Growing up in a small town in Arizona had Naomi outdoors and learning to adventure from the beginning. She brought this mentality into her various interests, including soccer, track, skiing, canoeing, music, and reading. Her upbringing instilled in her an acute appreciation for the magnitude of life.

This underlying pursuit of intellectual and physical exploration led Naomi to St. Olaf College, a small liberal arts college in Minnesota where she studied Exercise Science. While at school, she met her husband, Dr. Kurt, who introduced her to chiropractic. Through this newfound world, she realized how much the chiropractic philosophy aligned with her own and provided insights that allowed her to become her own health advocate. This brought her to Life Chiropractic College West where she graduated Summa Cum Laude.
