Hi there! 👋🏼

My name is Rachael, and I am the founder of Slow Living Scotland. I live in the beautiful Deeside area of Aberdeenshire with my children, two dogs, and two cats.

Becoming a mum in my late teens meant that building a career hasn’t always been easy. However, I have always loved organising events, and alongside my deep interest in the outdoors and slow living, I felt inspired to bring these passions together and create a space to share their benefits with others.

Some of my greatest passions are nature, travel, and psychology. Over the years, I have read countless books exploring how different cultures cope with the stresses of everyday life and embrace a slower, more intentional way of living. These lessons encouraged me to slow down, appreciate simplicity, and notice the beauty in each season. I love living seasonally, and this rhythm is reflected in all the events and experiences I create.

Through Slow Living Scotland, I hope to share what I have learned and help others reconnect with themselves and the present moment. As I continue to grow personally, I invite you to grow alongside me.

As I run my events, website, and social media in my spare time, I can sometimes be a little quiet — but everything you see is created with great care, intention, and heart.

My hope is that you, too, can find a sense of calm, reconnect with what matters most, and begin to live in the moment, for the moment. 🌿
