Welcome to Just Breathe Designs & Books
Where creativity meets calm — and every page is an act of self-care.
Just Breathe Designs & Books was born from a simple but powerful belief: that creativity heals, beauty restores, and the act of making something — whether it's a coloured page, a written word, or a quiet moment claimed for yourself — matters deeply.
Here you'll find a growing collection of colouring books, poetry, memoir, cooking, and mystery, each one created with intention and heart. From enchanted fairy forests and cozy cottage corners to the untamed beauty of the natural world, our colouring books are designed to be your escape — your permission slip to slow down, breathe, and simply be.
Our books aren't just something to look at. They're something to feel.
Whether you're drawn to the whimsy of fairytales, the romance of florals, the magic of the ocean, or the quiet comfort of a cozy afternoon, there's a page here waiting for you. And if you're ready for something that goes a little deeper — our poetry collection and memoir will meet you there too, with honesty, warmth, and words that don't look away. Or are you like us, and want to be the sleuth that figures out who the "bad guy" is?
Every title is created by Andréa Marie Baillie — writer, spa owner, dreamer, and firm believer that taking care of yourself starts from the inside out.
So take a breath. Look around. Something here was made for you.

Meet Andrea ~
I've been writing since I was a little girl. Stories, mostly — dozens of them, tucked away in notebooks, living in my imagination, waiting for their moment.
That moment took a while to come. Life had other plans first — careers that pushed me across the country, relationships that shaped and sometimes broke me, and eventually, the decision to build something of my own. Something rooted. Something mine.
I'm Andréa Marie Baillie — writer, creator, and owner of Lotus & Lavender Day Spa in Kingston, Ontario. I believe in making people feel good from the inside out, and everything I create — whether it's a colouring book, a poem, or a memoir — comes from that same place.
Just Breathe Designs & Books grew out of a need I didn't even fully understand at first. A need to create. To process. To put something beautiful into the world that might help someone else feel a little less alone, a little more seen, a little more like themselves.
My memoir, Grace and Grit, is the most honest thing I've ever written. It's the story of losing myself and finding my way back — through grit, through grace, and through the love of people who believed in me when I couldn't quite believe in myself. Writing it changed me.
The colouring books came from a different part of me — the part that loves quiet afternoons, soft colours, and the simple joy of making something beautiful with your hands. Each one is designed to be an escape, a breath, a moment that belongs entirely to you.
I live in Kingston with my husband Richard, our four cats, (our adults children) and more books than I will ever admit to owning. I laugh loudly, sing whenever I can, and I still believe — deeply, stubbornly — in the power of a good story.
Thank you for being here. It means more than you know.
