Certified Nutrition Specialist
Kara Assaley
MS, CNS, LN
My interest in health and nutrition began in high school as I became curious about food and nutrients – how they fuel us, heal us, and support us throughout life. This interest remained throughout my college years, evolving into a passion for helping others build sustainable, nourishing habits that lead to healthy, active lifestyles.
Im a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) and hold a B.S. degree in Health and Human Performance with an emphasis in Applied Health Sciences from the University of Montana. After spending over a decade working as a personal trainer and coach in the fitness industry, I decided to further my education to better support individuals through a deeper, more comprehensive approach to health and nutrition, and earned my Master of Science degree in Clinical Nutrition from Sonoran University.
Outside of my professional work, you’ll most often find me hiking or running on trails through the woods - usually accompanied by my four-legged best friend. I also enjoy lifting weights at the gym, experimenting with new recipe ideas, and diving into my latest creative project. I love creating healthy, flavorful meals to share with friends and family and believe that nutrition should be both enjoyable and practical.
