In Portuguese, “Pérola” means “Pearl.” The company was named “Pérola” because the story of how a pearl is created reflects the vision behind the practice.

In the depths of the ocean, a pearl begins as an irritant, a grain of sand, a fragment of discomfort. The oyster doesn’t reject it. Instead, it responds with patience, layering it with a substance called “nacre”, which transforms its pain and adversity into beauty.

• Resilience isn’t about being untouched by hardship, it’s about transforming challenges into growth.
