beauty app emerged, intertwining the worlds of therapy and glamour. This is the story of Danique Motzheim, the visionary founder who bridged the gap between her role as a therapist for children and a family mediator, and her desire to look and feel confident during her limited breaks.


Danique's journey began in the realm of therapy, where she dedicated her time and expertise to helping children navigate through challenging life experiences. In her spare moments, she passionately created YouTube videos to offer insights into the intricate world of children facing tough challenges, providing parents with a glimpse into the minds of their little ones.


Between therapy sessions and family mediations, Danique found herself with just one precious hour, a mere sixty minutes to refresh and rejuvenate before her next commitment. It was during these fleeting moments that she realized the importance of self-care, specifically in the form of well-manicured nails. For someone constantly engaged in deep conversations and emotional exchanges, projecting confidence was crucial.


The challenge, however, lay in finding a skilled nail artist who could accommodate her tight schedule. The search on the internet proved fruitless; there was no artist willing to provide on-demand services, especially to someone as time-constrained as Danique. Frustration settled in as she grappled with the dilemma of maintaining a polished appearance amid her demanding profession.

Beyond the beauty aspect, Danique faced another hurdle in her career. As a young therapist, she struggled with the conventional methods of marketing and promotion. Her passion lay in helping people, not in navigating the intricacies of sales and advertising. Despite her dedication to aiding families and children, there was no platform where she could showcase her skills as a therapist without delving into the world of marketing.

The turning point came when Danique envisioned a solution that not only addressed her personal grooming needs but also created a platform for therapists like herself. She conceived the idea of a luxury beauty app that would connect busy professionals with skilled beauty experts, bringing the salon experience to their doorstep.


This app, born out of Danique's desire for convenience and self-care, evolved into a sanctuary for therapists, offering them the opportunity to showcase their services without the burdens of marketing and sales. It became a marketplace where therapists could be featured, connecting with clients seeking their unique expertise.


As the app gained popularity, it became a symbol of empowerment for therapists like Danique who could now focus solely on their craft, leaving the business aspects to the platform. The app not only transformed the beauty industry but also became a catalyst for change in the way therapists approached their careers.

Today, the luxury beauty app founded in Amsterdam by Danique Motzheim stands as a testament to the fusion of glamour and compassion. It is a reminder that innovation can emerge from personal challenges, and that by addressing our own needs, we have the power to revolutionize entire industries. In the bustling streets of Amsterdam, the echoes of Danique's journey resonate, reminding us all that sometimes, true beauty lies in the intersection of passion and practicality.
