Q & A

Naomi created Cowgirl's Friend to offer a simple yet powerful skincare solution to nurture and help regenerate skin health. Drawing inspiration from the values of self-reliance, natural beauty and empowerment associated with the cowgirl lifestyle, Naomi uses nutrient-rich, high-performance ingredients to soothe and rejuvenate the skin from the inside out.

Our core values are rooted in integrity, authenticity, communication, sustainability and community connection. We actively listen to women's health concerns and respond by providing positive health resources, natural products and experiences that support women in leading healthy, inspired lives.

Naomi graduated from Formula Botanica with an Advanced Diploma in Organic Cosmetic Science.

Naomi's Yoga classes are all encompassing providing support to beginners and options for intermediate / advanced practitioners. We will practice breath work, meditation and break down the fundamentals of a Vinyasa style practice where movement is synced with the flow of breath.

For yoga class, it's best to wear comfortable clothing that allows for a full range of motion. Additionally, yoga is typically practiced barefoot to help with balance and grip on the mat. Please bring your own yoga mat, meditation pillow and a blanket to assist you in some of the poses and final relaxation. Blocks and straps will be available to borrow. You can also bring own journal and pen for notes and/or free flow, stream of consciousness writing.

For hiking, it's important to be prepared with rain gear, hiking shoes or boots and warm layers. Depending on the itinerary, our hike may range from gentle to intermediate difficulty with opportunities to deepen our connection with nature and ourselves. For trail riding, please wear a boot with a small heel, jeans and your cowgirl accessories of course ;-) Consider bringing rain gear and gloves. Safety helmets and pack bags will be provided. Additionally, bring your water bottle, bug spray, sunscreen and hats.

We have a delicious menu planned and are considering everyone's dietary needs. Please be sure to let us know of any dietary requirements or restrictions so we can plan your meals accordingly. Feel free to bring extra snacks and your drink of choice (wine, beer) if you so desire.

We are a hobby farm that provides agri-tourism experiences and a small batch maker and distributor of natural skincare products. With a small lavender garden, a flock of sheep and three horses, we offer seasonal farm experiences where visitors can learn about animal husbandry and farming. Guests can also participate in healthy, fun, and educational activities, including outdoor yoga, crafts and "make & take" workshops.
