Ashley Marie Elenbaas

Ashley Elenbaas began her journey with plants as a young girl. Her love of the natural world led her to study Environmental Restoration in the Appalachian mountains of UNC-Asheville where she worked on organic farms and started taking herb classes with local herbalists in her early 20's. After traveling to Central America and working on permaculture farms and studying herbal farming, Ashley began her formal clinical herbal studies at Maryland University of Integrative Health in 2005, where she graduated with a Masters of Science in Clinical Herbal Medicine. For over 15 years Ashley has worked as a clinical herbalist seeing clients and teaching herbal courses online and in-person. Ashley blends herbalism, eco-spirituality, science, and ritual into her clinical work. Ashley is currently taking a sabbatical from seeing clients and now offers weekly content on her YouTube channel, leads herb walks, hosts women's circles, and enjoys teaching kids about the power of herbal medicines in local Minneapolis schools.
