Mission

Golden Door is a St. Louis-owned empowerment and resource collective focused on women’s health. We share a strong vision of creating space for women in a respectful, safe, and peaceful environment. In addition to creating a safe environment for women, we also strive to create a safe space for all genders.

Golden Door’s view is each client’s healing as a holistic process. We have an integrative approach to healthcare and see healing as a collaboration between different therapies. We know that it takes strength and courage to ask for help and sometimes the hardest thing to do is to take the first step. We are here to provide the door for you. As a collective, we are committed to a safe space where celebrating our health, growth, and community enables healing of the mind, body, and soul.

What’s with the name?

Sometimes Golden Door can also be translated as Golden Gate. It is an acupuncture point on the side of the foot. When a person feels weary, stagnant, or fearful in their journey of life; this point is needled to direct them towards the door. The door holds an abundance of resources - it is labeled Golden because it is of everything good, beautiful, energizing, revitalizing, and healing. It truly brings a golden, spiritual quality to everything. Passing through this door advances, renews, and inspires a patient on their spiritual path. The door leads them closer to their soul purpose, and their connection with the Universe.
