Behind the Name
In Japanese culture, there’s an art form called kintsugi, which means “golden joinery.” It’s a method of repairing broken pottery. Rather than disguise the damage, the potter highlights the breakage by adding in a type of golden dust mixed with lacquer within the cracks. Inspired by kintsugi, Golden Wellness views emotional wounds not as flaws to hide, but as golden seams that highlight resilience and transformation. Therapy is an invitation to bring your pain, your story, and fractures, and in time, they will evolve and bring a new glory to your identity. Just as gold is refined to shine with brilliance, the journey to wellness is a process of discovery and growth. Trauma never diminishes one’s value but adds new dimensions of beauty, making each vessel uniquely radiant.
