Clearer thinking through writing.

Discover the thoughts you didn’t know were there.

A Structured Journaling Method for Inner Clarity.

Grounded in the relationship between writing and thinking.

Hi, I’m Lori Rosove, creator of Trees & Breathe. With a background in Applied Language Studies, 30 years of social work practice, and a decade of teaching writing, I developed this journaling method to help people gain clarity through a simple writing process.

If traditional journaling hasn’t helped you move forward, you’re not alone. The Trees & Breathe journaling method offers a more guided approach with structured writing prompts and carefully chosen language tools to help uncover thoughts that may be keeping you stuck.

The Trees & Breathe Guided Journaling Method

A calm, structured writing process designed to gain insight and clarity.

The Journaling Method - Core Pillars

Writing Strategies

I use writing strategies grounded in Psychological Science and Linguistic Tools to promote mental clarity. Some of these strategies include expressive writing and freewriting. Often considered medicine for the mind and body, writing can:

  • enhance emotional stability

  • reduce stress levels

  • improve the immune system

  • elevate problem-solving

  • increase clarity

Mindfulness Techniques

I integrate mindfulness techniques with writing strategies to help create a calm and safe writing space for you. The benefits of paying attention to your sensations, feelings, and thoughts in the here and now may include:

  • lowering stress

  • Improving memory

  • strengthening relationships

  • increasing calm

  • increased focus

Nature Prompts

I bring nature to your writing space for a sense of peace and perspective. Scientific research supports that visual contact with nature may improve people’s well-being. And bird song may have a positive impact on mental health. Benefits may include:

  • reduced stress

  • improved mood

  • enhanced calm

  • opened mind

  • lowered blood pressure

Writing Reveals What Thinking Alone Cannot.‍ ‍Most people are carrying more thoughts than they realize. When those thoughts are given structure through writing, clarity begins to emerge - often in unexpected ways.

My journaling method is rooted in structured writing strategies, supported by nature and mindfulness. Together this process helps you:

  • reveal thoughts you didn’t know you were holding.

  • create space for clarity to surface.

  • reduce mental clutter to support clearer decisions.

I want to share it with you as a powerful path to clarity.

No experience required.

I believe change happens only when you do something different.

Whether we write together in a group or 1-to-1, the Trees & Breathe method of guided journaling moves you forward with a deeper sense of self-understanding.

What About You?

  • The Trees & Breathe guided journaling method uses structured writing strategies, mindfulness tools, and nature prompts to help you feel centred. It’s a private space to slow down and clear your mind.

  • The Trees & Breathe guided journaling method helps you discover what is REALLY making you feel unbalanced and how to move toward a more peaceful state of mind.

  • It’s hard to choose a path when you’re overwhelmed by mental clutter. By uncovering deep thoughts, you will "see" the options clearly, allowing you to make decisions with confidence and clarity.

  • Change often feels daunting because we look at the whole mountain at once. My sessions help you break through the "I don't know" phase by uncovering the very first small, meaningful step you can take today.

  • Accountability is easier when you aren't doing it alone. Think of these sessions as “journaling with a coach.” I provide the structure and the prompts, while your hand and pen take care of the rest.
