Energy is everything. I'm a bit of a pocket rocket, and Her Belle Tease is my baby.
Looking back, every chapter of my life has been leading me here.
I've worked in research, the corporate sustainable fashion world, lived in the mountains, collaborated with artists and makers, helped shape legislation, organised events, built communities, and designed experiences that bring people together. They might seem like very different paths, but they've all been driven by the same curiosity.
I'm fascinated by how people, nature and ideas connect.
Part experimenter, part storyteller, I love exploring the space where innovation meets intuition. Whether it's biological science, regenerative systems, plant wisdom, creativity or the actions that shape our everyday lives, I'm always asking the same question:
How do we create experiences that genuinely change the way people feel?
I'm the person who somehow pops into people's lives when they're ready for a change. Years later, people tell me they're still using something I taught them, still thinking about a conversation we had, or they've kept the little gift I gave them somewhere they see every day.
My biggest belief? You already have everything you need, sometimes you just need someone to remind you.
Whether that's through a cup of tea, a wild plant walk, a creative workshop, a beautifully made jumper, a piece of art or simply sharing a story, Her Belle Tease exists to reconnect people with themselves, each other and the natural world.
I believe the most meaningful innovation doesn't always come from creating something new, it often comes from helping people see something familiar in a completely different way.
Equal parts curiosity, creativity and evidence.
With a little sparkle thrown in for good measure.
What's that?
It's A Samm. IYKYK.
About Us
Welcome to
Her Belle Tease
Her Belle Tease is a transmedia creative herbal practice exploring the relationship between plants, people, food, medicine, bioconstruction, bioaccumulation and art.
Through seasonal workshops, plant-based products, and storytelling, we help people rediscover the multifunctional uses of plants, from food and herbal remedies to natural dyes, ecological building materials, and everyday wellbeing.
Our work is inspired by the belief that plants are teachers. When we slow down and listen, they reveal practical knowledge that has supported humans for thousands of years. We don't want to lose you in the woo, so we focus on a combination of science and folk history. This helps us have space to explain that there really is something beyond what we can see with our eyes.
We do not believe that it is the war of PLANTS VERSUS PHARMA dun dun duuuun...
We do believe in harmony, in balance. In a way of trusting our intuition and when it says we need pharma use it, we collate information into one place so as many questions can be answered. We do need you to do your own research, Her Belle Tease is a starting place. An inspiration source.
We believe in technology as friends equal in the creation of this world, we use technology from drop spindles that is tech from 20,000 years ago and scissors, tech from the 1500s to digital cameras, Google, PubMed, AI and quantum mechanics. Yet we make sure that as much as possible comes from the human and plant and animal technologies that we are (aka senses). Intuition, love, forgiveness, authenticity.
We understand that so much fear and greed has caused so much loss in the world, along with the desire to control. For Her Belle Tease our message is about autonomy and information to lead people into a form of freedom. That freedom can be freedom of choice for teas other than mint, ginger and green. Freedom of creative expression by learning to make plant inks to paint in the forest whilst camping. Freedom from pain as there has been inspiration to explore different health based practices from around the world that work harmoniously with Western practices. Freedom of learning how to utilise our body and the nature around us like communities in remote areas of the world. Freedom of re-wilding ourselves, connecting to our indigenous roots. Freedom of exploring nature on our walks, and freedom from the rigidity of herbs or tech by exploring plants through phones.
At Her Belle Tease our logo comes from a rotting piece of wood we found in Italy, she IS Her Belle Tease, the spirit, the essence, the witch, the divine being. The herbal tea brand run by a forest fairy and Samm is just the human representative. The artworks you see across Her Belle Tease are created from the teas themselves. Each blend creative a pattern, a Prediction that contains the spirit of the blend. They are the guides of the blends. Formed as a collective messanger from the combination of the energies and essences of the ingredients. Something similar to a totem, something similar to Celtic portal access point. (we will go into this much more deeply).
Until then, thank you kindly for all your love, good will, support and enjoyment.
Love
