YOUR HOST
Katy Oberle is a licensed psychotherapist turned Creative Mindfulness Coach and singer/songwriter. Katy is passionate about expanding the definition of mindfulness to include creative, nature-based, and embodied practices, which are especially helpful for sensitive, stressed nervous systems. She coaches clients to develop their own "brand" of mindfulness that honors their innate creativity, life circumstances, and values, and she utilizes the contemplative arts (mindful collaging, journaling, music, etc) in her work.
She is also co-founder of The Be Sanctuary, a new mindfulness-based wellness community in Upper Arlington, OH, as well as a Sr. Artist-in-Residence at Ohio Health Cancer Centers in Dublin and Delaware, providing music and sound baths to patients and their families.
Katy believes that when our wise creative spirits come out to play, healing and transformation can happen at all levels–individually, relationally, and collectively.
