My Biography
I was born in Wollongong N.S.W in 1962, both my parents were German Immigrants who had migrated to Australia. I spent my younger years growing up in Wollongong and we moved frequently during these years as my family worked hard to establish their place and provide a life style.
My father was a Carpenter from Gosslar, Germany and my mother was the daughter, with a Bavarian heritage. I have an older brother named Christian who resides in Hamburg and a younger sister named Anna in Australia. At the age of 11 my family moved to Newcastle under protest, I begged to remain in Wollongong with my grandparents, as I had finally made friends and did not wish to move again. This was not permitted and my journey began. I was a rebellious child, and being the eldest suffered the most from moving around, never staying in one place long enough to establish life long friends. I often felt isolated and insecure. I always knew there was another life waiting for me; I just needed to find it.
When I was 8 years old I dreamt of becoming famous, a movie star, model, singer, it didn't matter I just wanted to be noticed and receive recognition and attention. I received a tiara as a gift and then would dress up living my fantasy, providing a glimpse of an alternative lifestyle. The popularity of Marilyn Munro, Elvis Presley and my favorite programs made a big impression on my childhood dreams. I was going to Hollywood to reinvent myself and be a movie star, marry a rich handsome man and live in a glorious big palace.
After finally settling down in Newcastle, in my first year high school, I met a guy he was to be my first love. At first he did not appeal to me, and he spent quite some time attempting to woo me, I was not interested, but with his constant persistence he slowly grew on me. As my feelings gradually grew for my boyfriend over the years I traded fantasy and dreams for love and family. We married young, and had a daughter soon afterwards, however my fairytale life of husband, children and the white picket fence were not to be. As I accepted responsibility as a mother, I pursued further education and employment to provide us a life style. I completed a Beautician Course in Newcastle, and opened my own business in a hair salon in Adamstown.In 1987 I became increasingly restless and required a more challenging position. I was accepted as a Prison Officer, and was posted at Goulburn High Security Men's Prison in 1987, until I received my transfer to Maitland High Security Prison near Newcastle. I was always intent on returning to Newcastle after acceptance. I loved my role as a Prison Officer and it provided me with the confidence and security to support my daughter and myself, I had finally found my niche and knew this was where I belonged. The friends I made at Maitland Prison were the best friends I had ever encountered. Every week we would go to the local hotel and have a meal and dance, husbands, wives, nurses, doctors, everyone was invited and we sustained a great relationship, trust and comradeship, which few people would ever encounter in their lives.
In 1989 I went on a two week cruise around the South Pacific, my work colleagues looked after my daughter for me in my absence. I enjoyed my first adult overseas holiday, it was fantastic and I partied hard. While on this cruise and now at the age of 26 I thought I had the maturity and experience to acknowledge real and everlasting love. I met a man from Melbourne and we spent every spare moment together and had a great time, when the cruise ended we were both miserable and thought we would never see each other gain.
In 1989 I decided to resign from my employment after LWOP(leave without pay) was refused, and moved to Melbourne to commence a new life together. After residing together for 12 months we married 7/7/ 1990. I was hoping that being superstitious that double 7 would assist provide strength in our union. Shortly after moving to Melbourne I joined Corrective Services and was posted at Pentridge High Security Men's Prison due to my previous prison experience in NSW. We were madly in love and most of the time very happy. In 1992 I was rushed to hospital, diagnosed with an en topic pregnancy, at that time I was informed that I would never be able to have more children again without IVF assistance.
Late in 1992 cracks were already evident in our marriage and I became increasingly lonely, depressed, isolated, and misplaced, wishing I could return to Newcastle, and the friends I missed and loved so much. My doctor prescribed anti- depressants, and I requested both Psychiatric and Psychological counseling and assessments as I thought I was mad to feel this bad. I was reassured that I had legitimate problems in my marriage and that this was impacting on my behavior. As I looked in the mirror daily I no longer saw the girl I left behind in Newcastle who was bubbly, bright, wild, happy and confident. I had slowly drifted into another domain.
Desperate not to allow myself to look as bad as I felt, I was determined not to allow my husband to rob me of the years I had given him. This was the initiation of my transformation of restoring and maintaining my youth, and my many cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures to follow. I tried hard to hold our marriage together despite the daily misery I suffered. I kept providing goals, another year, another 2 years, another 3 years, waiting for his children to reach 18 years of age, so the games and interference would stop from his former wife. I did not want another failed marriage.
It was October 1999 and I could not endure the arguing, pain and suffering any longer. My husband always placed his business, the children and then I in that order throughout our marriage. In ten years we only spent one week end away romantically together. It had now been ten years and it was time to say goodbye. It was so hard to give up on something you fought so hard to keep for so long.
I continued to maintain the youthful appearance I commenced and assisted other people to obtain procedures through my knowledge and experience. My daughter took our marriage break up very hard and the additional loss of her brother and sister who sided with their mother and father, also added to her depression. Belinda moved in with her boyfriend in 2000 whilst working at that time as a trainee legal secretary. Her relationship was very dysfunctional with her boyfriend and Christmas Eve 2002 she ended her
life.
After we separated I began to find myself again, enjoying life, partying, dancing, dining, lost weight and looked fantastic. I could feel men's eyes on me when I walked down the road. I felt sexy and confident. No more interference from former wives, children playing us, or living in his shadow. I was finally free.
In June 2000 I sustained an injury at work which was to have an everlasting effect on my health. I attended many GP's and specialists looking for an answer as to why I was always in such chronic pain. I received mixed answers with no cures or relief. Some days the pain drives me insane, however I manage each day as best as one can.
I was on a roller coaster of events which were to change my life forever.
In 2003 my grandmother who raised me through my early years was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I returned to Wollongong to pack up her unit and return her with me to Melbourne. Early one morning I received a phone call advising me that her circulation was ceasing. I raced to the hospital and nursed her in my arms until she died, she had always been afraid of dying and I did not want her to be alone.
Nine months later in 2004 I was due to go to the Solomon Islands to assist in restoring law and order, in the civil unrest in Honiara. My grandfather had exhausted his strength with life and wanted to join my grandmother, I delayed my departure for the Solomon Islands for two weeks but he was strong, yet stubborn. I often think he was waiting for the rest of the family to say goodbye, but they never did.
I departed for the Solomon islands knowing that I was on a 5.5 month contract and that I was unable to return for his funeral, this upset me very much, as I would take him home every weekend and spend quality time with him after my grandmother passed away, before he deteriorated.
On returning from the Solomon Islands in 2004 I went to Thailand and had booked for numerous cosmetic and plastic surgery 
procedures to restore my youth, and wear and tear that life had so cruelly granted me. On returning from Thailand and the Solomon Islands my father passed away shortly there after, which really upset me that I did not have an opportunity to see him before he died.
Shortly there after, I resigned from my place of employment which was running the High Courts of Victoria and established All About Beauty Cosmetic Consultants Pty Ltd which to date has sent more than a thousand clients to Thailand for successful procedures and I am again residing in NSW on the Central Coast, near Newcastle. My zest for life has returned and I enjoy live music, bands, movies, wining, dining, traveling, and sourcing as much information as possible to always ensure that All About Beauty remain leaders in the International Medical Industry.
As the face of All About Beauty and the journey I have begun, it is impossible to ever stop having continued procedures. I call it a service. Once or twice a year I must continue botox or fillers to maintain my youthful appearance, otherwise allot of the money, time and procedures that I have had in the past, will not sustain old age, and I am not willing to grow old gracefully at this time
I have a loyal partner who encouraged me to take this journey and has supported me through out, and is probably my biggest fan. My friends, family, clients and staff also show support through the growth of All About Beauty and the service we so proudly provide to assist others.
