Well Collab Acupuncture

Well Collab Acupuncture is Matriarchal Medicine in practice: Public Acupuncture for your body, Feminist Facials for your face.

Both are designed to move energy, release tension, and reconnect you to yourself.

Obviously I’m playing around with some rebranding of things 🤪

It’s just that my two main and beloved services are seemingly so different on the surface that I would like to have a visual thread run throughout the business, from the overarching umbrella that is Well Collab down into the tributaries of more affordable group acupuncture, Public Acupuncture, and the facial wellness ecosystem, Facial Re:Cognition.

Everything that I do here is through the lens of Proof of Life®️ which is, in essence, a matriarchal framework. We learn pathology theory through the 5 elements of Chinese medicine, and Proof of Life offers the matriarchal flipside:

🗡️when perfection is the standard, you have to actively cultivate your (imperfect! by definition!) humanity
🔥 where hustle is normalized, emotional boundaries are what keep you intact
🌊 when self-trust gets overridden, trust in self and experiences gets restored
🌱 when lack of creativity is entropic… create ✨
🌍 when care is treated as indulgence, maintenance is radical self love

This flows through both Public and Facial, and Facial Re:Cognition is the playground where I do a lot of unbraiding and dismantling work that otherwise keeps people interwoven with societal norms that do them harm.

Feminist Facials do great before and afters… but they also get you in your body. Did you know your face could feel so good??

Face Forward groups teach you how to do at home facial gua sha, and teach your fingertips muscle memory about your own face in the process.

And the long awaited Foundations course will of course be dense with feminist theory (sorry! Can’t help it!) but will also give you the tools to do the manual work at home.

Marketing Public reminds me of my earliest business days. There I was, completely confident in the medicine that I had just spent four years learning, having previously lived the experience of what acupuncture can do for me and how it changed my life.

Surely my list of 100 friends and family would mean that my business would kick off to a roaring start!

😅 😅 😅 😅

Instead, what happened was a very rude awakening and a LOT of hard work that honestly, hasn’t stopped. I had to schmooze, meet people where they were, come up with the response, “Thankfully acupuncture isn’t a faith based medicine,” for when people tell me they “don’t believe in it.”

Eventually things picked up.

Truly, if you’re a good acupuncturist and you put the work in and you have a good bedside manner and you’re good with people and you’ve spent your whole life learning how people operate rather than knowing it intuitively so then you can use those learned skills to work with people in a way that builds your business, it’s really not that hard 😬

But I still think, “WHY ISN’T EVERYONE DOING THIS??” It helps you feel better on this cellular level that then ripples out to every facet of your life. Who wouldn’t want that??

So here I am, with a whole ass business, marketing a new one within it. It’s doing much better than it would be if I wasn’t a decade established in the area, but 😮‍💨 it’s work to get people through the door.

Thankfully, after you’ve come once, you’re in 🥹 and my workload significantly decreases. But I’ve been feeling similar feelings to the summer of 2014, that’s for sure!

I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching and experimenting around branding lately.

It highlights why it’s hard for me right now: Public is like, it’s own thing but it’s still under the Well Collab umbrella, and facials and my ego Facials Re:Cognition ecosystem (think: Face Forward gua sha groups, Feminist Facials, and OMG I THINK I WILL ACTUALLY PUBLISH MY AT HOME COURSE SOON) are the direction in which I’m taking private appointments.

But the overall space holder for everything is Well Collab. I used to use this phrase “ancient medicine for modern wellness” and I stopped because the word wellness sucks now 😅 But it feels so right, and not gonna lie I really like the cadence of it, and if I think about what I do, it IS about using ancient medicine for our modern bodies and minds, and that’s no small feat.

1) That pen did a lot of heavy lifting in this reel and 2) I chose for the reel cover the face I make most (could never do Botox, how does one express this sentiment 🤨 🤨)

Bonus points to me for saying “every now and then, put it in your mouth” lolz

But for reel 🤠 if jaw pain is something that you struggle with, consider my signature offering, the Feminist Facial.

My acupuncture facials are not typical cosmetic acupuncture, because I’m really focused on working on the underlying structures of the face.

Those are the muscles that make you, you!

And sis, they are stressed.

I love working the tension right out of them and giving people the experience of feeling what a stress free face feels like 🥹

Inside of me are two wolves.

One of them is an acupuncturist, one of them is a writer.

Both are auDHD and are on a journey to live more authentically.

Stay tuned ✨

Does he look familiar?? Mark is back!

Mark will be the acupuncturist you’ll see on Fridays at 9:30 and 12pm for Public Acupuncture!

After graduating from Pacific College of Health and Science (née PCOM) in 2008, Mark cultivated a successful acupuncture practice in NYC’s flatiron district until about mid March of 2020 🫠

Now, he maintains a small private practice in Sleepy Hollow, and we’re bringing him on to run some Public Shifts here at Well Collab in Ossining.

Mark has expertise in a broad range of conditions, so he’ll be able to handle whatever you come in for. To book specifically with him, choose Mark Gross as your practitioner on the online booking site, and it will bring you to his first available group.

My general attitude towards things.

01/31/2026

Acupuncture is rooted in three different philosophical and religious traditions: Daoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism.

And yet: that still doesn’t make it faith based.

Listen, I’m all for empirical research. I worked in a research lab at Rutgers, and I saw firsthand how data can be manipulated to make something look the way you want it to look. I also know that data can be rigorous, reproducible, and genuinely rooted in the scientific method, no fudging required. (And to be clear, the fudging I witnessed was all within the bounds of statistics.)

The scientific method is valuable. It’s powerful. It’s one of the best tools we have.

It’s just not the end all be all and it’s not the only way medicine can be created, utilized, and implemented.

Chinese medicine developed over thousands of years, as did many forms of folk medicine. Humans have been medicining for long before of what we think of as “modern medicine,” which emerged roughly 150 years ago with germ theory, anesthesia, and laboratory based diagnostics.

Antibiotics are only about 80 years old, but plant-based medicine and pattern recognition around how bodies respond to food, environment, touch, heat, cold, and herbs are as old as humans themselves.

Since 1918, the average human lifespan has nearly doubled.

Modern medicine is incredible.

Trauma care, antibiotics, imaging, surgery, and emergency medicine save lives every single day.

The good news is: you don’t have to choose.

You can take antibiotics and get acupuncture.

You can honor your family’s soups, teas, and salves and see your medical doctor.

You can value evidence and respect wisdom that came from thousands of years of careful observation.

Integration isn’t unscientific! Integration is mature!

And just because you can’t measure one system within the confines of another doesn’t mean it doesn’t work.

Substack essay 3 is live!

This series has been moving slowly on purpose:
a longer arc on fear, from a nebulous nature to suspicion, to now, individualism as a tool of isolation, leading to, you guessed it: more fear.

I wrote this while juggling taking in what’s happening in the world, maintaining a steadily growing work schedule, a complicated family situation, and some big personal realizations (including a recent autism diagnosis that I’m still digesting). Which, honestly, made the themes land even harder.

This essay is about seeing how we got here, and what changes when the meaning that we make of things stops living in isolation.

If you’ve ever felt like strength meant doing everything alone, this one might meet you.
