welcome to my corner of the world

Located just north of NYC, Well Collab Acupuncture offers holistic cosmetic acupuncture, small-group acupuncture, and embodied healing in two Westchester County locations, and virtually, wherever you are.

All offerings are guided by the Proof of Life® framework: a matriarchal, body-based approach to wellness that reconnects you with rhythm, regulation, and the root of who you are.

Public Acupuncture

a new model of care

here’s the thing

How we exist in our bodies is everything.

That’s embodiment, and it’s the foundation of real, lasting health.

But here’s the plot twist: modern life is designed to pull us out of ourselves.

Out of rhythm. Out of sensation. Out of truth.

That’s why everything I offer — facials, private and public acupuncture, courses, and care — begins with one sacred task:

Getting you back in your body.

Not as a concept, but as a lived experience.

Hey there

Meet Chryssa

I’ve been an acupuncturist for over a decade, and yes, I treat pain: sciatica, tendonitis, migraines, fertility challenges, the whole spectrum. But the longer I do this work, the deeper it gets.

My real specialty is seeing the pattern beneath the symptom.

Whether we’re working with needles, gua sha, or reflective conversation, I’m here to hold space for your return to yourself.

I’m best known for fertility acupuncture and the Signature Feminist Facial: my own method of facial acupuncture that blends structural precision with nervous system repair. It’s safe for pregnancy, migraines, and anyone who’s ever been told their face is a problem to fix (it’s not).

This work is sacred. And deeply personal. Just like your body.

Gotta put that English degree to good use, so believe me when I say that that I try very hard to only send out newsletters that people want to read. Besides, getting some facial tension release bonus content? Don’t mind if I do.

Needle, Meet Nervous System.
Needle, Meet Nervous System.

Acupuncture’s analgesic effects aren’t just energetic: they’re cellular. From calming inflammation to modulating neurotransmitters like dopamine, adenosine, and serotonin, acupuncture works by helping your nervous and immune systems recalibrate. This post breaks down the science behind pain relief: vagus nerve activation, cytokine suppression, and why the location of the needle actually matters.

Seasonal Support Through the Year.
Seasonal Support Through the Year.

Your health shifts with the seasons. Public Acupuncture works with those changes, helping you move from spring’s surge to winter’s rest with steadiness and ease.

Stories from the Room

Every chair holds a story: stress relief, migraine recovery, fertility support, maintenance care. Public Acupuncture makes space for them all, without anyone saying a word.

Public vs. Private Acupuncture.
Public vs. Private Acupuncture.

Same medicine, two pathways. Public care is your steady heartbeat; private care is your focused tune-up. Together, they keep your system strong, adaptable, and resilient.

Healing lasts longer when you repeat it. Regular Public Acupuncture turns symptom relief into prevention, helping your body hold its balance instead of chasing it.

What to Expect in the Circle.

Six chairs, arranged for privacy. No talking, no noise… just stillness. Public Acupuncture is designed so you can arrive, rest, and let the medicine do its work in complete quiet.

Why Public Acupuncture Works
Why Public Acupuncture Works

Public acupuncture isn’t a one-time fix: it’s a rhythm your body learns. The more often you show up, the more your nervous system remembers how to settle, until “better” becomes your everyday.

This is matriarchy, baby.
This is matriarchy, baby.

Matriarchy isn’t chaos; it’s circulation. It’s building a life and business that actually hold, rooted in care, values, and continuity. From letting go of spaces that don’t fit, to launching Public Acupuncture, to creating rhythms that protect my body and my work, this is how I’m running a business in a high-rent, late-capitalist world without feeding the machine. We deserve to be well, to be supported, and to build things that last.

What if releasing facial tension was an act of rebellion? This final post in the Facial Re:Cognition series explores how feminist facial ritual dismantles the grip of perfectionism and invites you back to your radiant, rooted, deeply human self: structure and all.

Blog 2 of 3

This post explores how the five elements of Chinese Medicine function as relational tools (not aesthetic labels) within feminist facial work. Instead of diagnosing what’s wrong, we ask what’s been held, why, and how structure can be reclaimed through presence, not performance. This is matriarchal beauty: not a new standard, but a new relationship.
