Dr. Julie Rosenblatt loves what she does. Julie has a true gift as a healer and has been called by patients "a back whisperer." She has a keen intuitive sense of exactly what your body needs and is trying to tell you. Over her decades of practice, she has developed her own unique style of practice. She enjoys working with patients of all ages, from newborns to seniors.
Julie has been practicing on Bainbridge Island since 1994 and prior to that in Seattle. She was also a massage therapist in California and brings that work into her practice. Julie has studied a variety of techniques to ensure she can treat each patient just as they need. Those techniques include: Network Spinal Analysis, BGI, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Pediatric Chiropractic, Acupressure Therapy, Touch for Health and Low Level Laser Therapy. Julie graduated from Western States Chiropractic College in 1989 and has been in practice ever since. She is married to David Kotz and they have two incredible daughters. When not at work she can be found with her family, in her garden, dancing, doing yoga or hanging out with her goats. "Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live." – Jim Rohn |

Dr. Neel Chheda
Dr. Neel Chheda is a distinguished graduate from the University of Michigan and the prestigious Andrew Taylor Still School of Osteopathic Medicine. He works closely with patients and explores strategies and techniques to increase lifespan, healthspan, and well-being through the optimization of cognitive, physical, and emotional health. As an osteopathic physician trained in manual therapy, he focuses on neuromusculoskeletal medicine and utilizes the principles of functional medicine to help patients achieve their full wellness potential.
What makes Dr. Chheda’s practice of medicine unique is the way that he helps patients access their Inner Healing Intelligence by using manual therapy to rectify dysfunctions manifesting in the physical body, deep listening and coaching to encourage the psyche, and medications, both natural and/or pharmaceutical, to assist the physiology giving patients a “head start” in their journey towards wellness. Dr. Chheda understands that pharmaceutical medications are not the answer to the body's dysfunctions, but can often be profoundly effective as a short term adjunctive therapy to help individuals achieve their goals. His manual therapy practice utilizes powerful techniques like craniosacral therapy, muscle energy, counter-strain, myofascial release, and various direct and indirect mobilizations including high velocity- low amplitude adjustments. As a physician licensed to prescribe medications, he often works with patients to develop protocols to de-prescribe their medications through nutrition and lifestyle modifications. This is especially effective at reversing type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and fatty liver disease. Dr. Chheda can also serve as a consultant to determine whether hormone replacement therapy can and should be utilized to help patients overcome a multitude of endocrine and metabolic-related disorders. While Dr. Chheda is not treating patients, his favorite things to do are spending time with his partner and dog, riding his hydrofoil out into the Puget Sound, cooking delicious meals for his family, mushroom and truffle hunting, and exploring the natural wonders of Washington.

She is dedicated to continuing her learning and empowering her patients with the skills and knowledge to improve their health. She was inspired to join the IWC team for the great community and integrative practice style. She is also looking forward to new adventures and exploring the natural beauty around Bainbridge Island.

She practices myofascial release, trigger point therapy, positional release technique, as well as other manual techniques to release connective tissue and improve mobility. “I enjoy using a combination of different strategies to help my clients lighten the body and mind.
