Hattie Wells is a psychedelic practitioner, drug policy reform advocate, and co-director of Breaking Convention. As one of the first people in the UK to facilitate ibogaine treatments for interrupting addiction in the early 2000s, 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 NGOs such as Psyaware, the Beckley Foundation, Transform Drug Policy Foundation and ICEERS, to support psychedelic science initiatives, promote harm reduction, challenge the needless criminalisation of people who use certain drugs, and create a path forward that minimises the risks and maximises the benefits of the use of psychedelics and plant medicines. Hattie is currently working as a research therapist in clinical trials, where she has experience with ibogaine, 5-MeO-DMT and LSD. She lives in Bristol with her two daughters.
