 Welcome in…

I’m Ashley Elenbaas

An herbalist, teacher, yoga practitioner, wife, mother, and founder of Sky House Herb School & Apothecary. Most days you’ll find me tending to my garden, arranging flowers in the kitchen, creating online content, and humming Joni Mitchell among the herbs … always with a cup of tea in hand. 

Since I was a child, I’ve been enamored with the beauty and intelligence of the natural world: the supple texture of mosses, vibrant hues of petals, and intricate patterns pulsing through leaves. 

As an adult, there’s nothing I love more than sharing this magic and wonder with people, like you!

MONIQUE YOUNG

“Ashley’s teachings have changed my life drastically. I took the First-Year Herbal Apprenticeship— twice! In fact, I loved the program so much that I proceeded to take the Second-Year Clinical Practicum to become a Clinical Herbalist. Without a doubt, Ashley and Sky House have made a positive impact on me both personally and professionally.”

— MONIQUE YOUNG
