Welcome!

​

My name is Esther Grootenboer and I am a Dutch psychiatrist and dialectical behavioral therapist.

I have founded Hummingbee Academy  because I want to share my knowledge on wellbeing with a larger audience. In the past 20 years of working at hospitals I have come to the conclusion that what I teach patients with severe mental illness to improve their quality of life, actually applies to us all. This website is for anyone who wants to improve their mental and physical health and wants to reach their full potential.

​

My methods include aspects of cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectics, Mindfulness, and my knowledge as a medical doctor. My philosophy on wellbeing is a holistic one: our body, mind and surroundings are connected. By improving one area in our life we can influence other areas as well. 

​

In the coming months I will be publishing courses on Mindfulness, stress-reduction and other topics that can help improve your wellbeing, help you make choices in your life and reaching your goals. You can also book a live lecture or workshop, for example as a team at your workplace. And, if needed, I can help you in the form of online 1-on-1 coaching.

​

Together we can make a difference in your life!
