Hi! I’m Naomi

A holistic health coach, podcaster, and safer beauty advocate with a dogged determination to help you feel comfortable in your skin.

A born-and-raised Hawai’i girl, my struggles with acne began when I was just ten years old.

I spent the next thirty years taking medications that never permanently cleared my skin and ultimately, led to a host of other health problems.

Chronic use of these medications led to poor gut health and they wreaked havoc on my immune system. I battled severe IBS, SIBO, Leaky Gut Syndrome, as well as low adrenal and thyroid function (hypothyroidism).

On a daily basis, I struggled with fatigue, insomnia, a bloated belly, anxiety and depression, weight gain (even though I was running marathons and working with a personal trainer), and although medicated - cystic acne and excessively oily skin.

It was embarrassing to be a grown woman who still battled breakouts. I tried to cover it up with my clothes, hair, and heavy makeup.

If you can relate to any of this, know that you’re not alone!

It wasn't until I transitioned to a real foods diet and stopped eating added sugar, dairy, gluten, and cooking with highly processed oils that my skin finally cleared up! The acne and super oily-all-the-time complexion disappeared!

Then, as I focused on healing my gut health and rebalancing my hormones, I learned that the beauty and personal care products that I'd been using were full of harmful ingredients, making my skin (and health) worse!

When I switched to safer beauty products, my skin health improved. My complexion brightened, my scars began to fade, and I found that I didn't have to use primers and heavy makeup anymore!

In fact, now I feel confident enough to go days without putting on any makeup (and post makeup-free selfies on social media too!).

Now, through my weekly podcast, coaching programs and safer skincare solutions, I help women with acne and other skin problems learn how to clear up their skin by teaching them where diet, gut health, stress, toxins and skin connect so that they can systematically and holistically bring their body back into balance and finally feel comfortable in their skin again.
