Best for the best!

by MichelleLong

Celeste has a beautiful persona and from beginning to end I felt comfortable. I purchased a barefoot massage, with chronic back problems I feel it was the best choice. I had minimal to no back pain for about 2 months. My only regret is not living nearby the studio. We traveled to Charlotte, I looked up massage therapists and found Celestial Soul. Ever since, I cannot stop raving about it. If you are someone with chronic pain or back problems I strongly recommend finding this studio if ever in the Charlotte area.

• Pros: Barefoot massage was divine
• Cons: Could not find any.

Perfection Found.

by megan1975

I was lucky to find Celeste a couple years ago after my best friend had a massage by her. There is not another therapist like her in Charlotte! She makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed the moment you step in the door. I am a medical sales rep and I drive all throughout North and South Carolina, sometimes spending 6 to 7 hours a day in the car behind the wheel. When I'm not behind the wheel, I'm sitting at a desk getting paperwork done. All of this constant sitting has taken its toll on my low back/hamstring area. My shoulders also hold a lot of tension from sitting in traffic and holding the wheel. Celeste targets my problem areas and always hits "the spot" - EVERY SINGLE TIME. She works the pressure points in my low back and shoulders like nobody else has - EVER. I can actually see my shoulders in the mirror sitting an inch or two lower when she is finished. I always leave feeling mentally and physically recharged -- its my escape. I have sent no less than 7 or 8 of my closest friends to her over the last two years and they all think she gives the best massage they've had. I never have to worry about sending people to her because she makes referring easy and I know they will be smiling when they leave. Her warmth and compassion comes out in all that she does and I give her my highest recommendation. MSS

• Pros: Very peaceful and calm environment. Professional service.

Simply Amazing - Thank you Celeste!

by gratefulhusband

My wife loves stone and Ashiatsu (barefoot) massage. She has a very stressful job and uses massage for both its therapeutic and indulgent qualities. As we have traveled, we have searched numerous 5-star resorts and stand-alone spas throughout the US for the best masseuse. While my wife has had several great experiences, Celeste beats them all! She not only has outstanding technique but she manages her business with a warmth that is almost impossible to find these days. We will continue to be regular clients for years to come. Celestial Soul is the simply the best.

• Pros: Amazing technique, Excellent value

EVERYTHING I ever wanted in a Massage Therapist!!!

by blueeyegirl

Truly the best in Charlotte! I am a nurse and have been standing on my feet for over a decade. I had been seeing another massage therapist for years and could not find another therapist I liked after he got out of the business. I have been to so many places for massage ? the high end and cheapies alike ? but hadn?t found anyone in over two years that could help my chronic low back/hip pain. So, I started going to a chiropractor and more recently, an acupuncturist. Both of these helped but I still couldn?t find true relief. My husband was so tired of hearing me complain that on a whim he went on Citysearch and found Celeste and booked me an appointment for the next day. I WAS SPEECHLESS FOR 10 MINUTES AFTER I GOT OFF HER TABLE!!! She thought I was having a sugar low so she offered me a Starburst! :) Truth is, she is the most talented therapist I have ever been to. AND I HAVE BEEN TO MANY IN MY 40 YEARS! She found EVERY spot on me that had pain ? spots that even the best massage therapists before had never gotten to. I was almost shocked at how much pain I was carrying in my body that no one had ever addressed. She had a way of working through my ?good pain? to the point that it wasn?t painful any more. I would have been happy just for the pain relief alone, but on top of that, she plays gorgeous music, uses heat, aroma?she creates an experience. Every time I thought she was done, she would do another little extra. It has been three months since my first massage and I have been every other week since then. I now sleep comfortably without tossing all night. I now sit in a chair for more than one hour without extreme aches up and down my spine. I now stand at work for hours without wanting to cry. This lady is amazing and I wish I had found her years ago. I completely believe in her and what she has done for me. I CONSIDER MYSELF A MASSAGE CONNOISSEUR ? HAD MASSAGES ALL OVER THE WORLD ? AND SHE IS TRULY THE BEST! You will NOT be disappointed. (Tell her Cindie sent you!)

• Pros: Everything. Her new office is beautiful!

by MAllen62

This was the best massage I have ever had and I have had many. The barefoot massage was awesome. It was a heavenly experience that I look forward to having again and again.

Best Massage ever

by SB7

I have had several massages from several different people over the years and nothing compares to this. I am a fairly large muscled person and in the past this has given the masseuse(sp?) some difficulty in getting out the kinks but with the barefoot massage Celeste was able to work out all my areas that are normally a problem! I highly recommend this for anyone who has had similar problems in the past!

• Pros: Ambience, Professionalism, Level of Relaxation achieved

THE PERFECT MASSAGE!! A dance of the mind and body.

by queencitychicie

I recently moved to Charlotte and was so sad about leaving my therapist up in D.C. ? she had been a bi-weekly part of my routine for over 12 years in helping me manage the chronic neck and shoulder pain that I had to deal with from sitting at my stressful desk job 8+ hours a day. So, not knowing who to ask for a referral, I went straight to the internet. Celeste had wonderful reviews here on Citysearch so I decided to give her a try. I have to say that my love for my previous therapist has been shattered!!! Seriously, all those years I thought I was getting the best, I now know there is so much more. I felt WONDERFUL on the inside and out when I left Celeste's office. She did an amazing job in working the correct muscles to make my pain and tightness go away, as well as the artistic ability to bring the whole massage into an ?experience?. It was like one long, relaxing therapeutic flow - truly a dance of the mind and body.

So, all of you ladies out there who think you know what a great massage is, you need to go see Celeste. She will most certainly take your concept of an amazing massage up to the highest level. I?ve heard it said that ?love is in the details? and that sums up Celeste and her work. She is world-class!!!

• Pros: Personalized service and unique skill level!

The. Best. Ever.

by diamondgrrl64

Celeste is a miracle worker. I've had a few massages - and paid lots of money for them - in my time but no one can compare to Celeste. She gets into my lower back like no else ever has. Honestly, you have to give her a try . I've referred several friends and they've all become clients.

She's totally professional and courteous of your time. Her place is clean and easy to get to. Celeste checks in with you often on your comfort and how the pressure feels.

I love the online appointment booking and the ability to buy gift certificates with a few clicks. You can personalize the gift certificates.

Also, I completely respect her decision to only work with female clients. It couldn't be easy for any small business owner to make that decision. But she had great reasons and she made the best decision for her.

(Bonus: You can go shopping at Paper Skyscraper before your appointment!)

Celeste is true delight and a gift. You'd be missing something awesome if you don't make at least one appointment.

Words can't describe this experience!

by icedtea1975

Celeste is the most talented and amazing massage therapist I have ever experienced. Her studio is intimate and lush. You feel comfortable and at ease as soon as you enter. I always found massages to be ackward and painful, but needed to be done because of my line of work. A friend had heard about this studio and told me to give a new technique a try. WOW WOW WOW! I have been back a few times and do not plan on ever leave Celeste. Combine the relaxing scents, the warm eye mask and her talanted feet/hands, the result is complete bliss!!! I was actually sad when my 90minutes was over. Even my scalp felt relaxed. Each visit Celeste has a talk with me before she starts so she knows which parts of my body to target. This is not service you would ever receive anywhere else. This is about the MIND, BODY and SOUL! Thank you Celeste for all your time and talent.

• Pros: Talented, comforting, thorough consultation
