How I met him:
I met Jason when he was my professor in the Masters of Science Traditional Oriental Medicine at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in Manhattan.
We soon found that we were both RKC kettlebell instructors, and the bond ensued.
How he’s changed me:
Jason is beyond brilliant. His framing of words is ultimately careful, and he keeps a very open mind with his care of patients and strength clients.
I had the honor of being one of Jason’s patients, and his herbal prescriptions were life altering in the best of ways.
His acupuncture style is intense and quite effective, and you feel ultimately cared for by a brilliant and warm therapist.
I’ve had the honor of attending a few strength seminars with this incredible athlete. He is proof positive that strength comes not only from size, but from impeccable technique, focus, and discipline.
I’m honored to announce that he’s also now treating patients at Catalyst SPORT, helping us move up one more notch as the best place to be helped in Manhattan.
