JENNIFER WHITE
I am a board-certified nurse practitioner with over 10 years of experience in family practice and primary care, and more than 20 years in healthcare. I earned my master’s degree from the University of Delaware and began my career in Baltimore, Maryland, where I’m originally from. Since 2022, I’ve been proud to serve patients in Iowa.
My practice focuses on comprehensive care, offering services such as women’s and men’s health, medical weight loss and management, hormone replacement and optimization, pelvic and vaginal revitalization therapies, and stable medication management for certain chronic conditions. I also specialize in a range of aesthetic treatments, including Botox, dermal fillers, cellulite treatments, IPL skin rejuvenation, laser hair removal, and more.
What sets my care apart:
- Patient-Centered Approach
I treat people, not numbers. I believe in listening to my patients because no one knows their body better than they do. Together, we work as a team to develop a personalized care plan—you play an active role in your health journey. - Honesty and Transparency
I’m straightforward and direct. If I don’t know the answer, I’ll tell you. I foster a laid-back, safe, and nonjudgmental environment where you can discuss anything, even topics that may feel uncomfortable. Open communication is essential for effective care. - Collaborative Decision-Making
My role is to listen, educate, and provide recommendations based on my professional expertise. Ultimately, you are in charge of your body and your treatment decisions.
On a personal note, I’m a proud fan of the TV show Friends—I quote it daily—and I have a soft spot for sugar, carbs, and all things ’80s (especially the music). Inspired by my passion for human connection and open communication, I’m venturing into becoming the next-generation Dr. Ruth, embracing her philosophy on life, relationships, and the power of honest conversations.

STACY DIXON
After more than 25 years in the staffing and recruiting industry, I made the bold decision to walk away from what I knew and walk toward what truly lights me up. My passion has always been people: building relationships, helping others feel seen and supported, and creating genuine, lasting connections.
Sales and marketing have always come naturally to me, and the challenge of growing something meaningful has always kept my fire alive. I spent most of my career working in our family-owned business, which came with its own set of lessons and blessings. I’m especially grateful for the example set by my mom and stepdad – two incredible role models. And while I sometimes miss the hustle of staffing, I’ve found a new home at The Bar Aesthetics & Wellness.
Aesthetics has always fascinated me, but even more so, I’ve become passionate about the journey of aging with confidence. There’s nothing more powerful than seeing a woman walk out feeling more comfortable in her skin than when she walked in. I see myself in so many of our patients, and it’s incredibly fulfilling to be part of a business that’s making a real impact, not just in how people look, but in how they feel.
Outside of The Bar, my heart belongs to my family. Quality time, our animals, close friends, and laughter – that’s my happy place. I’m excited to keep growing with this team and continue helping our clients feel strong, beautiful, and unapologetically themselves.
