MEET OUR Founder & Chief wellness Officer

Katy Tombaugh is passionate about staying inspired and evoking that in others so that everyone wins – the business, the culture and most importantly, the people. She finds joy in ideation and exploring what’s possible. This manifests in an ability to consult and lead organizations toward positive, sustainable shifts in their approach to employee health and well-being.

Her work has taken her into Fortune 500 businesses, non-profits, and schools both public and private. Katy speaks and teaches weekly to a global audience and loves every moment of it.

With a Bachelor of Science in Human Ecology from the Ohio State University, Katy’s primary areas of interest and professional development have been focused on positive psychology, motivation, behavior modification, spirituality and neuroscience related to mind/body connection. She’s also earned numerous certifications in tobacco treatment, behavior change, nutrition, fitness, yoga, and health coaching.

Katy serves in various board and committee roles and focuses much of her volunteering on fundraising to benefit innovative and inclusive educational initiatives, family fitness and feeding families at Thanksgiving. She’s also active with NAWBO (National Association of Women Business Owners) and is a past board member committed to advocating for women in business to have visibility and equal opportunities.

Outside of community and professional passions, you’ll always find Katy on the dance floor or perhaps competing in the ballroom. She’s the proud mom of two beautiful girls and six entertaining cats.
