About
Brandis Gunderson, MPT, PYT, Chopra Certified Health Instructor
Hi! I'm Brandis!
I'm passionate about helping you Be Strong. Be Balanced. Be You. because no two people were created alike.
Helping others be successful in a PhysioYoga Wellness practice that helps them feel less pain, more flexible, stronger emotionally and physically, have more energy, and get to do the things they love lights me up. It's my mission to help that happen with every person I work with.
I began practicing as a Physical Therapist 17 years ago and always felt that something was missing in the traditional healthcare model. After training as a Professional Yoga Therapist and relieving my own chronic pain I knew I had found the missing link. My whole practice changed, both personally and professionally. I started to see more improvement and changes in myself and those I worked with. Addressing a person as a whole verses only treating their diagnosis helped clients get back to the life they loved instead of feeling broken and that they needed to be fixed. No one is broken or needs to be fixed. Instead, its about tapping into each persons innate strength in their bodies to allow for healing and recovery. We do this through PhysioYoga Therapy and the use of Ayurveda.
Kate LaSpina, PTA, Iyengar Instructor
Hi! I'm Kate!
I’ve been a PTA since 2013, with Clinical experience in both Inpatient and Outpatient PT. I love to be a guide during the Rehab process through functional movement re-patterning and therapeutic exercise. I am also a Certified Iyengar Instructor and teach at a variety of yoga studios and gyms in Bellingham, since 2009. I love to bridge traditional PT therapeutics with the science and art of Yoga. The combination of the two provides patients with accelerated learning and healing and body mindfulness.
Outside of being a PTA, I adore outdoor adventuring via Chuckanut Mountain hikes at least 3x a week, wild-crafting medicinal herbs and foods, and tending to her garden, farm animals, and 5 acre property with my husband Jeff and our daughter out in the county of Bellingham.
