MEET OUR TEAM EXPERTS

Karen Neary | Owner | Montecito Med Spa in Montecito, CA

Karen Neary, MSN, RN

Principal owner and force behind the newly established Montecito Med Spa, Karen Neary, MSN, RN, received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from St. Mary’s College and her Master of Science in Nursing from Western Governors University. Before the development of Montecito Med Spa, Karen practiced as a perioperative nurse for more than two decades and served as Clinical Director and Clinical Liaison for several Ambulatory Surgery Centers over the last 9 years.

Karen’s interest in aesthetics began while working with facial plastic surgeons. She gained knowledge and advanced her understanding of plastic surgery, medical aesthetics, and general surgery while working as a perioperative nurse providing pre-operative and post-operative care, as well as a circulating and scrub nurse in the operating room. She assisted in numerous plastic surgery procedures such as facelifts, blepharoplasty, neck lifts, rhinoplasty, breast augmentations, fat transfers, abdominoplasty (tummy tucks), and liposuction. Karen then developed a fundamental respect and the desire to fully understand the deeper structures of the face.

Throughout her career, Karen has attended numerous educational conferences, training, and seminars to develop her skill as an aesthetic nurse injector. This is in line with her vision to create a space where both men and women can be treated with a more personalized and specialized approach to their aesthetic needs while providing the highest quality service and delivering the safest results. She believes in the unique attributes of every person — therefore, service and care need to be curated to everyone’s distinctive needs. She realized that non-invasive procedures are as effective, if not a better alternative or a less aggressive, solution for those who want facial and body enhancements.

Karen is a member of the American Med Spa Association (AMSPA) and continues to learn and enhance her skills through continued education and immersing herself in all things aesthetic-related. Her leadership background, clinical knowledge, and passion are the perfect combination for the creation and mission of Montecito Med Spa.

Kaliyan Bryant, MSN, FNP-C, BCFMP

Kaliyan is a double board-certified nurse practitioner (NP). She has spent the last 18 years dedicated to the nursing field and has significant experience caring for patients across the lifespan. A native of Massachusetts, Kaliyan eventually found her way to the Golden Coast in 2010. In 2014, Kaliyan was hired as part of the preoperative and post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) team for a surgery center in Santa Barbara. Fun fact: this was the start of Kaliyan and Karen’s professional relationship and personal friendship, as Karen was her Director of Nursing.

Eventually, after having children, Kaliyan left the surgery center and worked as a perioperative nurse at a hospital closer to her home. The commitment to the hospital schedule soon conflicted with her home life, and she decided it was time for a change. Kaliyan shifted her focus from acute care and learned about aesthetic medicine. After her first day as an aesthetics nurse, she was hooked.

As her passion and skills in aesthetics grew, Kaliyan found her curiosity for functional medicine also grew. She is now a board-certified Functional Health practitioner through the American Association of Natural Wellness Practitioners. Kaliyan feels grateful to be able to work with her longtime friend and practice her passion for both aesthetics and functional medicine at Montecito Med Spa.

In her free time, Kaliyan enjoys spending time with her husband, Matt, and their three sons, Maddox, Jax, and Leo. They love to take advantage of the Southern California weather and frequently go camping, enjoy nature, play sports, or do anything else that requires them to be outdoors.
