Kimberly de Braconier
In the summer of 2018, I took over the reins of the Body & Mind Academy adventure.
As a mother of three, I have always been passionate about cultural integration, education and a holistic approach to learning, one that gives an important place to sport, art and science.
After studying Agricultural Engineering in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, I went on to pursue an artistic education at Central Saint Martins in London. I began my career in the field of online educational publishing, first working as a scientific illustrator within the Education department at Dorling Kindersley Publishing. I then joined Premium TV (NTL), where I created animations for some of the very first online educational games and contributed to the development of their early digital educational content.
After settling in Zurich, I fully embraced life as an entrepreneur. I worked as a designer across a variety of industries, creating logos, visual identities and websites. At the same time, I continued to draw, illustrate and paint, developing personal projects as well as portraits and illustrations for books for both children and adults.
In 2019, I founded B&MA GmbH, born out of Body & Mind Academy. The company remains deeply rooted in family values and is dedicated to offering services and activities designed around the needs of children and their parents.
Today, B&MA is a dynamic platform that draws on the skills and experience of a passionate team to offer children a wide range of sporting, creative and artistic activities. Our aim is simple: to give children the opportunity to explore, experiment, develop their curiosity and, above all, enjoy learning and discovering new things.
Our programme includes tennis, offered both throughout the year and in camps, as well as skiing, breakdancing, arts and crafts, creative activities, construction, and opportunities to discover nature and science. Whenever possible, we focus on activities that are rooted in the local community and on collaborations with local partners.
Whether I am creating a new brand identity, developing a creative project or organising sports and educational activities for children, I bring the same energy to everything I do: curiosity, experience, creativity and, above all, a lot of heart.
