SARAH'S STORY
Sarah has worked with luxury lifestyle brands for nearly 20 years, managing natural skincare and wellness brands for the past 12. She is privileged to work with world-class spas, wellness spaces and beauty industry leaders.
Running her business, juggling a young family and dealing with life’s various stresses, she knows how stress impacts how we look and feel. Sarah believes that to achieve wellness, balance and brightness in skin and self, we need to strengthen our resilience to everyday stress. How? She discovered adaptogen superherbs to support her high-paced life and her eyes were opened…
“When I discovered adaptogen herbs, it was a moment of clarity – these mightily clever herbs bring an approach to stress-relief and balance like no other. The power of these herbs has been clearly evidenced within the most ancient wellness medical fields and is finally now being recognised in the western world too.
The proven results are exciting and this brings something truly remarkable to skincare and wellness.”

BIRCH SYRUP COMPANY
BIRCH SYRUP COMPANY
Nestled in the Isle of Mull, Scotland, we work exclusively with the Birch Syrup Company to source pure birch sap from the birch trees across the Highlands.
Tea & Tonic is the first and only spa and skincare range to use pure birch tree sap from the British Isles.
Did you know?
Birch Sap is tapped from Birch Trees and has been consumed for hundreds of years in the Northern Hemisphere with a reputation for improving wellness and helping various skin conditions. This Highlands Birch Sap is stacked with micro-nutrients including 17 amino acids and an abundance of trace minerals. A powerhouse of antioxidants and rejuvenating virtues and hence why it has formed the first hybrid Tonic-Serum.
What makes them special?
Sourcing from the trees high up in the beautiful forest in the far North of Scotland, where the air is pure and the water runs clear. These perfect conditions produce the highest quality birch sap, created in a way that is environmentally friendly and fully sustainable.

Lavender is not just relaxing! Did you know?
Whilst always thought of for its scent, it contains remarkable healing properties and has been used in folk remedies for centuries to treat many an ailment. Lavender also has adaptogenic properties so can be uplifting AND relaxing providing a source for clarity and energy as well as a source for sleep and deep relaxation. We cleverly blend to harness the therapeutic powers to suit each product and need.
What makes them special?
The Cotswold Lavender is harvested at the peak of the summer sunshine and distilled by traditional methods and aged for a year before use. They harvest over 40 different varieties over 140 miles of rows – that’s over 500,000 plants in total!

THE FUTURE FOREST COMPANY
THE FUTURE FOREST COMPANY
This company is the future of forests, striving to improve climate change and a planting plan which is approved by Scottish Natural Heritage. These very forests are where we source our Birch Tree Sap…and are the same forests we reinvest into with Our Carbon sustainability scheme. Unlike many carbon schemes, we have full and direct traceability of offsetting our carbon directly back to a specific tree and forest. We are pioneering the way for skincare and wellness brands with such a partnership where we literally feed back to the exact trees we have taken from!
