Welcome to Haven!

A Place to Move, Heal, and Feel at Home in Your Body

At Haven, we believe healing starts from the inside out—through movement, connection, and intentional care.

Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, tightness, stress, or just feeling out of balance, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

We're a wellness studio that helps you reconnect with your body and feel better—through fascia-focused movement, therapeutic massage, and community-centered care.

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

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

Old injuries, low back pain, shoulder issues, achy knees... The list goes on and on.

What We Offer:

Therapeutic Massage

Relieve Pain • Reduce Stress • Restore Balance

Our licensed massage therapists offer customized, therapeutic massage sessions that blend relaxation with results. From deep tension relief to gentle lymphatic support, your session is tailored to your needs using techniques like:

• Swedish massage for relaxation and circulation

• Focused therapeutic work on trouble areas

• Warm towels, sugar scrubs, and essential oils as requested.

• Optional AromaTouch Technique to reset the nervous system

Whether you're recovering from injury, managing stress, or just need to unwind, our massage therapy sessions are designed to support healing, not just pamper.

We shop for new pillows and mattress covers, buy ergonomic chairs and mousepads.

Group Classes for Pain, Stiffness, & Mobility

Small. Supportive. Science-Based.

Our classes help release stuck patterns in your fascia—the body’s connective tissue web—so you move with more freedom and less pain. Each week, we offer:

• The MELT Method – gentle tools to hydrate fascia and calm the nervous system

• Block Therapy – deep-release techniques using breath, gravity, and pressure

• Foot & Hand Mobility – because alignment starts at the foundation

Our movement classes are ideal for all bodies and all levels—no pressure, no performance, just progress.

Infrared Sauna

Detox • Circulation • Relieve Pain/Stiffness

Step into deep warmth and discover the healing power of infrared therapy. Unlike traditional saunas that simply heat the air, our infrared sauna uses gentle, penetrating light waves to warm the body from the inside out—providing therapeutic benefits you can feel long after your session.

Each 30-minute session can help with:

• Detoxification – support your body’s natural cleansing pathways

• Muscle recovery – reduce soreness and stiffness after workouts or daily strain

• Stress relief – calm the nervous system and encourage deep relaxation

• Improved circulation – gently boost blood flow for greater healing and vitality

Whether you’re pairing it with a massage, winding down after class, or simply giving your body a much-needed reset, our infrared sauna is a safe, natural way to recharge and restore balance.

Each month at Haven, we open our doors for hands-on workshops that make natural living simple, fun, and doable. These gatherings are designed to help you care for your body, home, and mind—with tools you can use every day.

• Natural cleaning – swap toxic products for safe, effective alternatives

• Essential oils – practical ways to support health, mood, and home

• Nervous system regulation – gentle practices to calm stress and boost resilience

• Everyday natural health – easy, sustainable habits for more energy and less overwhelm

Our workshops are friendly, welcoming, and beginner-friendly—no prior experience needed. Come for the education, stay for the community, and leave feeling inspired to take small steps that add up to big change.

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. Haven 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! Learned new techniques to help with my right knee and hip pain and general stiffness. Highly recommend!

Stacy (Peoria, IL)

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.
