Pensacola Business Radio: Guest-Joyce Wheeler/Heavenly Bodies and Alex Talcott/Seacoast Financial

00:00 /

Joyce Wheeler founded Heavenly Bodies in 2012. After her husband suffered from health issues she started educating her self on various products and their ingredients. She started to study herbs and while doing so learned how to create a salve. With her sense of curiosity she decided to put some herbs together to create her own healing salve, which is one of Heavenly Bodies’s most popular products.

Joyce’s is interest in living a more natural life lead her to conducting research in the areas of food, cleaning products, beauty care, meditation, exercise and more. She began blogging on the topic of homeschooling in 2008, doing curriculum reviews, sharing helpful links along with documenting her experience as she homeschooled her own children. Then as her interested grew in living a more natural lifestyle she began blogging on this topic in 2012 and freelance writing on the topic in 2014. From their she wanted to learn more and share her findings, so in 2015 she started a natural living magazine and podcast. Joyce also gives talks on living natural as she has a strong passion for helping others.

Due to her interest in creating more organic skin care products Joyce enrolled in an organic skin care class in 2016. This has allowed her to learn to create safer products, customize them and has lead to four new products in the Heavenly Body skin care line. She received her certification as a Boutique Skincare Designer on October 13, 2017.

While Joyce’s main focus at this time is on Heavenly Body, she continues to do research on all facets of natural living along with the ingredients she uses.

Alex Talcott, JD, is the Managing Partner of Seacoast Financial Planning and Seacoast Tax Services, with offices in Portsmouth, New Hampshire and Boston and clients in Florida and most states.
