Kintsugi Healing offers a practical, step-by-step guide for compassionate healing and lasting change, helping people make sense of difficult or challenging experiences so they can move through them to create stronger and more confident futures. It also provides training for those who are supporting others and who are ready to develop their knowledge and understanding of trauma informed services.

Kintsugi Healing is inspired by the ancient Japanese Art of Kintsugi, literally translated ‘golden joinery’, which repairs precious broken pottery using a unique golden lacquer, highlighting breaks and honouring their history instead of hiding them.

Kintsugi repair* respects the origins of the pieces and their meaning for the owner. The process is thoughtful and patient, combining both art and science. The finished pieces are stronger than the original and have their own unique appearance as a result of the golden repair.

*NB While we use the precious principles of Kintsugi in all of our services, we only occasionally demonstrate or represent the actual Kintsugi repair process, for example in extended workshops, where that has been requested.
