Lorraine Bellis believes that by the time women reach their sixties, lived experience becomes one of their greatest strengths. Her own journey has taken many unexpected turns - through publishing, gardening, holistic health and women’s wellbeing - with each chapter deepening her understanding of resilience, healing and what it truly means to feel well.

After working in publishing and raising a family, Lorraine retrained as a gardener and began teaching families how to grow their own food. What began as a love of gardening soon evolved into a deeper passion for biodiversity, heirloom seeds, organic growing and living in harmony with nature. Over time, this connection to the natural world transformed her own wellbeing, leading her towards a more plant-based lifestyle, reduced alcohol consumption, regular movement and a more intentional, holistic approach to health and living.

Alongside this, Lorraine has spent many years exploring herbal medicine, yoga, healing practices and complementary therapies. She believes true wellbeing is never about treating one symptom alone, but about supporting the mind, body and spirit together. When Herbs of Grace came into her life, it felt like a natural alignment of everything she cared about most - nature, women’s health, traditional herbal wisdom and holistic wellbeing.

Today, Lorraine is passionate about helping women feel informed, supported and empowered in their own health journeys. She understands how often women’s symptoms can feel overlooked or misunderstood, particularly when it comes to hormonal health and midlife wellbeing. Through Herbs of Grace, Lorraine shares trusted herbal support, practical knowledge and compassionate guidance grounded in both traditional wisdom and modern research. Herbalists remain at the heart of everything the company creates, combining centuries of herbal expertise with scientific understanding. Most importantly, Lorraine wants women to know they are not alone, because sometimes feeling better begins with finally feeling understood.
