Saltwater Path: Using Journaling to Help People Reset, Reflect and Reconnect

I started journaling a few years ago at a time when I felt unsure of myself; like I’d lost a bit of who I was. What started as a simple daily habit ended up completely changing my life. It helped me slow down, get clear on what mattered, and rebuild my confidence from the inside out.

That’s what inspired me to create Saltwater Path: a journaling brand rooted in the energy of the sea, the practice of daily reflection, and the belief that we can all shape a better version of our lives when we take time to listen to ourselves.

How it started: The Surf Journal

Living in Newquay I’ve always noticed the incredible energy surfers feel when they come out of the water. I wanted to bottle that moment — and so I created The Surf Journal. It’s part surf log, part mindfulness journal. A space to track your sessions, the waves, the tides, and most importantly, how you were feeling before and after. 

With your help, I want to run a series of journaling workshops and talks designed to help people discover the confidence-boosting, mindset-shifting power of putting pen to paper.

Through these sessions, we’ll help people:

• Build self-awareness and confidence
• Break unhelpful habits and create positive new ones
• Use gratitude as a springboard for change
• Learn to tune in and create the life they want — one page at a time

I’d love to take these sessions into coffee shops, wellness studios, surf shops anywhere people want to slow down and reconnect and meet likeminded people wanting the same thing. I would like to use the feedback from the journaling workshops to help create my next journal that will help people take the feeling of gratitude for what they have each day and use this as a springboard to help them envision what they can create going forward. This would be a journal for everyone to use not just surfers and water lovers but it would still carry the essence of the beach and ocean inspired artwork from our local designer. 

Saltwater Path is a female-founded, Cornwall-based, independent start-up created from the ground up — with no funding, just passion and belief. This next step is about sharing what journaling can do, not just selling a product.
