Lavender
We are threads in the fabric of nature, woven with soil, water, plants, and air
Lavandula
My name is Lieke, a Dutch-born living amidst the Swedish forests. As long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by plants. While others looked to the sky, I looked to the ground: mapping what grows where, wondering why it grows there, and what it might be used for.
In my twenties, that curiosity turned into study. I immersed myself in phytotherapy and herbalism, learning about the active compounds in plants, how they work in the body, and how to extract them. But I also discovered that plants speak in ways that go beyond science. Sometimes a plant simply catches your attention. Often, that says something about what you need in that moment.
The power of Lavender
Through Ash & Elder, I create natural remedies that do the same. That invite you to look beyond the physical and find where you need support. Helping people care for their bodies in a natural, ancient, and wise way.
I work with potent, clean herbs from the wild landscapes of Sweden, harvesting and preparing them with the greatest respect.
Breathe in
Lavender has been calming minds and mending bodies for thousands of years... and it still does.
Let’s reconnect to the wisdom and strength of plants. To remind us that what we need is often closer than we think.. if we are willing to look and listen.
