Our First Cup … there’s a latte going on!

I’m super busy being a dentist, wife, and mommy these days! My kids (Dr. Naylor has a daughter who is 7 and a son who will be 5 this month) are involved in so many activities right now and our life pretty much revolves around them. They both take piano lessons, do gymnastics, and participate in a workout club called Eyes Up at least one day a week. My daughter also dances for Studio 73 and my son plays T-ball. We are always on the go! And at work, we’ve begun partnering with Vivos to offer our patients the only FDA-approved appliance to treat mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. We are so excited to continue learning and to be able to offer such life-changing technology to our patients.

This Is How We Brew It.

Keeping a routine helps keep peace in my life. I love to cook healthy, fun meals for the family, and most recently I’ve found some recipes that are on repeat at our house, such as chicken tacos, feta turkey burgers, and chicken veggie soup. And when it comes to routine, I have to give a shout out to Burn Boot Camp Lake Norman. My days would not be the same without getting started there bright and early each morning with the bestever workouts. "I am constantly looking for ways to bring a smile to all of our patients. Personally, it’s my family, especially when we’re able to travel and explore together."

We’re The Perfect Blend.

Hands down, the number one thing that keeps me grounded is my family. Watching my children grow is seriously the greatest joy of my life, and my husband is my rock. He is always there for me, feeding me with positive energy through the ups and downs of life. I feel blessed to be able to still have my career while being able to be with my children and family as much as possible. I am always trying to be more present at home and to always lead by example both at work and at home.

You Mocha Me Smile.

Professionally, making someone who hasn’t smiled in years smile always brings joy to my heart! Because of that, I am constantly looking for ways to bring a smile to all of our patients. Personally, it’s my family, especially when we’re able to travel and explore together. Traveling with the kids has gotten a little easier so I’m really looking forward to all our fun adventures ahead. w

Physical Therapy Physical Therapy

Physical therapists work with children to treat injuries, or disorders that affect their musculoskeletal function and development and determine specific goals for therapy. Individualized exercise and manual therapies are used to achieve those goals. Speech-language pathologists treat conditions and disorders that affect speech, communication, feeding, and swallowing. They help children with communication delays through development of oral motor skills and language comprehension. Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA Therapy, is designed to help children on the Autism spectrum increase social behaviors and decrease challenging behaviors and barriers to learning.
