Needle-free acupuncture is one of many healing methods adopted and refined by renowned TCM practitioner Steven “Doc” Blackstone. Its origins lie in the esoteric practice of Japanese Toyohari Style. In their endeavor for perfection the Japanese took over 2,500 years of acupuncture tradition from Chinese teachings and literature and turned it into a powerful, yet gentle art. They accomplished the feat within a span of less than 400 years.
People don a quizzical look when they hear the term “needle-free acupuncture”. The general populous associates acupuncture with needles. Doc has honed his skills to a point where he can keenly examine the movement of energy for diagnostic purposes. Likewise, he can expertly guide it throughout the body with the intention of healing- without need of traditional instruments.
The average acupuncturist would have a person lie in an isolated room for a specific amount of time while acupuncture needles placed in certain areas of the body attenuate the movement of energy without any direct guidance. Multiple patients at a time are handled in this fashion. I liken the situation to leaving a pot on the stove unattended.
The optimal application of needle-free acupuncture methods requires more time in direct contact with the patient than Chinese acupuncture methods. Doc Blackstone focuses on one person at a time and customizes therapy sessions to best suit the needs of the individual. As the body gravitates to a renewed level of wellness each therapy session changes accordingly.
Expertise in Traditional Chinese Medicine and extensive knowledge of other healing modalities led to the evolution of a cohesive new practice- Sacred Healing Tree. The healing model includes techniques and theories that extend beyond ancient Chinese and Japanese healing traditions. Sacred Healing Tree therapy embraces knowledge of medical concepts and technology that was not available to practitioners in ancient times. The cornerstone ideals and strategies have been meticulously revised over the course of the last 30+ years. Only the most powerful and effective healing methods throughout history remain intact.
As a child I found countless hours of enjoyment unraveling and solving puzzles of every variety. The more challenging the puzzle, the more compelled I was to solve it. That extraordinary interest combined with an innate curiosity of nature and how things work inevitably sparked my passion for deciphering the puzzles of human nature; specifically, the development and treatment of illness.
I dedicated decades to learning everything I could about the healing arts. I strived to extract every relevant bit of information from a multitude of healing modalities. My studies eventually encompassed topics ranging from Toltec teachings to advanced Western medicine. From numerous healing modalities I plucked the most useful and cohesive techniques and principles.
I am immensely grateful to have been coached by many open, patient and compassionate teachers who have offered insight into various disciplines and humbly pointed the way to self discovery.
In my endeavor to master a variety of key disciplines I found myself embracing one crucial and inevitable discovery.

“I see it as a personal challenge to do what people say can’t be done.”- Doc
I booked an appointment right away and have not been disappointed in doing so. Steve has been the ONLY treatment to date on my pain management [and other things such as scoliosis, nerve problems, chipped bone sticking out under my skin in finger, low blood volume, horrific menstrual pain, and the lidt goes on] that has been successful in helping to alleviate my daily sufferings for lengths of time. When I moved out of San Antonio TX to England for 3 years, I would travel every 6 months to get my pain lowered.
Steve old website gave a great overview of the things he can help with and I go to him and highly recommend his services as no Western (Traditional) Medicine has been able to help me as much as Steve has been doing since May 2014!
Thanks Steve!

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese healing practice that dates back over 2,500 years. The Japanese perfected its methods for an additional 400 years developing it into an esoteric art. Over the last 20 years Doc has extracted needle-free acupuncture methods from JapaneseToyohari style acupuncture and incorporated them into an amazingly effective therapy regimen.
Doc’s Approach: A “One Up”
Accurate diagnosis is paramount. Doc will devise a therapy plan and discuss it with you.. Then, initiate the most ingenious treatment you’ve ever had.
In addition to the dismissal of needles from the acupuncture process Doc has adopted a one-on-one approach to therapy. No multiroom office complex where your time is divided between six or eight other people. One patient. One room. One comprehensive therapy session.
As the healing process takes place during the course of therapy, the treatment is modified accordingly. Each person receives the maximum amount of stimulation required to achieve their health goals. As such, every therapy session will be a different experience, unlike chiropractic or physical therapy where the same techniques are applied repeatedly.
Where herbal formulas would work better Doc may recommend a high quality Chinese patent formula.
Don’t Worry. You Are Making the Right Choice.
