Hi, my name is Blake and I have been working at Massage and Body since October of 2010. I have been a licensed massage therapist since June of 2008 and and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I love coming to work and helping people with their stresses and pains. I received my training from the Omaha School of Massage Therapy in Omaha, NE.

I hope to see you in the future and thank you for considering Massage and Body for your therapeutic needs.
