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.

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.

For the past two years, my in-clinic work has largely focused on my not-so-new-anymore service, the Signature Feminist Facial.

I’ve worked on hundreds of faces now, and while the before and afters are definitely very fun and provide some dopamine through the instant gratification pathways of the brain, it’s the cognitive and neurological health that have me all 🤩

It’s the actual dopamine. It’s the actual cleared pathways. It’s the clarity of thought. The better sleep. The enhanced immunity. The cleared congestion.

I started with facials post pandemic because I realized faces were so important to me as a touchstone for how to human, and as my work deepens with them I peel back the layers of how much of our humanity is integrally tied to our faces.

If you’re interested in the Feminist Facial, you can book an appointment online.

There are also two spots left for The fice, which is my you-get-a-discount-and-I-get-to-use-your-pictures-from-the-session-for-marketing-purposes that I run in January and July. Learn more about that at wellcollab.com/the-five.

And if you’re interested in learning the practice of Facial Gua Sha to do at home, there are still spots available for Face Forward this Thursday at 7:30 in Ossining!

I’ve been thinking a lot about fear lately. Obviously for this Substack series, but it’s been hard not to think about it in daily life, too.

Fear is real, and when it becomes constant, it changes how we human. It changes our brains.

So seeding matriarchy isn’t about denying fear: fear is important. Fear needs to be listened to.

What it IS about is refusing to let fear be the only emotional air we breathe.

01/12/2026

When I talk about patriarchy, I’m not thinking about it as a purely theoretical concept. I’ve watched it structure my life in real time:
How I grew up.
How my family was (and is) shaped.
How safety, worth, and legitimacy were (and are!) defined.

So of course I see it in my business, too.

I started Public Acupuncture with a simple premise: more acupuncture, at a lower price point, is a public good.

But something interesting has emerged.

Private pricing carries an implicit consent to depth. People arrive expecting structure, intensity, expertise. There’s a clear container.

When that barrier is removed, something unexpected can happen. For some nervous systems, “accessible” starts to feel nebulous: less defined; less containable; harder to trust.

Patriarchal medicine has trained us to associate value with cost, formality, and optimization so when one or many of those things are intentionally removed, suspicion slips in.

So what I’m seeing isn’t necessarily resistance to the idea: in fact, based on how wonderful the idea seems to people, this should be the breakout hit of 2026. But what I *am* seeing is hesitation at the threshold.

Curiosity, but it doesn’t feel fully safe yet.

For context: I’ve been practicing in this community since 2016. Acupuncture, meditations, breathwork, sound baths.
literally tends of thousands of treatments at this point. Entirely word of mouth.

Someone recently told me she booked after overhearing two people on Main Street raving about my work, which obviously made my whole week. 🥹

But we are deeply conditioned to believe that care must look a certain way to count, and Public Acupuncture simply (through not easily) asks something different of us.

That difference can feel surprisingly edgy.

Which is exactly why it matters.

01/10/2026

The idea behind this year long project is to point out patriarchy in the subtle ways so that you can connect it to the bigger things, but it’s hard to remain subtly theoretical this week.

The Schrödinger’s bear dilemma of 2025 was meant to highlight that women don’t know if they can trust men. That sure, it’s not all men, but that’s not the problem: the problem is not knowing.

Can you drive your car and not get shot in the face? Sure. But not always. So then if suspicion is sowed in your every day activities, life gets smaller and smaller.

That’s what fear does. It shrinks you.

And fear isn’t wrong: shrink, when there is threat. But when the threat is 24/7 like the news cycle, at some point you have to interrogate what systems gave rise to all the terror?

So it feels a bit silly to point out incremental patriarchy and seed matriarchy. But actually, those seeds are so important. Those seeds crowd out the invasive, harmful weeds. They strengthen the soil. They create a more nutritive environment.

And that can feel hopeless when everything seems so bad, but one seed at a time. Plant one seed at a time. And if we all do that, there will be beautiful blooms.

Join me two separate times in the next month for Face Forward: my gua sha circles where I teach you and your friends how to do facial gua sha 🌺

Join me in OSSINING on 1/22 and DOBBS FEERY (both at 7:30) for Face Forward 101, where we learn the basics of facial gua sha technique and you go home with a full face routine.

And sneak peak to the debut of Face Forward: 201 where we dive deeper into the relevant anatomy underneath your gua sha tool. In March, we’re starting with the neck. Stay tuned!

I published my second Substack essay today: Suspicion as Solvent & Discouraged Curiosity. It’s maybe a smidge darker, but I’m starting in the depths:

because y’all, fear is deeeeeeeeeeeeep.

And if we stay on the surface level of all that the Water element entails:

❤️‍🔥Lineage (rooted deep in millennia — you’re only here because your ancestors survived 🥹)
❤️‍🔥Fear as a mortal signal (for instance: in the US, homicide is the leading cause of death during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Not complications of birth. Not rare medical anomalies. Violence, overwhelmingly perpetrated by men known to the woman.)
❤️‍🔥Community as survival (we’re in this together)
❤️‍🔥Depth of curiosity (rooting us down, allowing for future forward movement)

…then we risk losing the plot. Keeping it surface level is indeed NOT the point, especially when it comes to something like fear.

Fear should be relegated to life and death situations, not how your boss treats you during a presentation. It shouldn’t be present in sending your kids off to school. Not for going to the grocery store or while you’re peacefully worshipping.

It is not meant to be activated daily in order to maintain hierarchy.

Fear should be about survival and survival shouldn’t feel threatened on a daily basis simply because the systems that organizes power creates predictable risk.

But they do, so human bodies adapt accordingly.

Seeing Patriarchy is about identifying how human emotions have been weaponized against you in your life so you can take action in transforming that whole experience into something life affirming: in this series, that’s matriarchy 🌀

It’s cold and flu and otherwise nasty virus season and one thing I know to be true as an acupuncturist is that people get less sick when they get consistent acupuncture 🦠 🦠

12/31/2025

For the last day of 2025, I’m offering up the 3/3 post related to my first Seeing Patriarchy/Seeding Matriarchy Substack, Fear as Atmosphere and Isolation as Architecture.

The idea behind the essays and the posts is to 1) see patriarchy 2) feel where it lands in your body and then 3) seed matriarchy.

Obviously the visual ✨ vibes ✨ have changed, because I’m an acupuncturist and not a graphic designer 🤭

And while I’m also a writer, I’m still an acupuncturist and business owner by trade and profession, so alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the other stuff I do is to satisfy both my monkey mind 🐒 and my deep need to experience coherence and understanding 🧘‍♀️

And then once I understand (or am in the process of understanding), I want to share: as an acupuncturist, as a writer, as a human who believes in matriarchy.

Here’s to 2026 🥂

12/29/2025

My end of year roundup is here and I actually can’t believe I averaged 8.7 facials a week in 2025 🤯 not only that, but nearly 60 people attended my Face Forward groups 🥹

✨ I’m looking forward to what the face work that I do will evolve into in 2026 ✨

Think:
More facials
More group learning
ONLINE learning
Data gathering (specifically around my facials and cognitive health)

I started facials as a special interest at the intersection of patriarchal beauty, physiological aging, acupuncture + health, and the evolutionary importance of faces for humanity.

2026 will continue the journey…
