I can’t say enough good things about Kevin! I came in struggling with persistent tennis elbow pain that was affecting my daily activities, and after just one session, I noticed a huge difference. Kevin used techniques that targeted the exact areas of tension. The massage relieved my pain and allowed me to play tennis again. I highly recommend Kevin. I have sent many of my friends to him already.

Thanks for the tune up today, Kevin! No way I would still be playing ball at this level without you. You brought me back from the brink and Im incredibly grateful.

Kevin is a miracle worker! He did magic on my foot that I thought was not fixable with therapy. It was so worth the visit (and pain haha).
Kevin listens and goes above and beyond.
The Red light therapy is great too! Everyone should try it at least once!

Have you heard about the combo massage and sound bath experience offered at Simplistic Holistics by Simply Samtastic (Sam K) and Julie Benson? I recently, gratefully, received these services and cannot rave enough about Julie and Sam. I am relaxed, refreshed, and energized - ready for new adventures. Sam and Julie are an amazing team and the dual experience of massage and sound bath was indescribably yummy, soothing, and healing. Check it out - you can thank me later.
OH and check out Simplistic Holistics for personal training, group classes, yoga, and straight up massage. These folks are knowledgeable and dedicated and incredibly supportive no matter where you are on your health and fitness journey.

Very educated, communicative, and thorough. I met Kevin, the owner, through his previous employer in massage therapy and will trust no one else. He is very candid in the delivery of his vast knowledge of body mechanics and suggested preventative maintenance or corrective measures. He is very passionate about sharing his expertise. It is extremely reassuring to hear, especially when you seek treatment for specific issues. As an old athlete and endurance runner, I ask a lot of my body and his treatments always bring relief. Kevin was also very professional when I brought my 14 year old daughter for treatment of lower back tightness. Honestly, one 60-minute massage cleared her issues that had been escalating for 3-4 weeks and was causing her to miss her athletic practices. He is always my first choice over any ortho clinic or dr. His facility is always clean and inviting and the location is simple to find.

Two words: Julie Benson!! Wow! She is an absolute rare find in the yoga industry. Truly authentic in her teachings and upholds the yogic roots and philosophy. Julie is also an amazing sound bath practioner. With multiple instruments like crystal bowls, wind Chimes, hand pan, crystal Triangle and her voice! If you see her offering a sound healing, sign up right away. They always sell out!

When I began going to Simplistic Holistics, I was nervous to take classes so I started with personal training with Julie on Saturdays. I did a half hour strength training and a half hour yoga session. She is incredible and gave me the confidence to start taking Kevin’s fitness classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 5pm.
I’m proud to say I just completed my 56th straight fitness session with Kevin. What I haven’t mentioned is when I started I had severe lower back pain and couldn’t bend my right knee. With Kevin‘s clinical massage, his varied strength and balance training, and Julie’s expert yoga knowledge, those issues have been rectified.
The strength flexibility and mental well-being I’ve gained from Simplistic Holistics has been life changing. I continue to see Julie on Saturdays for one hour yoga as well.
I can’t say enough good things about Simplistic Holistics. It’s a 5 star establishment, I feel so comfortable there and part of something special!
Simplistic Holistics also offers red light therapy and sauna. They cover all the bases. I would highly recommend stopping in at Simplistic Holistics!
Thank you Kevin and Julie for all you have done for me!

Like many, I’ve been a person who started and stopped exercising until I found Simplistic Holistics. Kevin, Julie and Stephanie have created an environment that works for every level of ability. Julie’s holistic nutrition knowledge helped me get healthy and off daily medications for stomach and breathing. Yes… really! Kevin’s clinical massages had my chiropractor saying whomever you’re seeing for massage, keep going. They are helping you heal!!
I can’t say enough about this small and mighty business located in Island Lake. It’s been a life saver for my mind, body and spirit.

Kevin is amazing! I have a terrible sciatic nerve and Kevin knows what he is doing and thoroughly explains what he is going to do along with giving you exercises to help keep up what he has just massaged out for you. I could hardly walk without some kind of pain and aggravation and or stand and now I can comfortably stand. My doctor told me to goto physical therapy forget that I would go and see Kevin before I ever do that. If you have any aches and pains give him a call he will work magic on you!!
