Rachel Warnok

Rachel began her herbalist studies in high school when she simultaneously took over the family garden and discovered a keen interest in essential oils. She went on to earn her Master’s Degree in Ayurvedic Herbal Medicine from Maharishi International University, graduating top of class, and specializing in the nervous system. Upon graduating, she opened her own private practice, consulted in the Oncology Department at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee, and taught continuing education classes at the University of Wisconsin-Waukesha, where most of her students were nurses. Upon moving to Boston Rachel began working for USAID, doing research in nutrition and agriculture, and from there moved into Healthcare Marketing and Communications. Her herbal practice became product-centric as she developed a wellness-based cosmetic line called Impact Botanicals. Competing on behalf of Impact Botanicals, Rachel finished in the top 3 on season 13 of the Blox entrepreneurial reality TV show, where she earned high marks for her ability to quickly develop marketing and business strategies. She is also a Reiki Master Teacher, 3rd from Takata, and has studied her crafts in both India and Japan. Rachel earned her certification in Western Herbology from the Boston School of Herbal Studies and is thrilled to join the ranks of faculty at the school. She’s known for her high energy and diverse knowledge base.
