About Me
Your Partner in Holistic Wellness
I grew up surrounded by the vibrant natural beauty of Chattanooga, Tennessee, with roots that extend to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. During my childhood, we traveled often between these two worlds, and even in Rio's bustling urban settings, I was captivated by the diversity of plants and animals that flourished everywhere. That early wonder grew into a fascination with the natural world and, over time, with the incredible design of the human body and mind.
This curiosity about how we function and heal is what led me to study biology and psychology in college. During those years, I began experiencing recurring tonsillitis. Conventional treatments offered temporary relief but did not address the root cause. As I looked more closely at my own life, I began to see that my symptoms were not simply happening to me. They were happening through me as a result of inadequate nutrition and chronic stress.
Determined to find a more sustainable solution, I turned to a holistic approach that included nourishment, botanical medicine, and mind-body practices. By addressing those underlying patterns, I broke free from the recurring cycle.
This personal transformation inspired me to pursue formal training in Naturopathy in Oregon, where I deepened my understanding of the body's capacity for healing. Today, I bring that philosophy back home to the Southeast, helping others uncover their own path to wellness.

What Clients Are Saying
I can't say enough good things about Naomi and Alma Holistic Wellness. I've never felt more heard by a practitioner, and she has really listened to my concerns and developed a detailed plan of action for me to help me feel my absolute best. My husband and I have been patients of hers since her residency days in Virginia. She has helped us so tremendously that we knew we had to virtually follow her to her own clinic.
- B.M.
I gave Alma Holistic Wellness 5 Stars because 10 Stars isn't an option. Naomi gave me some things to work into my daily schedule on my first visit and right away, the problems we were targeting improved. I continually feel better as she guides me to add additional practices. She has literally changed my life!

I live in Paris, France and did my consultation with Naomi online. Based on my blood laboratory tests, we had a very complete and detailed first consultation. Naomi explained so many things I didn't know about how my body works. I have been following my protocol for the past month and I can feel the difference. I have much more vitality, energy and I feel light and happy.
- M.Z.
Coming from the west coast, I'm used to seeing holistic and wellness practitioners. In Chattanooga it's been hard to find a good doctor that works holistically. I've been struggling with digestion issues for years. She took the time to go over all my medical history and current habits, literally everything. The appointment was super productive.

I've been working with Naomi for about two months, and I'm already seeing results from the small, simple changes she's suggested! Her approach to naturopathy is practical, personalized, and incredibly effective. If you're ready to take control of your health, Naomi is the best trail guide you could ask for.
- M.P.
The initial two hour consultation was really the first time I was able to narrate my health story to anyone in full. Her questions and responses were meaningful, intelligent and insightful. Through her suggested regime, I am definitely on a better path to health even with all the stressors in our modern day life.
- N.W.
Naomi is extremely knowledgeable and always easy to contact when I have any questions. She is professional and easy to talk to, and in a matter of only a month, my wellbeing has greatly improved with her guidance. I highly recommend Alma for anyone in the area!
