Proof of Life®

At Well Collab Acupuncture, the Proof of Life® ethos is more than a concept: it’s a way of being. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and feminist theory, this framework invites you to embrace both ancient wisdom and modern rebellion. By challenging the narratives imposed by patriarchy, misogyny, and other systems of control, Proof of Life® offers a pathway to reclaiming your vitality and individuality.

The Proof of Life® framework is built around five elements— Earth, Fire, Wood, Metal, and Water — each representing essential aspects of the human experience. These elements guide the way we nurture, express, and ground ourselves in our bodies. Through a balance of relaxation and strengthening practices (inclusive of all the acupuncture modalities practiced, courses offered, and group events), Proof of Life® reconnects you to your body’s innate wisdom and helps release the tension that patriarchy uses to keep you small.

We live in a world that tells women their worth is tied to unattainable standards of beauty and perfection. Patriarchy profits from tension, fear, and disconnection — and women suffer. But under the Proof of Life® framework, perfection is rejected in favor of embodied divinity: the unique, imperfect, and deeply powerful truth that lives within you. Matriarchal health teaches us that strength is found through regeneration and relaxation, not constant striving on the hamster wheel of unattainable and inhuman ideals.

Whether you’re here for a Feminist Facial, another form of acupuncture, online courses, or group events, Proof of Life® is present in everything we do. It informs every breath, every touch, and every invitation to return to your body. Our courses, talks, and treatments are all designed to help you explore this framework and live fully in your own story. Join us as we build a community where vitality and embodiment are the new normal.
