“Angst voor de ‘wasmachine’ en grote golven zit mijn surfontwikkeling behoorlijk in de weg, daarom heb ik bij Kim aangeklopt. Ik heb met haar gesproken over deze angsten en manieren aangereikt gekregen om er iets aan te doen. Aangezien ik geen wintersurfer ben, moet ik nog even wachten om het in de praktijk te brengen en te zien wat de effecten zijn. Ik heb er iig alle vertrouwen in na de fijne sessie. Bedankt Kim! ”

“This winter I had three personal online fear coaching sessions with Kim. In between the sessions, I went surfing myself to practice with the tips she gave me, and the coaching made a huge difference! I feel more confident and calm in big waves and I’m enjoying these sessions much more now. You can really tell that Kim is very passionate about helping others conquer their fears. She has some solid techniques and a very structured plan for the coaching sessions. I very much enjoyed the process and am now enjoying the result of every surf session. Thank you, Kim!!”

“Hi Kim,
How are you? Just wanted to let you know that my week in Sagres went so well! I am really grateful for everything you brought me as it helped a lot! The 1st couple of days were a bit complicated as I had to push myself out of my comfort zone but with all the breathing and visualization exercises it went well in the end. After 1 week I can really feel a huge improvement and I have even been able to surf actual waves. I am not 100% relaxed yet but I am way further than I have ever been and I have the feeling that it will keep on improving and enjoying :).
Again, thank you so much for everything! Being able to surf again adds so much to my life :)
Wish you the best,
”

“I found the sessions with Kim pleasant and educational. She has helped me a long way to gradually make my mindset more positive and less anxious. It’s nice to have tools that I can use that I otherwise would not have been able to think of or have had during a regular surfing lesson.”

“ “I really enjoyed my anti-fear, surf fit and apnea training with Kim. Kim is a lovely person, super motivated and fit. A great example. Kim had prepared informative material for us to take home, which was a plus. The surf fit lessons in the morning were great and she even adapted some exercises to my needs, which was great.
Mario, who carried out the apnea training seemed super knowledgeable and was very friendly and I liked his calming vibes.
I also enjoyed the meals prepared by Luuk.
The entire workshop was very inspiring and motivating. I can recommend it to everyone who would like to do something against his or her fears when it comes to surfing.”

“ “I learned to think of surfing as a comprehensive experience that I can improve through nutrition, physical and mental preparation. Thanks to it, surfing is even more fun!”
