Kirkland Life Chiropractic

Last week we mentioned someone who walked through our door in 2003 and never really left.

Her sister referred her to Dr. Deborah as a patient. Dr. Deborah hired her almost as fast.

Then I spent a few years giving her dating advice. Mostly some version of "he's just not that into you."

Eventually I worked out the obvious solution and asked her out myself.

Married since 2007. She worked through both pregnancies, and she has stood beside me building everything you see now.

If you've been coming here a while, you already know Sara. For 23 years a lot of you have come in to see me and stayed to talk to her.

My name's on the paperwork. Hers is on a lot of your hearts. 💙

— Dr. Jeremy

You've seen the photo from last week. The young guy under the sign around 2000, next to Dr. Ted and Dr. Deborah? That's me.

Nobody on that sidewalk knew I'd end up owning the place. Least of all me.

I got into this because of headaches. I used to get bad ones, the kind that took weeks to let go. Then I got adjusted for the first time, and mine was gone that day. It didn't come back.

That's the whole reason I do this. Not to fix people — to get them enjoying their lives again, and keep them well adjusted enough to stay there.

Thirty years at the table, athletes to newborns, have taught me one thing above all. People severely underestimate what a body can do when it's working the way it's meant to.

This week you'll meet the rest of my family. 💙

— Dr. Jeremy

Twenty-seven years, and the best part has always been you.
Thank you for trusting us with your care, and for bringing your families, your friends, and your kids through our door. It is an honor. 💙

27 years ago today.

September 19th, 1999. Two doctors, one door, and a conviction that the body already knows how to heal.
This week we told you how it got from there to here. Dr. Ted chasing Hollywood. Dr. Deborah running the practice behind the scenes while Dr. Jeremy did the heavy lifting in the rooms. And in 2025, Dr. Deborah handing him the keys.
But nobody handed over the team you see here. It was built.
Dr. Jeremy and Sara, his wife, who walked through that door in 2003 and never really left, spent years finding the right people, one at a time. Practitioners who didn't just have the skills, but believed what this place was founded on.
Dr. Jeremy Heisler, D.C. — 30 plus years of manual adjusting. Athletes to newborns. Here since the beginning, owner since 2025.
Jason Balajadia — certified flexologist. Stretching and body tempering.
Julene Page, LMP — 20+ years of clinical massage.
Brigitta Bolanos, LMP — craniosacral therapy.
Katy Tenhulzen — Reiki Master, sound therapy, Safe and Sound Protocol.
In 1999 this was three doctors and one vision. Today it's a team of specialists all working the same problem from different directions: your nervous system, and what it can do when nothing is standing in its way.
The services grew. The team grew. The ownership changed hands. The sign out front never changed, and neither did the conviction behind it.
27 years. Thank you, Kirkland. 💙 #💙 #💙

Before there was a team, there was Dr. Deborah.

In September of 1999, she and Dr. Ted opened a door with a conviction that still isn't fashionable in healthcare: the body isn't broken and doesn't need fixing. It needs its interference removed. Then it does the rest itself.

Dr. Ted eventually left to chase acting in Hollywood — Dr. Deborah stayed. And when she stepped back from the adjusting table, she didn't step away from the clinic — she took over everything else. That became the partnership that carried this place for the next two decades. Dr. Jeremy in the rooms, adjusting and doing the heavy lifting. Dr. Deborah behind all of it: the hiring, the books, the standards, the reason the front desk always felt like somebody was expecting you.

Most of you never saw that half of the work. That's how she wanted it.

Twenty-seven years later, everything in this building is downstream of those two.

In 2025 she handed Dr. Jeremy the ownership too — the same Dr. Jeremy standing beside her in that photo from 2000 — and retired somewhere with considerably better weather. As you can see, it agrees with her.

If she ever adjusted you, touched your heart in a way only she could, lent an ear when you were having a hard day — and a lot of you reading this, she did — leave it in the comments. We'll make sure she sees them.

Thank you, Dr. Deborah. 💙

This is where it started.
Dr. Ted, Dr. Deborah, and a very young Dr. Jeremy, standing under the original sign somewhere around the year 2000.
Two founders and the doctor who would eventually take it over — though nobody standing on that sidewalk knew that yet.
The building has changed. The parking lot has changed. Twenty-six years of patients have walked past that column.
What hasn’t changed is the thing they opened the doors to do: get the interference out of the way and let the body do what it already knows how to do.
27 years on Saturday. 💙

On Saturday, September 19th, Kirkland Life Chiropractic turns 27. Twenty-seven years of this door opening. Of Monday mornings at 7:45. Of people walking in carrying something heavy and walking out a little lighter.
We’re spending this week telling some of those stories —
Thank you for being part of them. 💙
