About Naomi
I didn’t set out to become a bestselling author, international speaker, or entrepreneur.
I was thrown a massive curveball—a cancer battle that stripped me back to being just another number in a hospital bed. I remember lying there, wondering if I’d even be able to speak again. I wasn’t thinking about reinvention or success. I was just trying to hang on—for my family, for some sense of myself.
But in the silence, something shifted.
When the specialists gave up, I didn’t. I taught myself to speak again, sip by sip, word by whispered word. I started to see that everything I’d been through—losing my voice, rebuilding from nothing—wasn’t the end of my story. It was the start of a new one.
And I wasn’t done writing it.
At the same time, I was navigating years of unexplained health issues with one of my daughters. After 5 long years, it was me—not the doctors—who figured out she was reacting to food and chemical intolerances. I spent more than a decade running on empty, barely sleeping, trying to stay afloat through years of school bullying that left her shattered. I pulled her out in Year 11 and home-schooled her through the HSC. I’ve since done the same for my youngest.
Both girls are now thriving at university—confident, grounded, and carving their own paths.
So no, this isn’t a polished highlight reel. This is what it really looks like to rebuild from the ground up. Quietly. Fiercely. On your own terms.
When I finally found my footing, I wrote my book—Start Living – From Frazzled to Fabulous!—as a way to help others find theirs too. I still take on the occasional speaking engagement each year when I know my story will meet the right audience. And everything I’ve created here—from reflection guides to simple wellness tools—is about helping you come back to yourself, gently and powerfully.
Because life isn’t meant to be spun through on autopilot. It’s meant to be lived. Fully. Intentionally.
I hope that everything I’ve created in this Start Living world helps you—like it helped me—to stop spinning through your life… and Start Living.

KEYNOTE TOPICS
Naomi Dyer’s world changed in an instant.
A singer who could no longer sing. More importantly, she could no longer speak, eat, or even drink.
After a cancer operation went wrong, Naomi was left with paralysed vocal cords. She spent time in ICU, then began the slow, gruelling process of relearning the basics of survival—starting with sipping water from a teaspoon and whispering.
And then, the therapists told her there was nothing more they could do.
But Naomi wasn’t willing to whisper through life.
From teaching herself to speak again when others gave up, to becoming a bestselling author and international speaker, Naomi’s story will inspire your audience to rise, rebuild, and thrive.
