A happy, healthy summer full of fun? Get to know Kiek!
Out of sight but not out of mind: our Kiek will always be an Amayzer. And so we follow her closely in her new adventures. In a few days (August 1st it is) the kickoff of her latest project, Knowledge with Kiek, is coming up: Summer Edition, an Insta course in which she, together with you and many experts, provides that delightful dose of energy, love, and fun. Whether it's about finding joy in cooking, living healthier, dancing, or feeling better in your body: Kiek and you do this together.
Kieks, wow, the energy is bursting from it. What kind of course is this?
‘In this Summer Edition, we celebrate summer and being a woman. Life is serious enough already, I wanted to come up with something where fun takes the lead. And so we did: from August 1st to 6th, we will work on our bodies and a positive mindset in an accessible way, so that we are all sure to be inspired and activated. Although you can also pick up the course entirely at your own pace. Think of it as a gift to yourself. One thing is for sure: moooovement. Because that’s what we want.’
What does that movement look like exactly?
‘At 08:00 we start the day with a Kiek’s Gutenmorgen Check In, because we know: the real high vibes always start at the beginning of the day. And at 20:00 we will end the day together in Kiek’s Good Night LIVE, a live session with some expert(ise). We dive into the world of sex with Eveline Stallaart, we dance to Beyoncé tunes (with a movement coach who showcases the power of the female body), cook with a Chef Surprise in my backyard, and end the course week with a restorative yoga session to return completely to ourselves and of course sleep wonderfully.’
Have you left the hardcore fitgirl phase behind?
‘I think of the saying: ‘Flat stomach, had it already, didn’t suit me.’ HAHA. Oh well, I am and will always be that bon vivant. So glad I left the time when I practically lived in the gym behind me. No, that wasn’t for me. It took a while for balance to come into play, but oh so glad that ‘she’ is here. I love movement, but in a loving way. And it’s my summer too, so I won’t skip that Aperol Spritz on the terrace. Yesss, I’m going for a happy, healthy summer full of fun.’
Let’s not forget those emigration plans to Spain. Are you on your way to your dream life?
‘Is it weird to say that I’m already living it? That’s how it feels. But a life in the Spanish sun is really the cherry on top. I can already see it: working on our own time, an afternoon dip in the pool. This combinación is possible, I know. My boyfriend and I are ready for a new reality. More sun, nature, manchego cheese, and especially space around us. And so we are going to chase that dream. I believe that you can shape your own reality.’
What’s the plan for viva España?
‘I’ve been dreaming for years of organizing retreats, in a down-to-earth way. A place in the sun where women can enjoy themselves, relax, and feel what really matters in life. My boyfriend is quitting his office job soon and is going full throttle for his passion: cooking outdoors. In short: we are going to find a Spanish casa where all this will come together.’
Where can we sign up?
‘Haha, the retreats are on their way, I will fully focus on that from September, so I can organize the first edition early next year. First Knowledge with Kiek Summer Edition, because that deserves all the love and focus now. Until August 1st!’
