Empowering Entrepreneurship: How Danka Went from Employee to Medspa CEO with Moxie
ICU nurse Danka DiMichele transformed her career by launching The Beauty Haven Medspa. With help from Moxie, she overcame business hurdles and quickly grew her medspa into her community's trusted destination for aesthetic care.
Introduction
Transitioning from healthcare provider to business owner is a big shift, one that ICU nurse Danka DiMichele experienced firsthand. Launching The Beauty Haven gave her the opportunity to blend her medical background with her creative side. While the transition brought both excitement and challenges, with the right support and a clear plan, she transformed her vision into a thriving practice.
“Moxie gave me the security I needed to focus on promoting my services and building my clientele. I could trust that everything else was being taken care of.”
Challenges of Going Solo
After working as both an injector at a local medspa and an ICU nurse, Danka felt drawn to pursue her entrepreneurial dreams and leave the burnout behind.
Danka lacked confidence in navigating the complex legal, financial, and operational requirements of starting a medspa on her own.
Securing a medical director, a critical legal requirement, proved confusing and time-consuming without industry guidance.
From compliance and accounting to marketing and growth strategy, Danka needed a partner to help with all the moving parts.
Danka had the vision, talent, and determination to build a thriving brand-she just needed the right guidance to bring it to life.
Transformation with Moxie
Within the first month of launching Beauty Haven Medspa, Danka exceeded her revenue goal by 330%. “Partnering with Moxie was the best decision I could have made for myself,” she reflects. “I’m booked solid two weeks in advance.”
Danka's Launch Guide led her through a comprehensive, step-by-step process that addressed every critical aspect of launching her med spa.
Moxie provided expert support in securing the ideal medical director and connecting with trusted aesthetic industry partners.
Freed of time-consuming administrative tasks, Danka was able to focus on providing exceptional care and a memorable client experience.
Danka surpassed her initial business goals, maintained a consistently full schedule, and built a powerful reputation within her community.
“The advice that I would give to anybody wanting to start a med spa is to find the right people to connect with so you get the support that you need. You can't do it alone. And if you are alone, I would recommend partnering with a company like Moxie.”
