MY STORY
My life was completely changed by the powerful experiences I had.
Hi, I’m Nienke, the founder of Kanami. As an enthusiast, I am fascinated by the transformative power of healing plants and mushrooms. My personal journey began from a deep inner urge to address my own challenges with
ADHD and social anxiety.
Determined to find ways to reduce or at least change my perspective on these obstacles, I set out to find answers and alternative approaches.
During this quest, I discovered the wonders of psychedelics. Over the years, I have personally experienced the transformative effects that these plants/truffles/mushrooms can bring about. They have helped me expand my awareness, experience deeper connections with myself and others, and develop a profound appreciation for the complexity and beauty of the world around us.
What struck me was that many existing smartshops focus primarily on recreational use and “fun tripping,” whereas there is much more potential in the development and growth that psychedelics can offer. This I thought was a waste, and it inspired me to found Kanami. Here I wanted to create a safe haven where everyone could go with their questions and where the emphasis was on personal development, not just the pursuit of enjoyable trips.
