Practitioners
At Integrated Wellness Center, we take the time to listen to what you tell us and what your body tells us, then we design a treatment plan as individual as you are.
Using a variety of adjusting techniques and massage modalities, we strive to help you feel your best and help you better understand your own innate healing abilities through self-care, exercise and nutrition. Our overarching goal is to help you rediscover your core essence. Our practitioners love working with children as well, so let IWC be your family’s source for health and wellness.

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.

Dr. Kay McGowan
Kay grew in northern NJ and received her undergraduate degree from LeMoyne College in Syracuse, NY. Following college, she relocated to Breckenridge, CO where she worked in the real estate industry. While training to become a yoga teacher and then subsequently teaching yoga, Kay became captivated with the anatomy and mechanics of the spine and how the spine can impact a person’s overall health and well-being. This led her to the Denver Metropolitan University where she took her pre-requisite courses in order to apply to chiropractic college. Kay received her Doctor of Chiropractic Degree following an intensive, 40-month, full-time resident study and clinical internship at the New York Chiropractic College in Seneca Falls, NY. This premier program places special emphasis on neuromusculoskeletal conditions and overall patient wellness. “I am grateful to have found such a special place to put down roots, and I’m very excited to be working alongside Dr. Julie and the team of wellness professionals at IWC.” Kay enjoys reading, staying up to date on the latest medical research, running (she has completed both a marathon and half-marathon), skiing, snowboarding, and all things outdoors. Look for Kay at our local beaches on her SUP (stand up paddle board), her new favorite way to explore our island. Emily Stuart, LMTEmily’s massage is strong, patient and intuitive, incorporating trigger point release, deep tissue, myofascial release, point work and reflexology in a way that best suits the individual.
After studying anatomy, physiology and biology at the University of Alaska, Anchorage, Emily received her massage training at Everest College in 2009. She also studied Reiki in Thailand (2004) and has taken continuing education classes in Qi Gong and acupressure. Emily has been using reflexology since 6th grade after learning it from one of her grandparents. In 2013, Emily began training in aquatic bodywork with Dr. Julie Rosenblatt and will receive her 200-hour WATSU certificate this year. Emily travelled extensively, yet always knew Kitsap would be home when she settled down. While working at the Coastal Café in Kingston, Emily met her husband, Brian. They have one son who is currently in 5th grade on Bainbridge. After finishing massage school, Emily and Brian operated an organic wheatgrass farm for two years while Emily built her clientele in the area. When Emily is not giving massage, she enjoys gardening, kayaking, attending concerts and yoga. Ruby Jones, LMT
Ruby studied massage therapy at Ashmead College, graduating in 2005. Ruby began her career working in resort spas, years later expanding to more clinical style massage with a rehabilitation wellness clinic. 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. My interests in improving movement patterns, paired with a love of bodywork fuels my passion for educating clients about "tuning in" to one's self and that movement is vital to whole body wellness.” Married, with three children, Ruby has lived on the Kitsap Peninsula for 15 years. When not at swim lessons for her son, or at the gym with her husband, she enjoys spending the day at the beach with the whole family or vacationing at Lake Chelan any time of the year. Silver Ayers, LE
As a receptionist working in resort spas in Alta, Utah, Silver fell in love with Eminence Organic Skin Care. Pursuing this passion, she received her basic Esthetician license in 2016 from Skinworks School of Advanced Skin Care, specializing in skin care, tinting, waxing, light peels and more. Silver attends Eminence regional trainings to expand her knowledge of products, mixology, and Hungarian facial massage techniques. Silver uses her deep knowledge of the Eminence line and active natural ingredients, choosing just the right products for each person's skin and desired results, to deliver customized services that truly address individual needs. “I am excited to share my skin care expertise with you, using both the Emi- nence line as well as the locally-developed Amossoma line that many of you have grown to love. And I look forward to addressing your skin care concerns and helping you develop a skin care routine to keep you feeling your best.” In addition to their eight fur babies — a dog, two cats, and five tarantulas —, Silver and her husband care for a ball python, an axolotl, and a Pacman frog. When she’s not helping tend to the zoo or training the pup, Silver will often be at the beach or on a trail exploring her new home in Kitsap. |
