HEY, YOU

Here’s the thing

One thing that’s really clear — both as humans and as helpers of humans — is that how we exist in our bodies is of primary importance. This is called embodiment and it’s the basis into which all health is rooted.

But plot twist: modern life is geared towards popping us out of our bodies. So at the root of all we do here is our work in the practice of getting you back into your body.

That can look like a lot of different things.

What People Say…

Testimonials

I've been getting acu with her regularly for over a year. She has helped me in so many ways -- alleviating acute pain, stress, skin issues, and PMS symptoms. No matter what we're focusing on, I notice a difference almost immediately and always feel relaxed and rejuvenated when I leave her office. I can't wait to start adding Feminist Facials to the mix. Don't sleep on Chryssa -- enjoy an acu nap on her table instead ;)

I’ve barely been able to swallow fast enough to move all the freed snot from my head. What kind of voodoo is that, lady??

my anxiety since the treatment Friday is MUCH better. Thank you for your magic!

Transfer is a go. Magic electricity ❤️

I cleaned out my laundry room haha tackled some bills, did dishes, I’m like an energizer bunny 🤪😂

I felt that although I was improving, my recovery was stagnating. After one acupuncture session with Chryssa, I could tell my body was different (in a good way). After two sessions, I was no longer so extremely fatigued at the end of each day and my other long covid symptoms were improving again. After three sessions, I’m feeling better than I have in months — not just less sick, but starting to feel well again.

because I did twice a week acupuncture and now I still come weekly, I haven’t gotten sick: not even once. I know I can credit acupuncture with keeping me little-kid germ-free.”

but after years and years of wrist pain, sometimes excruciating, I have been pain-free since you treated specifically for the myelin sheath.

and I won’t be convinced otherwise.

my brain’s been the clearest it’s been in weeks today! Thank you for all the head needles!

Acupuncture has helped me with both physical and psychological stressors in palpable ways.

I signed up for a series of Feminist Facials because I didn’t want to get botox, but this is so much more than just liking the way I look better. This is me being reminded of who I am again.

and i’m certain that wouldn’t be the case without Chryssa being right by my side during my whole ivf journey. until she came on board, I had no success but once I started working with her, my numbers began changing and my transfer was successful. I didn’t hesitate to go back when I knew I wanted to go for a second baby, and i’m so glad I did.

Freebies

Hey there!

we’re mark & chryssa

We’re just your typical mom and pop acupuncture joint — if by typical mom and pop acupuncture joint, you mean we both work to help people unravel layers of social conditioning to get back to their authentic selves, sometimes by radically changing their lives and shedding old skins to more embody who they truly are.

That’s the typical definition. Probably.

Earth-Centered Medicine

This mirrors the philosophical idea of “as within, so without” — as within meaning what’s going on inside of you, so without meaning what’s going on outside of you.

It’s not a perfect theory, but it’s a lens you can use as a tool to help center where you are and how your environment affects you: for instance, do you surround yourself with people who let you stay petty, or do your people challenge you to make yourself better? Do you exist in an environment that smothers you, or is it one that allows you to thrive?

Consistency is not exciting, and why routine gets a bad rap.

A small way around this can be to engage in what's called microproductivity: where you break larger tasks down into smaller, more manageable bits.

When you do this, you reduce overwhelm and increase your odds of not procrastinating yourself into oblivion.

Boosting Immunity

As an acupuncturist, I’m going to break down the spirit of what “boosting” immunity means. No, it doesn’t mean making your immune system so robust that it starts attacking itself: it means looking at your living self as the system that you are, acknowledging the interconnectedness, and using those facts as basic tenets of living in your body before reading any further.

I’ll wait.

Breathwork

Breathwork at Well Collab Acupuncture is not:

Easy, lol. Because it is work, and I don’t want you to think that you’re breathing softly and mindfully for 10-15 minutes and that’s it. There are meditations like that; this just isn’t one of them.

Using acupuncture to increase your capacity to hold two opposing views at the same time.

Western medicine consistently questions or is ignorant of the basic principles of Eastern medicine, and yet insists on studying from its own perspective.

When people say “I don’t believe in acupuncture,” I often respond with, “That’s ok, because it’s not a faith based medicine.”

Microdosing on Presence.

So even the ways we ground ourselves — cultivating yin, which is the flip side of yang — are actually, pretty ironically, still very yang in the framework of their nature.

Hour long meditations. Using relaxing melody apps on your phone. Hour long relaxing melody apps on your phone… while you get acupuncture.

"Wellness"

Like anything where you learn, acupuncture treatments have a layering effect.

Treatment one is lesson one with a teacher.

Treatment ten is lesson ten.

You are much smarter after ten lessons than you were after one, believe me.

Signed, your teacher.

That Time We Almost Adopted a Costa Rican Dog... Together.

In 2016, Well Collab Acupuncture started as Acupuncture of Tarrytown: a collaborative project between two best friends who had weathered living together in a railroad apartment in Brooklyn and figured… we could do pretty much anything together, after that experience.
