Rachel was born and raised in southern Virginia. Her passion for baking began with an easy baked oven and she never looked back. She spent hours in the kitchen baking through high school and college perfecting more complex recipes.

Rachel attended the University of Virginia and then earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy from the University of St. Augustine in Florida. Upon returning home to Virginia, she met her husband and began a family. They moved to the beautiful Shenandoah Valley in 2023 to be closer to family and the mountains.

In addition to her passion for baking, Rachel works as a pelvic health PT and is passionate about helping women through all stages of life. She shares her busy life with her paramedic/firefighter husband, three silly daughters, two dogs, and a couple dozen laying hens who’s eggs supply the bakery.
