integration
the deep work.
These are the sessions that give Well Collab Acupuncture its stellar reputation in transformative life work and the acupuncture that Chryssa is most known for.
We begin in conversation — naming emotional, structural, or ancestral patterns — and then use acupuncture and hands-on release to support the shift already underway.
Known for helping with grief, burnout, life transitions, and the hard-to-name stuff that lives in the body.
For established clients only.

specialty
the outliers.
From pre-IVF transfer to your adolescent’s first acupuncture appointment, these appointments help through your growing family’s transitions.
Here, you’ll find pre- and post-IVF treatments, labor preparation acupuncture and body work, and adolescent acupuncture.
Since acupuncture is well known to improve clinical pregnancy rates (CPR) and live birth rates (LBR), we consider ourselves on-call for both new and established clients with these appointment types.
Please contact us to be considered for review as a new adolescent client.

facial re:cognition
feminist facial
the in-person work.
Imitation may be the highest form of flattery, but at the end of the day, there’s only one Feminist Facial
This is the original Feminist Facial — the one with a cult following; the one that changes faces (and perspectives).
A deeply structural, emotionally attuned in-person treatment that blends facial acupuncture, fascia release, lymphatic flow, and ritual.
Known for its visible lift, remembered for how it makes you feel: unmasked, softened, and unmistakably yourself.

facework
the virtual work.
Built out of the deep desire of feminist facial clients who wanted deeper work, FACEWORK is a one-on-one virtual session where your face is read like a map: not to pick apart what makes you unique (and patriarchal beauty standards call imperfect), but to piece you back together and show you your inherent, whole beauty.
We reject the distortions of patriarchal beauty standards and instead recognize the face as a site of lineage, tension, and lived experience.
Through a thorough intake and guided visual reading, you’ll receive a custom gua sha and facial exercise flow designed to support structural change, plus ritual prompts to anchor what’s ready to shift.

foundations
the at-home work.
This is where you learn to work with your own face through a better understanding of what shaped it.
Foundations is a self-paced course in structural facial repatterning through the five elements. It starts with a deep feminist re-education and goes on to include gua sha, facial exercises, and relaxation techniques.
You’ll be guided to feel, see, and support the systems beneath your skin, without falling into the trap of perfectionism or performance.
It’s not self-care. It’s structural repair, ritualized.

mirrorwork
mirror reading
the symbolic nudge.
A single card pull using the Proof of Life® spirit deck, with a personalized Mirror Reframe PDF to support your next right step.
Small, potent, and often uncannily accurate. Can be booked alone or added to any session.
No, these are not psychic readings! But they are meant as backdoor practices in the foundational skill set of self-trust.

mirrorwork
The talking work.
The verbal portion of Integration Acupuncture, now offered on its own.
You don’t need a plan. Just a sense that something’s shifting.
Mirrorwork sessions follow the thread of what’s present — emotionally, structurally, energetically — and reflect it back with clarity and care. It’s a conversation, a strategy session, a space where things start to land.
If you’ve been circling something but can’t quite name it, this is where the naming begins.

elemental arc
the deep work.
This is the work people feel before they know they need it.
The Elemental Arc is a three-month private container for women in motion, be it through identity shifts, lineage repair, emotional unraveling, or energetic expansion.
Each month contains an intensive week where we meet daily through virtual sessions, with ongoing voice/text support in between those deeply reparative weeks.
Each month is mapped through the five elements, guided by spirit deck pulls and anchored with personalized Mirror Reframe PDFs.
This is intimate, catalytic work. You’ll be held, witnessed, and invited into coherence — over and over again.
It’s not for everyone. But if it’s for you, you’ll know.

FAQ
What does acupuncture help?
Broadly, it helps each and every bodily system: circulatory, cardiovascular, digestive, excretory, endocrine, exocrine, integumentary, immune, lymphatic, muscular, nervous, renal, urinary, reproductive, respiratory, and skeletal systems.
If you’re looking for more specifics, check out this page which has a detailed list from the World Health Organization on what acupuncture has been proven empirically to help with. Anecdotally, we have plenty of testimonials from satisfied customers, largely having to do with the life-changing manner in which acupuncture has affected them.
Do you offer any discounted treatments?
For some modalities not being submitted to insurance for reimbursement, we have packages of 5 and 10 at 15% and 20% discounts, respectively.
Packages expire 5 weeks after date of first usage.
Where do you stand on working with western medical practitioners?
Article 160, Section 821 1.1 (b) of NYS Education law requires any acupuncture professional to advise you to consult with your physician regarding the condition for which you are seeking acupuncture treatment.
But it’s not just Article 160. We think you should do this, too! We work in tandem with your doctors to provide you with the best possible healthcare, which means we are always encouraging of our clients to make sure they are seeking care for any and all medical concerns, and making sure they are taking advantage of all preventative screening that western medicine provides.
Each medicine has its strength and its blindspots and we aim to fill the spaces that allopathic medicine tends to leave, just as we cannot provide the bloodwork, imaging, and pharmaceutical scripts that your MD or DO can help you out with.
Do you take insurance?
As of September 1, 2024, we once again do in-house billing for any insurance plan that has out of network coverage that extends to acupuncture.
For benefits check, please book the appropriate “insurance-covered” appointment type. Alternatively, you can fill out this form.
Does acupuncture hurt?
The tools of our trade are indeed needles, but they’re not the needles of your doctor’s office. Some acupuncture is completely sensation free — people won’t even know their needles are in! — and other sessions are necessarily full of different sensations. Sometimes there is pain, but more often, it’s the sensation of the energy moving in your body. That can feel freeing, that can feel uncomfortable, that can feel curious. If it’s painful, always let us know.
What’s your cancellation policy?
As a a small and local business, we value our clients and aim to provide the highest quality of care. In addition to providing stellar treatments, we cultivate relationships.
In order to do maintain that balance, be a functioning business, and know we’re doing the best work we can, Well Collab Acupuncture strictly enforces its 48 hour cancellation and rescheduling policy.
If violated, you will be charged in full for your session. (If the appointment is a package appointment, it will be considered used; if the appointment was supposed to be covered by insurance, the card on file will be charged for a regular acupuncture appointment.)
In order to cancel or reschedule, we would need you to:
utilize the cancel/reschedule option in your Jane patient portal or
48 or more hours prior to your appointment, call or text. If you don’t catch a human answering the phone, you must leave a message. We cannot assume that a missed call could be about a cancellation or rescheduling! As much as we appreciate that people think we practice magic, we actually don’t, and that means we also do not read minds. Bummer! or
email us at hello@wellcollab.com
We aim to provide you with ample opportunity to reschedule or cancel prior to those 48 hours through automated email reminders and text messages!
Why a rescheduling policy?
Here’s an example: if a patient calls same day for a Monday appointment and reschedules to Friday (emergencies happen!) as per 48 hour rescheduling policy, but then cancels that Friday appointment online within 48 hours, then this is simply a workaround to the a same-day cancellation for the Monday appointment.
While the subsequent rescheduling doesn't violate the cancellation policy, it does violates the rescheduling policy.
We obviously have this in place for a reason! Thank you for understanding that while we love helping you in ways that sometimes make us feel more like an integral part of your world rather than business owners, we are still business owners and this is how we pay all our bills!
