Karina, a Washington native, grew up enjoying hiking, gardening, and all things in the outdoors of the beautiful Pacific Northwest. From a young age, Karina loved preparing creative and nutritious meals for friends and family and takes pride in creating meals to meet food sensitivities. This passion is part of what sparked her desire to help others with their health journey through nutrition.

While choosing the path she wanted to make for herself, she made stops in photography and women’s studies before finding her passion in nutrition sciences. As she worked her way through school, she gained over 20 years of customer service experience, a growing knowledge of the power of supplements, and through her externship at Bastyr University, a love of supporting her community. At Bastyr she gained essential knowledge in culinary arts, sports nutrition, and developed a deep love for research and the body’s amazing ability to heal itself from the inside out through nutrition.
