Staff Profiles

Gayle Knight Colman

Gayle Knight Colman brings a wealth of experience to her role as a nationally recognized innovator in the field of Integral Wealth Advisory Services. In almost 25 years as a financial advisor, registered investment advisor, and as a principal in Colman Knight Advisory Group, LLC, Gayle has helped guide hundreds of clients — and other financial planners — to realize that expert financial advice is only part of a skilled advisor’s job. Gayle advocates that the key to long term financial health is helping clients understand the interior aspects of money (family rules, beliefs, patterns) and the confusion they create, then guiding clients to new clarity and practice, integrating inner values with outer practicality. Gayle co-founded Colman Knight with her husband and partner, Richard Colman, J.D. With a unique combination of expertise and insight, Colman Knight clients are able, as Gayle says, “to realize that wealth is more than money.”

As a Certified Financial Planner (R) and Certified Conscious Relationship Coach with the Hendricks Institute founded by Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks, Ph.D., Gayle provides a unique and valuable combination of expertise for clients. She also offers Wealth Coaching for individual clients and for other financial planners who want to explore integral wealth issues in confidence and safety.
