Her mission

The beginning :

How it started

Kim grew up in a hard-working entrepreneurial family.
Working hard was part of the identity.
And for a long time, she believed success was a good income, a house, a career that looked right from the outside.What she didn't have was herself.

‍"For years I hadn't truly felt myself. I called it living as a walking head."

‍Through what she now recognises as addictive behaviour, she had mastered survival. Until a years-long search inward brought her somewhere she hadn't expected: home.
‍
That journey, and everything it cost and gave, is the foundation of everything she does now. She has since guided over a (genuinely) thousands people to that exact same place.
‍
The place of soft inner strength. Where you are exactly enough.

The lineage :

It runs in the family
‍
All four of her grandparents and her parents were in the business of connecting people. Film in 1962, her grandparents brought knowledge from the world to as many people as possible through the American Film Library. Her other grandparents repaired televisions when most homes didn't have one yet.

Kim followed that same current. She began her career building mobile networks nearly thirty years ago, at the very start of that revolution.

Back then, technique was the way. Today, AI has the tools.
The computers can do the thinking.
And so we return to what was always the point: human connection.
We use our brains again, for creation.
‍
Kim is another word for horizon.
She has always known where she was going.

The pattern :
An early adopter, not an innovator

Kim is not someone who invents. She finds what works, as one of the first, and brings it to as many people as possible.

She was studying the link between hormones, food, and movement over fifteen years ago, long before anyone was talking about it.

She took her first ice bath in 2014.
Since 2016 she dove deep into breathwork, writing a full educational programme for Laudius, one of the Netherlands' largest online educators, and becoming the breathcoach behind over 600+ certified students.

In 2019, her father passed away suddenly at 62. Kim and her mother took over the family business, a company her grandparents had built in 1962. She stepped in, held it together, and kept it going with dignity. It was a rich journey and it clarified everything. Her core business was people, not technique. So in 2020 she made the leap, the company is sold and well cared for. And now she finally and fully comitted to n-ice.world.

Now she is the first to bring the 8th sensory system back into conscious awareness. Interoception, our ability to sense the internal state of our own body,  is the foundation of self-awareness, empathy, and nervous system regulation.
It is not new. But in her hands, it feels renewed. And it changes everything.

The work :

What NICE World creates
‍
‍In n-ice.world Kim translates all of this into three things: immersive experiences known as KPI moments, training and education. Plus a physical spaces where people can work and feel at home. For one day or a whole week.

She designs moments where people actually feel the science, not just understand it.
Where a room full of strangers starts to feel like they belong together.
Where leaders remember they have a body.
Where professionals rediscover what no algorithm will ever replace.

She also creates. Films. Audio. Immersive experiences, coming soon to Spotify and as live events.
Not spiritual practice.
Embodiment practice that may generate spiritual experiences.

Backed by brain-body science, polyvagal theory, breathwork, and a lineage of people who always knew that connection was the point.

The moment :

The world is finally ready

The AI wave is cresting. The hunger for humanness is rising.
And Kim has been ready for this moment since 1978...

‍Smart minds need sensible experiences.
This is the art of being human.

There is a place for you here.
There always was a place for you here.
‍
Whether you are building a team, designing an event,
or simply ready to remember who you are.
