Bio
My name is Kees Adema (37), and I founded THE SHIFT Ibiza. Over the past 15 years, I've drawn from my diverse experiences to create THE SHIFT. This includes challenges I faced as a Marine from 2004 to 2009, as well as insights from my education in Sport Science completed in 2014. I spent six years as a movement therapist in a military rehabilitation center, where I began to explore the connection between physical challenges and behavior.
Afterward, I pursued a Master's in Sports and Physical Innovation and taught at HAN University of Applied Sciences in the Sport Science program for two years. Then, my family and I embarked on an adventurous journey, selling our house, living in a camper, and exploring the unknown. This journey greatly influenced my personal growth, leading us to settle on Ibiza in late 2022.
My life has been marked by stepping outside my comfort zone, and it's this mindset that made me create THE SHIFT so you can experience this impactful experience yourself.
