Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese artform that involves revitalizing broken pottery using lacquer/glue mixed with gold. Rather than aiming to restore broken pieces to their original form, this turns them into beautifully unique pieces of art that is better than before in terms of both form and function. Kintsugi symbolizes a quality of “antifragility”—a term that describes a system in which growth occurs not just in spite of, but because of the obstacles and hardships it faces.

Navigating through pain, injuries and other obstacles that life throws at you is not easy, but you have the potential to let it transform you into an even stronger version of you. You may not end up the exact same 'you' as before, but you can emerge from these experiences as a more resilient, robust, and empowered version of yourself because you are an antifragile system. My goal is to support and guide you through that journey by your side.
