Hi there! I’m Rachel, owner of Zen Forest Portugal.

​

I was born and raised in Switzerland where I lived till 2005. After a few years of living here and there I then moved to Luxembourg, where I ran my own restaurants. After my son was born in 2015, I made the leap to beautiful Portugal where I use to come as a child with my family to spend summer holidays.

​

In 2021, I completed my yoga teacher training in the french Alps with Talia Sutra.

I started building my home where I intended to start teaching yoga, which got me thinking about sharing the magic of this place, not only through yoga. 

​

It just feels right to create a space that’s in harmony with nature. Since I’ve always loved hosting and serving others, I decided to turn those private gatherings with family and friends into a glamping experience that has a touch of wellness.

​

A chef at heart and in my craft, I express love through action. Cooking and hosting are my ways of communicating, and there’s a real passion behind everything I do—my food reflects that! I truly believe that serving people is the ultimate act of care and love.

​

Zen Forest is not just my home; it’s a welcoming space for those seeking restoration and connection

 

 

I can’t wait to meet you and share this wonderful journey together!
