Mental, physical and spiritual healing where Western medicine failed

Seeing Jason in conjunction with other supports has been a life-supporting staple in my healing process across mental, physical, and spiritual lines. He is knowledgeable, patient, and skilled at what he does. Jason has been able to use his intuitive and kind approach with Chinese Medicine to address my concerns where western medicine has failed me. I always leave feeling better than when I came in, and I can sense that he is deeply invested in my healing. I highly recommend Jason as a healing practitioner.

Gentle needling with emotional and spiritual healing

Over the years, I have visited this incredible healer for myself or my husband. Jason Blalock has exceptional skills in acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. His profound understanding of holistic healing and his remarkable (gentle) needling technique have significantly improved my husband’s well-being. Unlike other practitioners we’ve consulted, Jason combines his deep knowledge with a unique ability to listen and provide tailored care. His approach goes beyond the physical aspects, embracing emotional and spiritual healing. His serene treatment space adds to the therapeutic experience, making each visit a huge step towards your health and well-being. Avoiding medications is ideal and Jason’s dedication to natural remedies is wonderful. I think his ‘craft’ is a gift to patients. I wholeheartedly recommend Jason to anyone seeking a health transformation!

A long-standing serious condition, and less emotional baggage

Jason has helped me understand and mitigate a serious condition I’ve had for a long time. I greatly appreciate his ability to target and treat the right thing at the right time. He’s shown me how to have agency over my body, increase awareness, and decrease emotional baggage.

Body, mind and spirit addressed

I’ve been seeing Jason since 2002 for various health issues. He has a very gentle affective needling technique which is important for me since I’m not overly fond of being needled. I feel that over the years, Jason has added depth to his practice and I’m very confident he will be there to help me as issues arise. I truly feel like my body, mind and spirit are all addressed when I see Jason.

Insomnia – sleeping without sedatives

I have been seeing Jason for insomnia, and what a difference he has made! His acupuncture provides an immediate soothing effect that helps me sleep that night and days beyond. The herbs that he has given me help me to relax enough to fall asleep. Jason takes the time each appointment to discuss physical, mental, and spiritual progress. Thanks! Other doctors simply prescribed sedatives, but no pill was strong enough to knock me out. Rather than knocking me out, Jason’s herbs allow me to access a place of deep safety and allowance, which is essential to the process of sleep. I call it spiritual medicine, since it is so drastically different from typical pharmaceuticals or even recreational/psychedelic options. The herbs have helped me to feel held by the present moment, not only allowing me to sleep, but expanding into an experience of complete connection with the universe.

Depression and anxiety alongside therapy

I came to Jason seeking help with depression and anxiety. I have prior therapy experience and a pharmaceutical medication list pages long. I wanted to try something different in conjunction with my current therapy program and have been interested in acupuncture/diet’s ability to help my situation. Jason is a Pro at providing insights into the mind/body’s reactions to thoughts about everyday events. The work we have been doing together is uncovering years of junk built on top of an inaccurate belief system. I would recommend Jason to anybody experiencing dis-integration of any part of themselves. He has been patient and compassionate with me during this process, and will continue to work with him for as long as I need to.

Recommended to my meditation community

Jason is amazing at what he does. I recommend him to all my Vedic Meditation students and community.

Depression and anxiety – coming off antidepressants

Before I started seeing Jason, I’d been saying I wanted a spiritual teacher. So when I went to see Jason for an issue I was having with my ear, it came as a surprise to me that he sort of became my spiritual teacher and has been instrumental in me coming out of a major bout of depression/anxiety.While the herbs didn’t really agree with me (something about them – maybe it was placebo – gave me very bad anxiety), the needles and our weekly talks have helped me calm down my nervous system enough that I’m now successfully coming off of my anti-depressant, Remeron.He taught me a different meaning of meditation and how to use it in my life. He taught me about the “second arrow” in Buddhism, which is the feeling or thought you have after experiencing an emotion. For instance, feeling guilty or frustrated about having anxiety about something. I realized I was doing that all the time to myself and Jason helped me realize it was unnecessary and I could just let it go.Honestly, he’s helped me love, forgive, and accept myself for maybe the first time in my life. And I’ve been to a lot of therapists over the last 2 years, so that’s saying a lot!Besides that, though, he helped put my shoulder back together, which I was fully planning on having surgery on. And when I’ve had other tweaks and pains (I’m a rock climber), he’s helped them go away quickly.My period has changed for the better since I started seeing him, and I’ve only been having a fraction of the amount of breast pain I used to have before my period.But most of all, I have a lot of really good days now where I don’t have intense anxiety, and I can attribute that very much to Jason’s guidance, encouragement, and acupuncture. So thank you for that, Jason. I’d recommend you to anyone.

Recurrent miscarriage – healing physically and emotionally

Can’t say enough good things…
Recently moved to the area to seek treatment for recurrent miscarriage (with IVF in mind). Jason taught me that western medicine isn’t always the answer. I have only been seeking treatment (acupuncture and herbs) for 3 months and so I am not a success story YET.. I can tell you though, I feel a MILLION times better. Sessions are not only healing (physically) but also mentally and emotionally. I have learned that health is an emotional and spiritual journey. I can’t thank Jason enough!

Healing on physical and energetic levels

Mindful, compassionate and educational
my sessions w/jason are always mindful, compassionate and educational. it’s imperative for me to understand what is happening–not only on a physical level, but an energetic one as well. i continue to find immense value, healing and wisdom in working together.

Physical, emotional and spiritual care

Grounding and nurturing care
jason continues to provide the most grounding and nurturing care for my needs–physically, energetically, emotionally & spiritually. i am grateful for his wisdom & compassion, as i continue on my healing journey.

Mood, energy and deeper emotional healing

From the very 1st session Jason was able to laser in with where to begin in bringing me into more harmonious balance. Between the acupuncture and the herbal formula my mood, energy and overall well being has improved immediately and significantly contributing to deeper emotional healing. I have seen many health care practitioners in the past 28 years and he is far and above one of the best!

A lifelong struggle with stress

Jason has been instrumental in helping me deal with a life long struggle with stress. He is smart, caring, and was able to read me like a book. I had no exposure to Chinese Medicine, however am now a believer if you have a proficient practitioner such as Jason. I also sent my husband who has been very happy.

Anxiety, low mood and insomnia

Great Beginning: sound table is amazing
Once I got the paperwork filled out, Jason was insightful, direct without being rude, and empathetic throughout the intake interview. There is never enough time for everything, but the main points of my issues were teased out. I felt immediately better than I had in 3 weeks after the acupuncture session, and I am actually looking forward; the sound table is amazing. I am confident as we go forward we can solve the issues of anxiety and blues and insomnia, and get rid of the Western meds. Namaste.

Severe anxiety addressed on all levels

Anxiety addressed on all levels.
I have been struggling with severe anxiety for a while and didn’t quite know it was anxiety. Jason has helped me on many levels to understand my experience and provided many resources both as treatments in the office, and things to do at home. He truly listened to my explanation and helped me to see things in a different way. The sound-table & acupuncture helped immediately. Other resources and just being “heard” are life changing. Thank you Jason. So grateful to have found your expertise.

Hot flashes, sleeplessness and anxiety

Hot Flashes
“Hot flashes” sound so benign…Remember your last 102 degree fever? Intense sleeplessness, anxiety; reality fogged in a heated veil. I tried bio-identicals hormones, and FDA hormones felt too risky. Jason’s careful application of herbs acupuncture changed all that. In less than two months, Jason found an herbal formula that made me feel healthy and alive again. I can sleep, I rarely experience flashes. And I feel like a more wholesome, healthy individual.

Insomnia, arthritis and depression – off antidepressants

Competent, helpful, and compassionate
I have been seeing Jason Blalack for several years for a variety of complaints including insomnia, arthritis, and depression. Instead of the knee replacement the western medical world predicted I would need by now, I am still hiking, biking and active, and I haven’t been on antidepressants in years…I much prefer taking the Chinese herbs Jason gives me. Thank you Jason!

Treats the whole person

Treats the whole person
jason continues to provide me w/the healing i need to thrive, physically, energetically and emotionally. he treats the whole person, not just the “symptoms” which i bring into the office. at the end of the day it is all intertwined, and jason is incredibly skilled at addressing all of the nuances for optimal well being.
