Katie Gamby

Board Chair

Hi, I’m Katie. Answering the question “who are you?” is always so hard for me. In light of how we identify ourselves at Lark's Song (and with my husband, who is also a coach's help ;)... I am a reflecting pool of curious intention, I'm buckets of laughter, I am the smell of rain, I am spontaneous creativity, I'm refreshing vitality.I hold degrees in psychology, leadership, and addictions counseling, and I've trained, taught, spoken, and written about well-being, leadership, and human development. Lark's Song was born out of my deep belief that healing and transformation are accelerated in brave, compassionate, reciprocal, diverse communities - and I'm incredibly proud of the culture we've cultivated here.

I am the board chair at Lark's Song and I am a healer. How this looks in my work is - I am a licensed professional clinical counselor in the state of Ohio, I am a professional coach, I am a yoga instructor, I am a guided meditation practitioner, and I am a wellness researcher and professor.

I believe in individual and community wellness and bringing practitioners of healing together to create a symphony of healing to any individual or community who wants to be well.

Lark's Song in many ways gave me freedom and language to identify who I am and loved me at a time in my life where I was coming out of a really heavy season. She restored my hope in humanity and nurtured my soul back to life. I am an entrepreneur and started my counseling private practice 10 years ago.

I know that without coaching, I would probably still have started this business, but my mission and vision and clarity around my "why" and sticking to my values as a business owner would not be as clear or vibrant without coaching. I also dream MUCH MUCH bigger and go after bigger things when I am getting coached. I am starting to put self-led retreat packages together for friends and family and it is bringing me SUCH LIFE. I started leading retreats about 10 years ago and came up with the idea of self-led retreats because I felt like I needed one myself. I asked a coaching friend to create one for me and gave her the ideas on what I wanted her to incorporate.

This idea led me to thinking, "this is actually what I want to be doing." I want to help people who aren't able to afford to go away for retreats or to take a pause, be able to do so from home or curate a retreat that will serve them specifically in whatever season they are in.
