Rachel Knowles is the founder of Herbal Wellness Collective™. With a background in clinical nutrition, a lifelong passion for herbal medicine, and years of experience as a professor, mentor, and writer, Rachel has dedicated her career to making health knowledge both trustworthy and human.
Her journey began in clinical practice and academia, but over time, she recognized that her deepest impact came through words — the books, guides, and resources that continue to teach long after a class ends or an appointment closes. That vision grew into Herbal Wellness Collective™, an independent publishing house that bridges clinical insight with accessible education.
Rachel’s work has appeared in peer-reviewed journals, at national nutrition and integrative health conferences, and in countless classrooms. Today, she channels that same rigor and compassion into publishing books for both professionals and families.
As a mother, teacher, and neurodivergent clinician, Rachel brings lived experience and honest care into everything she creates. She believes knowledge should be practical, approachable, and enduring. Through Herbal Wellness Collective™, she now helps amplify other voices in the wellness space, offering publishing guidance alongside her own works.
