Karen Katzmark, HHP

Karen Katzmark is a Holistic Health Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in therapeutic massage, bodywork, and hands-on work with horses.

Her professional work spans massage education, clinical instruction, and equine bodywork. As a full-time massage instructor within an 800-hour training program, she supports students in developing both technical skill and professional awareness.

Across these roles, her approach emphasizes skilled touch, clear observation, and respect for the nervous system—human and equine. Her work is grounded in practical experience, thoughtful pacing, and a steady, relationship-centered approach to care and learning.

Karen is a Board Certified Massage Therapist (BCTMB), a Certified Massage Therapist through the California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC), and a certified Masterson Method® Equine Specialist. Her background also includes training in equine-assisted learning and continued study in equine bodywork and complementary approaches.

Her equine bodywork practice reflects a commitment to listening first, working within appropriate scope, and supporting each horse through a calm, attentive and responsive process, guided by the horse’s responses.
