About
Karin Yapalater
CHHC · AADP
A pioneer in integrating equine communication with somatic and mental health, Karin partners with integrative practitioners and medical professionals — pediatricians, therapists, neuropsychologists — and horses — when working with families.
She fosters profound, authentic kinship where both horses and humans can truly thrive.
Karin holds degrees from Columbia and NYU, is a Board Certified Integrative Health Counselor, and a Bodhisattva initiate under Harvard Buddhist Chaplain Khen Rinpoche Khenpo Lama Migmar Tseten. She founded The School of Contemplative Studies and has over 20 years of Natural Horsemanship mastery training under legends such as Buck Brannaman. She is the author of Awaken One, Benefit All: The School Within.
Karin creates a safe environment that feels at once grounding and transformative.
