About
Ann, the driving force behind Sent et détend, took a herbalist course with Maurice Godefridi a few years ago. During the first lesson, he had his students smell the root of the yellow clove...the scent of cloves and earth gave her an intense feeling of happiness!
From that moment on, she became fascinated by aromatic plants and focused on natural fragrances. Through the informative, scientifically based lessons on the medicinal powers of plants, she sensed the path she would take in the plant kingdom: she would primarily follow her nose and intuition. Around the same time, Lies Jacobs offered her part of her backyard. Gradually, the space transformed into a semi-wild, aromatic plant garden with an accompanying drying shed. The idea of allowing people to enjoy healing plant scents took shape and gave her life a new, gentle direction.
Sensory perception naturally has a profound impact on Ann. Besides experiencing the subtle, healing plant scents, you'll also find that color, space, textiles and textures, sound, and feeling also mean a great deal to her and are reflected in the creations of Sent et détend.
