Nilo was extremely patient with us and detailed in her explanations and sharing of her reflections. A wonderful experience.

I attended a transformative workshop at Kintsugi Art Studio, led by the exceptional Nilo. This remarkable experience felt like a therapy session disguised as a practical Kintsugi technique. Nilo's patience, empathy, and listening skills empowered participants to find meaning and healing in their stories. The workshop's value lies in Nilo's ability to glue these stories into a cohesive whole, fostering a safe space for support, acceptance, and growth. A must-attend for a truly transformative experience.
