Welcome To
YYC Wellness Therapy
✨ New: Holistic care for women & babies is here! Explore YYC Mama Wellness
YYC Wellness Therapy is a holistic practice dedicated to restoring balance and supporting whole-body wellness through every stage of life. Over time, my passion for women’s health led me to create YYC Mama Wellness, a dedicated branch of my practice offering compassionate, evidence-informed care for women and families — both in-clinic and in-home.
My mission is to support you through life’s many transitions — from fertility and pregnancy to postpartum recovery, hormonal changes, and beyond — using gentle, integrative therapies that work with your body rather than against it.
Discover how personalized, holistic care can help you move, feel, and live better.
My Approach to Healing
Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all.
My treatments are grounded in manual osteopathic therapy and supported by massage and low-level laser therapy. Each session is customized to your goals — whether you’re managing chronic pain, healing after birth, balancing hormones, or seeking deeper mind-body regulation.
I specialize in gentle, evidence-informed techniques such as craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation, myofascial release, and soft joint mobilizations to restore alignment and ease.
My care supports everything from chronic pain and TMJ dysfunction to migraines, fibromyalgia, digestive imbalance, and stress-related tension.
What Sets Me Apart
Why you’ll want me on your wellness team.
- Transparent pricing — all services and costs are listed online, with no hidden fees.
- Accessibility — shorter or mobile appointments and flexible payment plans available.
- Network — trusted referrals when your coverage or needs go beyond my scope.
- Value — specialized treatments (prenatal/postpartum, craniosacral, visceral, TMJ) are included in your appointment time — no upcharges.
- Convenience — one practitioner, multiple modalities, all coordinated under one roof.
Meet Kara Prigotzke
Owner, MOT, RMT
If you’ve been searching for a practitioner who takes your pain as seriously as you do — you’ve found the right place.
I began my journey at Mount Royal College in 2007, graduating from the Massage Therapy program. My passion for understanding pain led me to study Natural Nutrition at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition (2015) and, later, Manual Osteopathic Therapy at the Manual Osteopathic College of Canada, where I graduated with honors in 2020.
With dual designations and registrations to uphold, I continue to expand my skills to better serve my clients. My approach is multi-faceted — blending bodywork, science, and compassion to uncover the root causes of pain and restore balance from within.
Massage was the beginning, but osteopathy became the key — and integrating both is where the magic happens.
My Resume
Here’s a look at my professional journey so far
I’m always expanding my education to better support my clients and deepen my understanding of holistic health. Some of my studies — like holistic nutrition and postpartum doula training — are not active designations, but the knowledge continues to inform my approach to care, home recommendations, and postpartum support.
