Meet the Team

Hello!! I am Bella Steimer, I was born and raised as a military kid. I have lived in 7 states, but am primarily from California, where I lived for 8 years till I graduated high school and then moved to Iowa! When I am not working, I am listening to music, dancing, hiking, singing in the car, or doing yoga! I have 3 cats(Nova, Fred, and Tulip) and a few chickens! I have always been interested in holistic wellness, which drew me to working at Waukee Wellness and Chiropractic! I’ve enjoyed my time with the team and am so excited to meet all the new faces to come!!

Hi, I’m Jaden Johnson—a recent graduate of Iowa State University, where I earned my degree in Marketing. Over the past few years, I’ve discovered a real passion for strategic communication, branding, and building strong connections with others. I’m especially drawn to the creative side of marketing and how it can be used to tell a story, solve problems, and bring people together.

Alongside my marketing journey, I’ve really enjoyed being part of this chiropractic team. It’s been such a positive environment, and I’ve loved getting to know the patients, learning more every day, and working with such an amazing group of people.

Now, I’m excited to dive into new opportunities, continue growing, and collaborate with others who are just as passionate about what they do.

When I’m not focused on work, you can usually find me outside enjoying nature or spending quality time with family and friends.

Hi there! I’m Cassie Brooks, and I’m so happy to be back at Waukee Wellness and Chiropractic — it truly feels like coming home. I spent over seven years here in the past, and I couldn’t stay away for long. My passion for helping people and being part of this amazing community brought me right back to Dallas County’s favorite chiropractic office!

I can’t wait to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new ones — I’m looking forward to the conversations, the laughs, and the chance to support your wellness journey.  Since I was last here, life has been full — I’m now married, a proud mom of two wonderful boys, and we share our home with two big, lovable dogs. Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, soaking up the sun whenever I can, and never turning down a good card game.

Hey there, I’m Abbey Harris, originally from Redfield, IA. When I’m not in the office, you can find me soaking up the sun by the water with my fur baby, Lola, or making memories with my family and friends. I believe in living life to the fullest and spreading positivity wherever I go. I’ve always had a passion for helping others, which led me to pursue a healthcare career. My journey took an exciting turn when I discovered the world of chiropractic care. With its focus on holistic wellness and patient-centered approach, I knew it was the perfect fit for me. Now, as a chiropractic assistant at Waukee Wellness & Chiropractic, I’m dedicated to building lasting relationships with our patients.

I am married to Dr. Wes and Waukee Wellness is definitely a family business! While you might occasionally see me in the office with our boys getting adjusted (or decorating for a holiday!), I spend time working on social media and education for our patients. I work primarily as a labor doula, postpartum doula, childbirth/new parent educator, and doula trainer through my personal business, The Iowa Baby Lady. If you are a pregnant patient in our office, be sure to let Dr. Wes know if we can be of any help. I love talking to patients about their birth options in Des Moines and staying comfortable during pregnancy and birth!

Originally from Cedar Rapids, I moved to the Des Moines area in 2013 after graduating from the University of Iowa with a master’s degree in social work. My personal passion for health and wellness led me into the field of medical social work where I have spent the majority of my career. I work as an integrative mental health provider committed to helping people achieve whole body wellness. My work focuses on identifying, treating, and resolving barriers and symptoms that interfere with a person’s ability to reach full mental and physical potential. I believe in taking a holistic and collaborative approach to helping clients.

Hi, my name is Hollie Midtlyng and I am sole owner and operator of Healing Hearts with Hollie. I am a Licensed Massage Therapist, level II Reiki Practitioner, and postpartum doula. I studied massage at LeJames International in 2010 graduating with the required 600 hrs needed to become licensed here in Iowa. I am a member of the AMTA and continue to learn through a variety of continuing education classes. I have also studied at the School of Metaphysics and completed their first cycle of lessons in mastering consciousness in 2019. I have been practicing Reiki since 2020 and became a postpartum doula in 2022 through CAPPA. Massage is the first profession that I remember having an interest in, and it truly makes me happy to help others feel relaxed and balanced. Reiki adds energy work to the physical work of balancing the body and can help calm the mind and clear negative feelings and emotions. I love helping others in any capacity that I can, and it has led me down the paths to where I am today. I am excited to be here at Waukee Wellness, and it brings me joy to welcome you into my own space.
