Creekside Wellness Invites the Community Into a Season of Connection, Healing, and Exploration

Downtown Athens continues to grow with spaces dedicated to wellness, mindfulness, and meaningful connection, and Creekside Wellness is offering the community a full calendar of experiences designed to help people slow down, reconnect, and care for themselves in intentional ways.

Owner and therapist Christy Miu has created a welcoming environment where people can explore healing practices in a way that feels approachable, supportive, and grounded. This year, Creekside is opening its doors even wider with workshops, open-house opportunities, retreats, and new online offerings.

Thai Yoga Bodywork for Couples

One of the most unique upcoming experiences is a Thai Yoga Bodywork for Couples workshop, a meditative, floor-based practice blending assisted stretching, rhythmic compression, and mindful touch. Often called “lazy yoga,” the practice allows the body to soften and restore without effort.

This 90-minute workshop will teach couples how to offer nurturing, grounding touch to one another while learning simple techniques they can continue practicing at home. The session focuses on relaxation, mobility, and nervous system balance while fostering deeper connection through shared presence.

The workshop is limited to just six couples to keep the experience intimate and supportive.

Meet the Therapist + Explore the Space

Creekside is also inviting the community to step inside and experience the energy of the space during a relaxed open-house style event.

Visitors will be able to:

• Tour treatment rooms

• Meet the therapists

• Ask questions and explore services

• Watch live demonstrations of wellness tools

Therapists will be available to discuss massage therapy, lymphatic drainage, yoga, mindful movement, and embodiment practices. Whether someone is curious, seeking support, or simply wanting to connect, this event offers an easy, welcoming introduction to Creekside Wellness.

Aura Photo Day — One Day Only

On Tuesday, February 18 from 12–6 PM, Creekside Wellness will host a special Aura Photo Day, offering guests a chance to experience their energetic signature expressed in color.

Each session begins with a conversation about chakras and aura energy, followed by a hand-sensor energy scan that produces a full-color aura image. Participants will then explore their results through an intuitive and compassionate lens and receive a follow-up email containing their image and a detailed multi-page analysis.

This unique experience is available as a private session or shared with friends and family, and walk-ins are welcome throughout the day.

Nervous System & Soul: Regulated + Rooted

Looking ahead to spring, Creekside Wellness will host a deeply intentional weekend workshop focused on trauma-sensitive care and embodied living through the principles of The Four Agreements.

This two-day experience is designed to offer a gently held space where participants can:

• Cultivate peace in their body

• Build a softer relationship with themselves

• Learn tools for intentional living

• Experience grounded, meaningful connection

The weekend blends somatic practices, guided reflection, quiet moments, and group conversation to support self-trust and inner listening.

Tea + Tarot Mountain Retreat

Later this year, Creekside will host an intimate Tea + Tarot Weekend Retreat in Robbinsville, North Carolina.

This mountain retreat invites women to step away from everyday life and into a sacred container for reflection, connection, and renewal. The experience includes nourishing meals, meditation, gentle yoga, journaling, group circle, and tea and tarot for inner guidance.

With only eight spots available, the retreat is designed to remain deeply personal and intentional.

Introducing Lavender + Sage | Rooted in Wellness

In addition to in-person offerings, Christy has created Lavender + Sage | Rooted in Wellness, an online sanctuary where she shares the practices, insights, and tools that have shaped her own healing journey over the past decade.

While Creekside Wellness remains her physical practice, Lavender + Sage provides a digital space for connection, education, and continued exploration.

Creekside Wellness continues to offer Athens a space where healing, curiosity, and connection can coexist. Whether attending a workshop, exploring a retreat, or simply stopping by to learn more, the invitation is clear: come as you are.
