Aging is Inevitable.

Feeling "Old" is Optional.

Many people hit a point in their life when they start to notice changes in their body.

Pain, stiffness, fatigue, emotional strain. They just don't feel the same anymore.

Old injuries, low back pain, shoulder issues, achy knees... anxiety, brain fog, unending stress. The list goes on and on.

We find ourselves making jokes to friends and family that we are "getting old".

It's Not About "getting old".

Our bodies are simply dealing with the impacts of daily living over time.

This "stuck stress" builds up in our bodies via Connective Tissue (also known as fascia).

Connective Tissue is a living fabric under our skin that protects, supports, and stabilizes our muscles & joints.

Stuck stress in Connective Tissue causes:

Stiffness in the body
Alignment Issues
Pain/stiffness that keeps coming back in spite of stretching, chiropractic adjustments, or massages.

But the changes we see are more than just physical. We feel overwhelmed, stressed, even paralyzed at times at the thought of trying to create real change in our bodies.

We struggle with lack of motivation, bad habits like overeating, negative thinking patterns, drinking, smoking, spending money we don't have, and more.

Haven is a small Studio in Peoria, IL focused on helping you find the root cause behind your pain & stiffness.

We teach techniques you can learn and practice at home to create lasting change.

Stop wasting time and money on things that don't address the root of the problem.

New mattress covers, more arch support, fancy office chairs, more frequent workouts, or supplements - none of these things are going to fix the problem.

We need to assess our bodies, find out where we are having issues with connective tissue, and learn the simple treatments that will restore fluid flow to these areas and fix the problem.

Once you understand how these techniques work, you will be able to use them the rest of your life to care for your body in a whole new way.

These techniques will support the work of your chiropractors, physical therapists, and massage therapists.

Hi, I'm Joyce!

Over the past 10 years I've experienced several health setbacks and challenges, none of which were fun! From a rough childbirth experience to neurological issues, a severely broken leg followed by a car accident; I've had my share of down time due to health issues.

While the medical world had a definite role in my healing journey, it was often the things I did at home that helped me feel better in the moment and speed my recovery. Practice Simple Wellness is for those who find themselves wanting better health and are looking for simple ways to feel better and support themselves at home.

Great class! Joyce does a good job of explaining the melt method. It felt great. Can’t wait to keep going with what I learned. It all makes sense. I’m really glad I went and can’t wait to learn more!

Robin (Peoria, IL)

I am so glad I found Joyce and MELT!!! I love how she walks us through each of the steps and customizes each class depending on the responses we give as we check in with our bodies. This has made a tremendous difference for me in how my body feels and moves!! Thank you Joyce!

I loved the class and will be coming to additional classes. Joyce is a great instructor and explains the "why" and "how" this method is so beneficial. I have already melted today at my office desk!

At Haven, we know you are the kind of person who wants to feel good in your body. In order to do that, you need simple tools and techniques that really work to keep you moving well and addressing pain or injuries as they come up.

You need encouragement and a positive community of folks who are working on their bodies, in their own way.

The problem is we are often told that getting past pain, stiffness, or injuries can only be done through expensive therapies and procedures, which put us in debt, sometimes cause more problems, and keep us stuck in the revolving door of health issues.

We have found that it is critical to look at the entire body as a whole & explore big picture alignment issues, in order to truly recover our bodies.

We understand what it feels like to feel stuck in a cycle of pain & stiffness, while not having a clear plan on how to get better. That’s why we opened Haven by Practice Simple Wellness. This is our space to help you explore what is going on with your body, and create a plan that WORKS to help you recover in a real way.

Here’s how it works: Identify where you need the most help right away, learn the simple techniques that will move the needle forward on your health goals, and then implement them at home. It's that simple.

Jump in with us, get unstuck, and get back to feeling your best.
