CELESTE GLUZ
Founder, Feminine Guide, Sound Therapist
Celeste has moved between high-performing environments and deep spiritual initiation from an early age. Growing up as a professional dancer and graduating as 1 of 2 women in her Economics class of FIU, Celeste was always in tune with nature and felt ‘too sensitive for the world.’
After a successful career as a professional dancer, she segwayed into fitness, becoming the first International Master trainer for barre and opening several boutique studios off-shore, all while continuing her spiritual path as the ‘background’ of her life.
After opening her dream fitness and wellness studio in Hawai’i with a team of 15 women and serving hundreds of women in their healing and spiritual journey, Celeste experienced major burn out, which gave her the opportunity to find the Feminine Initiatory Path, moving beyond spiritual wisdom and practices and embodying an ancient system that was once used to train women in holding both spiritual wisdom and high-pressure social environments.
Today, Celeste shares the Medicine of the Feminine that has helped her hold these two seemingly opposing aspects of life. She has balanced her study of the body with the study of energy and sound, teaching and sharing the necessary medicine of both body and spirit to sensitive and high-achieving women just like her.
Movement Bio
Celeste grew up as a professional ballerina in south florida, teaching ballet and hiphop classes since her high school years. After dancing for FIU’s Dance team and South Florida’s NHL dancers, she branched out into the barre and pilates industry in NYC, eventually becoming an fitness educator for Barre Intensity.
After leading the NE and SE markets into major growth, Celeste established relationships which led her to travel globally and establish boutique studios in emerging fitness markets like Asia and South America, translating fitness manuals into spanish and developing fitness teams from the ground up, from brand new talent to Master Trainers at each location.
Celeste’s passion for developing fitness talent continued into what she calls the ‘Art of Teaching’ which supports fitness professionals with what is most lacking in today’s fitness industry: Presence, Structural Integrity and Voice Development.
