HomeGabriella was born into a family where her father was a doctor and her godfather was a chemist. It was her godfather who upon her graduation as a Master Beauty Therapist presented her with his collection of natural family skincare recipes. Seeing her father serve and care for his patients influenced Gabriella to pass on this deep care and enthusiasm for wellbeing to her own clients. For a true Beauty Therapist is not only trained in science and natural therapies but also serves as a councellor and healer. Gabriella feels a Therapist should be first and foremost a friend to her clients.
Gabriella's career as a Beauty Therapist spans over 30 years and her knowledge has been gathered from different European countries with a long history of Beauty Academies. She studied at the Budapest Beauty Academy where she specialised in Cosmetic Chemistry. Here she learned the various aspects and challenges of cream creation.
She has owned salons in Hungary, Germany and Australia and created her first cosmetics known as Kosmetik-Gabrielle Skin Care Products in Germany in 1975. It was in Germany that she became acquainted with the world renowned Naturopath and Phytotherapist Maurice Messeque. Monsieur Messeque was the Natural Therapist of Grace Kelly and Pope John Paul II. He is known in Europe as the father of New Age cosmetics. It was from his enthusiasm that Gabriella got inspiration to start her own natural cosmetic products. She really resonated with these nature-based ideas deciding to only use plant ingredients and herbal extracts without any preservatives. The phyto (plant) therapeutic approach avoids using any high-tech chemicals or synthetic substances. She realised early on that quality cosmetics require bio-absorbable substances as close to their natural state as possible. Her products therefore reflect this philosophy making use of less water and more active ingredients which have the capacity to effect long lasting positive changes to the epidermis. Gabriella also stronlgy believes in no frills packaging in order to spend that money on the contents rather than superflous packaging which only increases the strain on our natural environment.
During the last 20 years she has refinded her knowledge of skincare and cream production for menopausal skin. She decided to launch the Menopause Treatment Organic Sknincare Range as a response to the requests of her clients. She knows and loves every drop of the preperations that she creates.
Gabriella pays utmost attention to every detail in the production process. She learned to make creams only in a calm and meditative state of mind. Her beauty products are carefully hand made in her own laboratory. Each batch is produced specifically to meet the ordered demand of her clients. This ensures that the products are always fresh and reach the client in time as they have an eight months shelf life.
For the production of the Natural Estrogen Vitality Oil for example, clay pots filled with plants and oils are taken outside on sunny days to get charged by the sun. After three weeks the plants steeped in oils, are decanted and poured into dark glass flasks ready for use.
Gabriella has worked unwearingly and from the heart for the last two years to achieve the launch of her Menopause range. Her older clients needed something that culd meet their specific needs. It is during menopause that the skin needs more looking after with added emphasis on moisturising, protecting and nourishing. The speed of aging accelerates only if the skin is not well maintained and kept healthy during menopause. Gabriella understands that during menopause a woman goes through a very sensitive period in her life. Having experienced it herselfshe can offer reassuring advice and useful tips on skincare. All her products are simple to use, are in harmony with nature and effective in their action. They do what a cream is meant to do. They support the skin for a healthier and more balanced woman one who enjoys her age .
I believe that this talent to create these preparations is a gift from the Divine and I am grateful to thereby be able to serve and help so many women.
