NAOMI KEANE is a trailblazer in Airdrie’s business community.
As the founder of two ventures — Oranj Fitness and O Esthetics — Keane has demonstrated unparalleled resilience, creativity and an unwavering commitment to her community.
Though she sold Oranj Fitness during the COVID-19 pandemic, Keane’s legacy continues.
“I’ve been in the fitness industry for over 20 years, and my dream was to create a community-focused space promoting health and wellness,” she says.
“I believe in creating opportunities — not just for myself, but for my team, my community and other women in business. It’s about building something that lasts and makes a difference.”
While COVID-19 forced a pivot, it also spurred new opportunities. Keane went back to school to earn her medical esthetician certification. She then founded O Esthetics, a full-service medical spa offering everything from laser hair removal to advanced skincare treatments.
Kean is a co-founder of Sisters of Airdrie, a women-in-business networking group born out of a desire to create connections and give back. The group now boasts 18 members and regularly organizes events that benefit the community.
“Naomi is a true role model to girls and women alike with her commitment to excellence as well as her hard work all while keeping a smile and positive outlook.” says nominator Marissa Martin.
In the future, Keane envisions growth for O Esthetics and dreams of opening a Pilates studio in Airdrie.
