My Approach
My name is Rachel Cook, and I am a Clinical Herbalist and a Functional Nutritionist with a passion for helping people feel their most vital. While I specialize in both women’s health and gut health, I also treat a wide range of other concerns.
My approach is rooted in compassionate care. I take the time to listen to everyone’s unique story because we are so much more than our diagnosis. I also work to educate each of my clients about how their body works so that they can become their own best healer.
Health does not have to be complicated. In my practice, I use targeted nutrition, lifestyle practices, and custom-formulated herbal medicine to help my clients overcome even the most challenging health conditions.

My story
For nearly a decade, I struggled with poor gut health and hormonal dysregulation that severely impacted my quality of life. At its worst, I was underweight and yet very bloated, depressed, and scared to eat most food. Not to mention my body’s greatest health monitoring system, my monthly cycle, was absent for nearly three years. I saw numerous GPs, GI specialists, gynecologists, and even a couple of different nutritionists, but nobody was able to offer me the help I so desperately sought.
After feeling frustrated and in many cases dismissed, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I did extensive personal research and made some major life changes. One of these changes was going to work on an organic farm in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. It was there that I was introduced to the world of herbal medicine. I was completely blown away by everything I learned from the farm’s resident herbalist, and it became clear to me that this was my life path and purpose. I wanted to study herbal medicine so that I could help those, who like me, have been failed by our traditional medical system.
I began my studies at the Colorado School of Clinical Herbalism in 2021, a time when there was a sharp rise in the use of alternative medicine worldwide. The program was 2.5 years long and during this time, my gut health improved significantly, and my cycle made a glorious return. I learned to connect dots that no other practitioners could, and it was incredibly empowering. I also was able to help my friends and family improve their health. Still, I was hungry to help more people.
I knew I wanted to start a wellness clinic but before officially launching Sunray Herbs, I decided to enroll in a Functional Nutrition program to deepen my understanding of anatomy and physiology and using food as medicine. The major takeaway from my years of study both personally and formally is that our body knows how to heal itself when we give it what it needs. Today, I am passionate about empowering my clients by giving them the tools and knowledge that they need to experience this firsthand.
