Instructor Bio:

Dr. Kelsey Bass, PT, DPT, received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from UT Southwestern Medical Center in 2012. She began her career as a pediatric therapists at Texas Children’s Hospital, where she valued the robust mentorship and recourses of a large institution. However, she identified critical need for integrated systems that support the entire family unit and offer healthcare providers a sustainable work-life balance to mitigate burnout. Driven by this vision to “do healthcare differently,” Dr. Baas founded Compleo Wellness in 2017. Compleo is a multidisciplinary clinic offering integrated services — including physical therapy, occupational therapy, lactation support, mental health, and nutrition — that serve clients across the lifespan, from infancy to adulthood.

Dr. Baas successfully grew Compleo Wellness from a single-practitioner clinic into a seven figure revenue business with over 20 clinicians. Her innovative clinic model emphasizes the flexibility necessary for providers, particular mothers, to balance a demanding career with family life. In 2025, se welcomed a partner to lead the mental health department, focusing on creating safe and supportive spaces within the Compleo model.

In her free time, she enjoys the outdoors with her husband and two sons and cheering on the Baylor Bears.
