Naomi began teaching yoga in 2010 and is passionate about making yoga accessible, inclusive, and adaptable to a wide range of bodies and abilities. Her teaching emphasizes foundational practices, body awareness, and the freedom to explore movement at an individual pace. She incorporates props, chair yoga, and wall-supported practices to help students find what works for their bodies. As a trauma-informed yoga teacher, Naomi prioritizes choice, autonomy, and personal boundaries, creating space for students to develop a deeper sense of trust and connection with their bodies.

Naomi became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 2022 after earning her Master of Social Work from the University of Central Florida in 2019. She has worked in the social work field since 2017, with a focus on supporting individuals with experiences of trauma.

Naomi is committed to creating a therapeutic space that is affirming, collaborative, and respectful of each person’s autonomy and lived experience. She welcomes clients of all backgrounds and strives to provide culturally responsive, trauma-informed care, with particular attention to creating an inclusive environment for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC clients.

Across her work as a therapist, massage therapist, and yoga teacher, Naomi believes that people are experts in their own bodies and experiences. Her role is not to tell people what they should feel or do, but to offer knowledge, support, and tools that help them make informed choices and build a stronger relationship with themselves.
