  • Managing diverse groups and needs

    Pattie Belle assisted our medical start-up on several occasions, including a half-day in-person group facilitation as well as several online zoom group sessions. Her exercises and counsel provided us with an invaluable resource to focus us on the tasks before us. She did so with good humor and managed a diverse group with many different needs in a way that helped unite us and productively reach for the goals that we sought. I am thankful to Pattie Belle for her wise counsel and skillful approach. RK, CT, USA (Prosocial Vision)

  • Chaos into creativity

    With eyes, arms, and heart open wide, Pattie Belle entered my shared studio environment and proclaimed it a safe space to be creative for us all. To be vulnerable and intentional. She embraced the class of 25 in its entirety and was able to help us navigate the chaos of ideas that continuously bounce around our heads. Myself, as an artist, I am full of ideas, and with Pattie Belle‘s guidance, I was able to organize them in a way that would then allow me to see them all at one time, easily. She gave me the space to analyze each idea through thinking, visuals, and notetaking. She then gave us tools to execute these ideas with a workflow that was conducive to my style. She has given me a helpful tool that I use continuously. MH, CT, USA (Life Mapping)

  • Perspective and priorities

    I attended a Life Mapping workshop and left feeling organized, motivated, and like I had a much better perspective on my priorities. Pattie Belle is thorough, organized, and intentional in her workshop planning and facilitation. She thoughtfully guided the attendees through the 'territories' of our lives - personal + professional; mind, body, spirit; physical, and emotional. It was SO helpful to think about each of these areas individually and find my priorities and balance. I left the workshop with a new tool to use whenever I am feeling overwhelmed and in need of a pause to organize my life. This workshop absolutely applies to anyone and everyone - I highly recommend it. CM, CT, USA (Life Mapping)

  • Professional, empathetic, and thoughtful

    PB did two sessions with our group that is in the planning stages of opening a mental health wellness center. She was extremely professional, accommodating, empathetic, and productive. She asked thoughtful, introspective questions to hone us in on what we needed to address in a thoughtful way, and the material she presented was holistic and relevant. I would highly recommend her!
