Releasing tension throughout the body with focus on movement and flexibility. Grow young, not old!
“So are you just really only doing the movement these days?”
This seems to be a bit more frequently asked question to me these days. The simple answer is no.
Nothing is linear in my approaches to bodywork. I’m working with the whole body at all times. Even if we are addressing specific areas. Am I only working with the arm while I am working on the arm? Absolutely not.
As such, I am able to employ a multitude of integrative approaches I have been playing with and exploring for years. It’s just always growing, expanding, and changing. Just like us. And it’s never from just one modality or one technique. It truly is an integrated blend. Which approach/approaches we choose is up to you.
Ready to discover and explore what might best serve you? I am here for you.
I have openings the next few days before heading out of town for continued education this weekend. Have a great week ahead!

Ok y’all. You came out in droves and provided incredible feedback on which paint color coordination to go with and here is the final product!
I’ll tell ya it was not an easy decision. It came down to either all green (which was option D in the poll) and the winner which we went with, option A!
Couldn’t have gone wrong either way but I will say the final outcome has provided the warmth and coziness I was hoping for. Thank you Thank you for your input!
Another step forward as the development of the new space continues. Up next will be the additions of shelves and art. Stay tuned and please come see and feel how the room is coming together!
The true heart and soul of it all is you so I look forward to seeing you soon. 🙏🏽

Bringing intentional, slow, deliberate, functional movement into my bodywork practice has been a profound game changer. On the table. Off the table. So many opportunities to explore. Hosting group classes has been a goal. And here we are.
About to host a series of weekly classes here at Eckerd College every Wednesday morning. Super excited for the opportunity and the future opportunities that are unfolding. Stay tuned! 🙏🏽

🎉 A very Happy 3rd Birthday to my bodywork practice Michael J. Annaian, LMT aka Grow Young Healing! 🎉
🙏🏽What a ride it has been so far. From the beginning of creating the foundations and finding myself, to then being thrown into uncertain times with natural disasters in the forms of back to back hurricanes that ravaged our areas, the rebuild that has come along with that, the rebuild that continues, to being within 3 different locations just in this calendar year alone. Phew.🙏🏽
✨3 years in and still standing. Still growing. Still exploring. Still learning (Forever). Still curious Always.✨
🙌🏽 I go where I’m led, on the table and off, and I’m continuing to lean into trusting myself and truly believing in my instincts. Thank you for this incredible practice.🙌🏽
🍁I am grateful for each stop along the way from MettaCenterStPete to Dr. Mike Lieberman to now my current location inside “Suites For All” aka the Skylight Atrium.🍁
🌕 I have faced adversity along the way and I’m grateful to wake up each day and discover my path my way. Creating my practices my way. Journeying through this experience my way. And eternally grateful for how profound coming to bodywork has been so instrumental in my own healing journey. And by my way I mean God’s way.🌕
- Regrets, I’ve had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption -
🌟Thank you to all my supporters along the way. Every day is a new experience and I am showing up more clear and ready with each new day, for you.🌟
🌞We’re just getting started and I look forward to seeing you soon. Thank you for everything 🙏🏽. 🌞

🍂 Welcome to October — a few things are changing around here.
This month feels like a fresh chapter for Grow Young Healing.
I’m settling into the new space, with some painting, decorating and finishing touches coming soon to make the room feel even more comfortable and intentional.
A few other updates:
• New pricing + package options — 3- and 5-session packages are now available by request for clients who want to make bodywork a regular part of their routine.
• Mobile Mondays are here. I’m opening Mondays for mobile sessions, bringing massage and movement therapy to you.
• Corporate + Event bodywork — I’m available for employee wellness days, busy-season support, athletic events and other on-site opportunities. Recently I had the chance to work with an accounting firm during busy season and with athletes at a long-distance swim event on Pass-a-Grille Beach. I really enjoy getting this work outside of the treatment room and into the community.
• Continuing to learn. I’ll also be spending time with my mentor this month, continuing my education and bringing more into the way I work with movement, recovery and the body.
There’s a lot growing and evolving, but the goal is still simple: help people move better, feel better and live better.
Thanks to everyone who has supported Grow Young, booked a session, referred a friend or invited me into your workplace or event. I’m looking forward to what October brings.

Children’s book wisdom. The messages you can receive while reading to your daughter at night night time. Stay open, stay clear, and clarity may appear…🙏🏽
ACCESSIBILITY… Anything forceful is stressful. Trying to plug a circle into a square is impossible. The more forceful the greater stress.
We as humans want to get to the bottom line, we want that result, we want things quickly, and that process is internally stressful. My impatience and temper in my earlier life has certainly taught me quite a great deal about that. And I’m grateful. Slow down to calm down.
When you get on my table I am not going to drive a sledgehammer into you. I will communicate with you externally through conversation to then have greater access to communicate with you somatically. It is a process and one that cannot be forced.
If you are seeking bigger picture, if you savor process, if you are looking more long term, I am the therapist for you.
I have room this week and next to hold space for you and start unlocking that which is holding stress in your body to gain greater accessibility. 🙏🏽
Finding rhythm, discovering balance, exploring, playing…always playing.
I used to actively search for expanding consciousness as if it was something I didn’t already have. Attacking it from the cognitive perspective. But I learned you cannot activate the consciousness of the brain without exploring and activating the consciousness of the bodymind.
Functional movement and, more importantly, diverse movement, I have realized are the keys. The keys to the engine. The keys to activation. Activating the Bodymind feeds the brain and then the brilliant areas of the brain can then process on a completely different level. Many levels. Ongoing levels. The art of becoming.
If you are seeking relief and exploration I have space available for you this week. You can book online or reach out to me directly. I look forward to connecting!
Happy Monday have a great start to your week. 🙏🏽
