Untold Stories Expressive Storytelling Studio

WELCOME TO THE UNTOLD STORIES STUDIO

We know what it feels like to lose yourself. Between growing your career, caring for loved ones, and navigating life's transitions, you became closed off and depleted, feeling like an imposter in your own life.

We provide in-person retreats, group workshops and online courses that revive, restore, and reinvent you.

At the Untold Stories Studio, we guide you back to the you that already has the answers to life's transitions. We show you how to refuel yourself, to reaffirm who you are, and reopen yourself to all of life's possibilities.

Let us guide you on your journey to rediscover you.

From Our Clients.

What better way to learn and practice mental and emotional well-being than by taking a workshop? Yes, you could read a book or listen to a podcast, but it's not the same as sitting with other people in the same room and discovering that you are not doing this alone.

I did the mountain meditation with Patlee. At the end of the session, I had the strength to take me through the day. I felt stronger and taller like a 'mountain'. I was able to focus on what was important and not have small problems wear me down. Thank you Patlee!!

The journaling workshop was fantastic… you get a free membership to the community as part of the workshop fee… the [community exercises] helped me make the adjustments that I need in my life, and I so appreciate them. I recommend taking a look at the services Patlee offers because they have been so helpful to me.

I really appreciate the sense of calm that I feel about heading into a difficult situation in a couple of days. The Calm Community Circle that Patlee facilitated showed me how to experience the negative but know that I can change the focus to a positive one.

I love the Mindful Lunch session I attended! It included some nice bite-sized bits of information that supported my overall well-being. There is great value in joining these!

I love connecting through narrative; these studio sessions help make my journaling work more interesting, meaningful, and insightful. I've reached a more profound ability to pin down peripheral thoughts into something enlightening and meaningful. The open discussions and different perspectives have pushed my thoughts and understandings in new directions. It's exciting, and I feel connected in new and gratifying ways.

I enjoyed the Mindfulness and Conflict Transformation Workshop. The grounding technique was beneficial. The students can use it in their studies and workplaces to reduce stress and help ground themselves in the present moment before or during a difficult conversation or presentation. I could see that they left the workshop reflecting on what was discussed. I am grateful to Dr. Creary for sharing this knowledge and practice with us.

I now have a better understanding of the power of self-awareness. Having taken the time to come here early in the morning for this workshop and hearing Dr. Creary start the session with “take a moment to realize that you are here, and you should feel good that you took this step” was such a great start to my day. Learning how to ground myself before I make a stressful decision has had a positive impact on me.
