Nicki's bio
Nicki survived abuse as a child, which led her to marry the wrong person.
Her life took her to Japan, where she thought she would leave all the history of abuse behind. Unfortunately, life does not work that way. Through suffering, she found personal growth and in the meantime, she started her own business "Tokiotours" in 2013 and had a girl in 2014.
In 2020 she went bankrupt due to covid and separated from her husband. In 2021 she moved back to her home country in The Netherlands where she tried to rebuild her life. All the trauma she suffered as a child was waiting for her when she came back, compounded by the separation from her husband.
Through intense therapy she was able to get herself back together and, now that her business is flourishing, she is slowly starting to regain her footing.
