Hattie Wells is a psychedelic practitioner, ethnobotanist, activist, and director of Breaking Convention. As one of the first people in the UK to facilitate ibogaine treatments for interrupting addiction, she has been dedicated to researching and disseminating information about the therapeutic potential of ibogaine and other psychedelics for over twenty years.
She has worked with organizations such as the Beckley Foundation, Transform Drug Policy Foundation, and ICEERS, in an effort to support psychedelic science initiatives, promote harm reduction, challenge the needless criminalisation of people who use certain drugs, and create a path forward that minimizes the risks and maximizes the benefits of the use of psychedelics and plant medicines. She consults for various organizations in the psychedelic space (nonprofit and for-profit), and is currently working as a psychedelic guide for clinical trials.
