Angela Hendersen

Angela, Office Manager

I am a proud southerner being raised in Arkansas and Texas. My husband and I have made South Elgin our home for the past 11 years. Prior to joining the Harmony team, I owned and operated a teen/adult driving school with four locations in the Chicago area. I love working with the Harmony Team and especially meeting and helping all of the patients with their needs. Since joining the team I have met some wonderful people in our office. It has been a wonderful experience.

My husband and I are empty nesters. We have three children, two daughter-in-laws and four grandchildren that call me “Honey”. My husband and I enjoy traveling to Michigan, Texas and Nebraska to visit our children and their families. I love watching and attending college football games.


Caroline Jakaitis

Caroline, Office Manager

I started working at Harmony Chiropractic in 2019. I took over the assistant job that my older sister had, and I have worked through the summers ever since. During the time I was not working, I attended the University of Indianapolis. Played basketball at the DII level and graduated in 2024 with a biology degree.

I have been a patient with Harmony for as long as I can remember, starting at the age of three. Dr. Curt and the Harmony Chiropractic team have seen and helped me through all stages of life. From minor sickness to ankle and head injuries, they have always provided the best support and care.

Currently, I am going to North Central College to get a Masters in Physician Assistant Studies. My goal is to go into Pediatrics, helping children live their best and most carefree lives.

Daphnie

Daphne, Chiropractic Assistant

I’m 21 years old and was born and raised in Elgin. Working with patients is something I’ve always aspired to do. Working at Harmony has given me the chance to put my skills into practice. I started off as a patient at Harmony Chiropractic, from the start Dr. Curt has always made me feel welcome. From being a patient, to working beside him, I can truly say he listens and cares deeply about his patient’s health and wellbeing.

Outside of the office I have two other jobs, I am a cashier at the Burlington store and also a caregiver to two beautiful ladies. In addition, I’m also a full time student at ECC. After wrapping up my associate degree in science, I’m excited to say I’ll be starting nursing school.

At home I have two doggies, Biscuit a yellow Lab and Pebble a Dalmatian. During my free time I’m either hanging out with my family or out and about doing fun activities, trying new foods, feeding my shopping addiction, or watching my favorite shows on Netflix.


Renee Evans

Renee, Chiropractic Assistant

I’m a licensed Esthetician and Educator. I have a passion for helping people feel beautiful inside and out. Chiropractic care has been instrumental to my fitness goals and in my personal life. I love being active, and I truly believe in the benefits of chiropractic care. I was a patient of Dr. Buss before I was an employee. I love the energy and the positivity of the office. He continues to impress me with the level of care he provides and his genuine positive mental attitude. I am newly remarried with two adult children and three dogs.

I love fitness classes, decorating, learning new things, and meeting new people. I am so excited to be part of the Harmony Chiropractic family!

Carrie Rys

Carrie, Invisa-RED Weight Loss Specialist

I’ve always been interested in natural ways to strengthen and heal the body, both with nutrition and fitness. Through exercise I felt physically and mentally stronger every day! My desire to share that with others led me to become a Group Fitness Instructor, eventually specializing in Pilates. Having figured out what worked for me with exercise, I still felt confused on how to properly fuel my body. I had literally tried every “diet” out there without ever seeing long term results. Harmony’s Weight Loss Program was finally the missing link I had been searching for. Not only did I see stubborn fat come off and stay off, but I felt amazing through the whole process! I feel so blessed to be able to support our patients through their weight loss journey, and live their best life!

Keeping my family and friends healthy is really important to me too! My husband and I have two adult children, Zack and Allie. In my free time I enjoy reading, staying active, and hanging out with family and friends. I love my job (although it doesn’t feel like work) and am very grateful to be a part of the Harmony Chiropractic family!
