Hi! I am Rachel. The face behind Zen Forest Portugal.
I was born and raised in Switzerland.
​
Portugal’s been the place I call home for the past 9 years.
​
As I was designing and building my ideal home to raise my child and work in a natural environment, where all the spaces had to be in constant touch and in harmony with nature, the idea to ‘’open’’ my house to the public came very naturally as I started my yoga teacher journey in 2021 - at the same time as my house project. It all just made sense.
​
I wanted to build a safe space, in nature, a home, a community...
​
A Chef in my heart and craft, I show love through action. Cooking and hosting are my way of communication. There is passion in what I do. And that’s what my food shows. I believe that serving people is the ultimate act of care/love.
​
Now not only home to my family, but home to receive in the premises of Zen Forest people looking for restoration and connection.
​
I can’t wait to meet you!!
