Equinimity Bodywork
Karen offers sports massage for active athletes, as well as massages for recuperation, relaxation and to assist in rehabilitation. Each horse is fully evaluated before massage, by observation in motion and at rest. She uses various massage techniques as well as incorporating myofascial release and stretches. Karen also offers assistance with your horse’s conditioning program, and saddle assessment to help determine suitability and placement.
The Equinimity philosophy is to understand the horse as a whole, and to treat every horse with the same dedication, regardless of breed or discipline.
About Karen
Karen has had a lifelong passion for horses, but really only learned to ride as an adult. Four years ago she made a commitment to learn more about the inside of the horse. This created a heightened interest in the equine muscle system and its functions, which led to a focus on equine massage. She graduated from the Equinology massage program, one of the most acclaimed and in-depth in the world, and earned the title of Equine Body Worker®. She has also studied biomechanics with Dr. Hillary Clayton and Equine Exercise Physiology with Dr. David Marlin. She is dedicated to expanding the breadth of her knowledge through continuing education in both conditioning and massage.
