Meet Charnice Crowley | Holistic Esthetician, Esthetic Instructor, Herbalist, & Soundbath Mediator

We had the good fortune of connecting with Charnice Crowley and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Charnice, how does your business help the community?
At Holistic Pleasures Spa & Apothecary, our mission goes beyond just providing wellness services. We are deeply committed to fostering a community that values sustainability, holistic health, and mindful living.In terms of community impact, we actively engage in educational workshops, where we share knowledge about herbalism, self-care practices, and sustainable living. Our goal is to inspire others to take a more holistic approach to their health, which benefits not only the individual but also the environment and community at large.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
What sets Holistic Pleasures Spa & Apothecary apart is our unwavering commitment to offering a holistic approach to wellness that combines both mind and body healing. We don’t just focus on skincare or relaxation; we care about empowering our clients to embrace a balanced and mindful lifestyle. From our farm-to-facial products, made with herbs we cultivate ourselves, to our personalized wellness consultations, we ensure that every treatment and product is designed with the highest regard for both the individual and the environment.

I’m most proud of how far we’ve come from a small apothecary to a growing spa and wellness business. Seeing my vision of a place where clients can experience true healing, not just in a physical sense but emotionally and spiritually as well, is incredibly fulfilling. What excites me most about the future is the expansion into a wellness retreat, where we can combine sustainable living with holistic healing in a way that nurtures both people and the planet.

Getting to where I am today has been a journey filled with both triumphs and challenges. No, it wasn’t easy. There were moments where I had doubts, whether it was navigating financial hurdles or balancing the growth of the business while staying true to my vision. However, I learned to embrace the challenges as opportunities for growth. The biggest lesson I’ve learned is the importance of perseverance and patience—success doesn’t happen overnight, but each small step leads to something bigger.

What I want the world to know about Holistic Pleasures is that we are not just another spa—we are a community-focused brand that values sustainability, holistic health, and education. We are here to inspire others to take control of their health and well-being by making conscious choices, whether through the products they use, the food they eat, or the services they invest in. Our story is rooted in a deep desire to offer authentic, meaningful experiences that support long-term wellness, not just quick fixes.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If my best friend were visiting the area, I’d make sure they had the best time exploring the vibrant culture, relaxing spots, and local gems that make this place so special. We’d kick off the trip with a relaxing morning at Holistic Pleasures Spa & Apothecary for an indulgent Herbal Infusion Facial to get them settled in. Afterward, we’d head to Garden Parc for a fresh, & soulful brunch. In the afternoon, we’d take a scenic drive to one of the nearby waterfalls, like Roswell Falls, where we could hike, enjoy nature, and take in some breathtaking views. For dinner, we’d grab a bite at a farm-to-table spot like The General Muir or Farm Burger before exploring Ponce City Market for some shopping and rooftop drinks.

The next day wnbe’d head to Virginia Highland to explore trendy shops and galleries. The afternoon would take us to Krog Street Market or back to Ponce City Market for some more shopping, and we’d end the night enjoying the energy of the city, perhaps with cocktails at Krog Street Market or Old Fourth Ward.

The next day, we’d dedicate some time to shopping and relaxing. We’d grab lunch at Salata once more, before spending the afternoon on the BeltLine, wandering through the artsy shops and stopping for a coffee or tea at a local café. Later, we’d enjoy a laid-back evening at Wicked Wolf or Staplehouse, followed by drinks at a rooftop bar with beautiful city views. As the week went on, we’d dive into the best flavors Atlanta has to offer, with a food tour of Downtown Atlanta, where we’d grab a bite at Mary Mac’s Tea Room for some true Southern comfort food. Afterward, we’d take in the views of the city from Ponce City Market’s rooftop or head to East Atlanta Village for cocktails and a fun night out.

Midweek, we’d explore the beautiful Atlanta Botanical Garden and Atlanta History Center to enjoy the city’s greenery and rich history. A peaceful afternoon walk through Piedmont Park would give us the perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy the beauty of the city. For our final evening out, we’d enjoy a fancy dinner at **Rooftop at Ponce City Market**, with its stunning skyline views. Finally, we’d end the week with a morning of reflection and relaxation with a walk on the **BeltLine**, followed by a **DIY herbal workshop** or **wellness consultation** at **Holistic Pleasures Spa & Apothecary**. We’d finish the trip with a quiet dinner at The Woodfire Grill, soaking in the last few moments of the trip before heading back to reality.

Lastly, attend spirit & truth church atlanta to end the week off with a good word from God.

This week would be a mix of adventure, relaxation, local food, and spending time at places I truly love. I’d make sure my best friend got a taste of everything—from the nature surrounding us to the bustling local culture and, of course, the wellness haven I’ve created at Holistic Pleasures Spa & Apothecary.n,,
