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.

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!

Matthew
My name is Matt, and I am a rehab technician here at Action Wellness. I am an undergraduate student at Illinois State University, and I plan on going into chiropractic school once I finish up my last year here. I got into the world of chiropractic through my mom, who after 20 surgeries only started seeing improvements in her quality of life through chiropractic care.
