About Geoffrey Stekelenburg

Bio

Hi, I'm Geoffrey.

Co-founder of Mental Bytes, originally from the Netherlands, currently living in Iceland and still getting used to the darkness. And the light. And the wind…. Lots of wind…

In my everyday life I'm a bit of a nerd, and I say that with full pride. I spend a lot of time thinking about philosophy, getting lost in Middle Earth, rolling dice in tabletop games with friends, and chasing good stories wherever they show up. Books, music, conversations at the kitchen table at midnight (with or without Guinness). If there's depth and a bit of heart in it, I'm in.

I'm a musician, poet/writer, and I like to draw. A certified peer support trainer. And forever exploring expressive arts. I contain multitudes. My friends have learned to just go with it…

At Mental Bytes, I show up as someone who genuinely likes people. The real kind, the ones with complicated feelings and stories they haven't told yet. I'm a trained peer, which means I'm doing my own work, navigating my own hard seasons, and learning, slowly and imperfectly, how much it matters to have someone who actually listens. We're all somewhere on that road. I'm here to walk a bit of it with you.

So if you ever want to talk, share something, or just need a space where you don't have to have it all figured out, I'm here for that.

Geoffrey
