Real results

Clients who've overcome their fear of flying

People working with Jason at Fly Without Fear have gained confidence, reduced anxiety, and successfully flown after years of avoidance.

I hadn't flown in 12 years. Jason combined flight simulation with real understanding of my anxiety. I flew to visit my family last month without panic.

The aviation education part was key for me. Understanding how planes actually work made the fear feel manageable. Jason knew exactly how to address both my mind and my knowledge gaps.

I expected talking about my fear to help a little. But combining the flight simulator sessions with the therapy work was transformative. I booked a trip across the country.

Jason doesn't just tell you to breathe and relax. He teaches you why you're anxious, shows you the facts about aviation, and lets you practice in the simulator. That combination actually works.

I was skeptical about the simulator helping. But practicing takeoff and landing over and over, while Jason explained what was happening, gave me real confidence. My next flight was completely different.

After working with Fly Without Fear, I don't dread flying anymore. I still feel nerves sometimes, but they're normal travel nerves, not paralyzing fear. Jason gave me actual tools that work.
