Clinical Director
Jess Bruin D.C.
Dr. Jess Bruin is a second-generation chiropractor. Being raised in the practice she has been exposed to and then treated a wide variety of patients and conditions from babies to the elderly.
She’s resolved everything from headaches to heartburn, digestion to fatigue, earaches to breech babies, and nearly everything in between. She adapts both her technique and the amount of force used per the individual patient’s needs (i.e. newborn baby versus UFC fighter).
Dr. Jess has always had a passion for travel and exploring new cultures, as such she has traveled the world working as a chiropractor. Amongst her highlights are Bermuda, working in a pediatric and sports injury practice within a multidisciplinary group, and the Netherlands, where she met her husband Tom.
Dr. Jess looks forward to sharing her experiences gained in working with many other doctors and patients from around the world with her local hometown community of Bloomington-Normal.
Dr. Jess has been named 2018 Pantagraph Readers’ Choice Best Doctor in Bloomington Normal, and Eastland Chiropractic and Lifestyle Center has been named the Best Chiropractor. This is our sixth year receiving this recognition.

Office Coordinator
Kristy Eggers
I have a very big love for animals! We usually have 10 or more animals in our household, aka the Zoo. I retired as a hairstylist after 20 years, after I discovered the Chiropractic field! Once I saw the amazing results patients and myself get from chiropractic care, I hung up my shears!
I have finally began the health and wellness path I was searching for, for many years. Both with my own health, as well as a wonderful career in this field! I have been married for over 20 years to my high school sweetheart, Troy and we have 2 beautiful daughters, Sierra & Chloe. I homeschool Chloe, and we just love it! I love getting to greet our patients and assist in getting your care all lined up, working at our Front Desk area.

Scheduling Ninja
Kelley
Hey there! I'm Kelley, just a passionate caregiver, and I'm all about providing excellent care to my patients and my family. I've been on this journey for about many years now, soaking up experiences like raising my 4 children, being able to take amazing family vacations to New York, Tampa, Branson and Lake of the Ozarks, and having the opportunity to work in a great field with amazing coworkers and patients.
You'll often find me soaking up the sun on some lazy river or just out in my yard. Whether it's a family trip to the river or beach, gardening, or just relaxing and reading a book, I'm all in! When I'm not busy being a caregiver you can catch me watering my flowers, reading a good romance or sci-fi novel, or just sitting on the couch watching a movie. Yep, I'm all about that balance!
Clinical Assistant
Sierra
Hello! I'm Sierra. I have been a scribe at Action Wellness since 2021, with a keen eye for detail and a passion for healthcare, I am committed to delivering optimal patient care. In my role as a scribe, I document patient encounters, ensuring accurate and comprehensive medical records.
Prior to being a team member at Action Wellness I was a patient myself! I had a great opportunity to expand my knowledge in the chiropractic world. Being a scribe has opened new connections with patients that I wouldn't change for the world.
Outside of the office you can find me at home with my Pitbull Indigo, going to a local thrift store, finding a new crystal shop, or sketching drawings for new tattoos; 21 and counting!
