Rachel Barker

Rachel Barker is a writer, mother, and lifelong lover of the natural world. After a midlife divorce and decades of putting others first, she stepped away from city life and into the forest, where she began the quiet work of rediscovering herself. Her writing blends personal reflection with a deep reverence for life, offering honest insight into solitude, resilience, and the beauty of starting over.

She now splits her time between rural Vermont and the Pacific Northwest, where she continues to write, hike, and live close to the land.
