When Naomi isn’t in the clinic, with a sports team, coaching online, educating herself or leading a wellness retreat, she is a dedicated only parent of two energetic boys, and strives to balance her life as an inspiring working mother with family, friends and FUN. She has and continues to lead a very outgoing and active lifestyle: competing on a soccer field, hiking in nature, weight training, running outdoors, enjoying concerts, bike riding, skiing, boating, travel, and wineries.
