About the Bearapist

Fort Lauderdale's very own healer, with a soldier's discipline and an Eastern touch.

Hey there! I'm Carlos Blanco, better known as Fort Lauderdale's very own Massage Bearapist. Yes, that's “Bearapist” – because who doesn't love a good pun, especially when it comes with amazing muscle relief?

I'm a native Floridian and proud Army Veteran, having served eight years before swapping my combat boots for a calling in healing. Turns out, helping folks relax is way more enjoyable than basic training!

I've been truly honored to be voted “Best Massage Therapist” for 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 by both SFGN and OutSFL. My secret weapon? Besides my charming personality, I'm currently advancing my studies towards a Doctorate in Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine. This means I bring a unique blend of Eastern theory to everybody I work on, giving you a massage experience that's both deep and uniquely informed.

With a natural “Fire-type” personality (don't worry, I won't set anything ablaze!), I gravitate towards and excel at Fire & Hot techniques. Think deep, relaxing muscle release that's so good, you might just float off the table.

I truly believe massage is a personal journey, and finding the right fit for you is key. I've trained extensively to perfect my craft, and all I can promise is my absolute best with every session.

Thanks for choosing me to help you unwind. Now, let's get you relaxed and enjoying that massage!
