1 Year of Kintsugi Spa: A Journey of Resilience, Gratitude & Growth

🎉 We’ve made it — Kintsugi Spa turns 1!

Thanks to all of you, Kintsugi Spa is celebrating its first anniversary this month.
This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without our amazing clients, supportive staff, family, and friends. I truly appreciate every one of you!


⏳ This past year wasn’t easy

Honestly, it was a tough journey.
I worked 14 to 15 hours a day, nearly every day, without much rest.
There were times when the results didn’t come, and I genuinely thought of giving up.

In fact… I even put the spa up for sale once. 😅


🤝 But your support changed everything

Thanks to the people I met along the way, something shifted.
I decided to give it one more try — with a completely new mindset.

I worked even harder (maybe too hard!), to the point I ended up in an ambulance once. 😂
Lying in that hospital bed, I whispered to myself:
“I’m sorry, body… I’ll take better care of you.”

That moment stayed with me.


👣 Small steps, big changes

But slowly, step by step, things started to change.

By the 9th month, I was able to hire my first team member.
And now, I’m preparing to welcome a new therapist to the team as we grow.

More and more clients are finding us — and staying with us.
Every visit, every kind word, means the world to me.


🌿 What I want to create moving forward

Kintsugi Spa is inspired by Canadian-style massage — deeply relaxing, attentive, and heartfelt.

My dream is to keep offering a space where you can leave the world behind,
where each moment feels like a gentle pause between reality and a dream.

I want to help more people feel safe, supported, and restored.


💬 People ask me: “Why work so hard? What are you chasing?”

The truth is… I don’t want much for myself.
Most days, I eat natto, rice, and tofu — and I hardly buy clothes.
So if you see me wearing the same thing often… that’s why! 😂

What I truly want is this:

A space where people feel safe, and warm connections that last.


💞 So here’s how I want to use what we earn

I want to:

  • Keep improving the services we offer to bring more joy to our clients
  • Support and reward my wonderful staff
  • Use what we receive to lift others up, support good people, and create shared happiness

That’s where my joy comes from.


🌈 For everyone who chooses us — thank you

Whether you’re a client, a team member, or simply someone who’s crossed paths with Kintsugi Spa,
I hope this place gives you something gentle, something good.

We’ll keep working with heart, and I hope we can continue to grow with you in our second year and beyond.

Thank you for being part of our story. 💛
