My name is Naomi, and I’m a 50-year-old survivor, healer, and advocate for change. My journey has been one of resilience and transformation, marked by immense challenges but also incredible victories. From a young age, I endured the pain of sexual, physical, emotional, psychological, and verbal abuse. These experiences shaped my early years, but they didn’t define the woman I would become.

At 17, I faced another unimaginable ordeal when I was forced into sex trafficking. For six long years, I endured horrors I never thought I could survive. But at 23, I escaped, breaking free from the chains that bound me and taking my first steps toward a life of freedom. That escape was the start of a lifelong journey of healing and rediscovery.

Life brought its own set of challenges, including three marriages, each teaching me valuable lessons about love, resilience, and self-worth. My second husband, however, gave me my two greatest blessings—my children. They are my pride and joy, my reason to keep fighting and growing. Their love has been my anchor, reminding me that even in the darkest times, there is light.

In 2015, I achieved a dream I once thought was impossible: becoming a registered nurse. Caring for others has been more than a career—it’s been a calling, a way to give back and connect with others through compassion and empathy. Alongside this, I’ve faced my own battle with addiction, finding the strength to recover from drugs and alcohol. This hard-fought journey toward sobriety not only saved my life but also gave it a deeper purpose.

Today, I am a trauma-certified life coach, using my own experiences to guide others through their paths of healing and transformation. I believe in the power of turning pain into purpose, and my story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit.

Every scar I carry tells a story of survival, and I wear them with pride as reminders of how far I’ve come. My mission is to inspire others to reclaim their worth, find their inner strength, and create lives filled with purpose and hope. Healing is possible, and I am living proof that no matter where you’ve been, you can always rise again.
