About Mindfit

Mindfit was founded in 2014 by sisters Hilde and Janne Ekeberg Amundsen – with a shared goal of helping more people find their inner strength and have a better everyday life.

The tool is based on both personal experiences and solid professional knowledge.

The idea for Mindfit came after Hilde went through a life crisis that clearly showed how much thought patterns can affect the quality of life. She experienced that small mental adjustments could make a big difference – but she lacked a tool that could support her in everyday life.

Janne, a a clinical psychologist with extensive experience and knowledge from working with trauma and crises, contributed her professional expertise. Together, they developed Mindfit – a tool that not only lifts your mood but also provides you with concrete techniques to build self-esteem, reduce stress, and shift negative thought patterns.

Mindfit is designed to fit into your everyday life – so you can face challenges with more clarity and calm.

The background of Mindfit

A life crisis became the turning point

The idea for Mindfit came after Hilde went through a tough period characterized by negative thoughts and low self-esteem. She needed help to change her thought patterns, shift her focus, and set boundaries – but couldn’t find any tools that truly worked for her.

Eventually, she learned techniques that gradually changed the way she thought about herself and life. She discovered that it is possible to feel better – with small, conscious steps. It’s about training your thought patterns, just like you train your body to become stronger.

When it became clear to her how much of a difference small adjustments could make, she thought: “What if more people could access this – if it worked for me, it could help so many others who need it.”

Hilde was so inspired that she wanted to create a tool that could help others in the same situation – and brought in her sister Janne, who has valuable professional knowledge and experience from working with people in crisis.

We’ve always aimed for Mindfit to be both personally and professionally grounded, so the tools we provide are based on methods we use ourselves and trust in our own daily lives.

Built on both personal experiences and solid professional knowledge, Mindfit is built on techniques from cognitive therapy, positive psychology, and EMDR – combining Janne’s psychological expertise with Hilde’s personal experiences.

Janne sees in her practice that many people have to wait a long time for help and that not everyone receives the support they need. Many also want to manage on their own.

That’s why Mindfit is designed to mirror some of the questions and methods a psychologist often uses in the first meeting with a client – and gives you a tool you can use on your own – whenever you need it.

I recommend Mindfit to both friends and patients in my clinical practice as a psychologist. It can help people through trying times or with minor problems such as difficulty concentrating or motivational problems in everyday life. For people who struggle with psychological problems such as anxiety, depression or burnout, Mindfit serves as an excellent support tool outside of therapy appointments. Good therapy depends on the patient’s own efforts, and the app is well adapted to this particular aspect of treatment. The app also contains other helpful tools that users may be curious about and want to learn more about, such as mindfulness, EMDR and cognitive therapy.

My positive comments about Mindfit are simply because I have great faith in the app. I’ve looked at and considered many apps over a period, and think their app stands out from many other apps in a positive way. I have confidence that the app can be very useful for many people, because it gives users a perspective on their coping skills while helping them to feel understood and recognized in relation to problems that users record in the app. It this way, it actually does serve as a “mini-psychologist,” as the developers like to say.

The Mindfit app is a tool that has been very helpful to me in my everyday life. It helps keep me focused on the positive when I have faced demanding challenges. I always have it with me and can take it out for support when the need arises. It’s a place where you can keep track of your good experiences and remind yourself that you are on the right track. If you don’t remember to record things right away, you get always a little reminder when your phone is switched on and the app shows up.

In addition to having the app on my phone, I have also “liked” Mindfit on Facebook, where I have really enjoyed what has been posted. There are lots of good, useful links to articles that are helpful to anyone and everyone who wants to improve their quality of life.

Great app Excellent. I love the ideas behind this app. I went to a psychologist many years ago and what he showed about keeping a diary to change my thought patterns is basically contained in this app.

This app is really the answer to many problems that I’ve had my whole life. I often put myself in the “doghouse” and regret so many strange things I say and do to others. I often think, I am so odd … But now I have reversed this trend by focusing on good things. I have tried psychologists, group therapy, courses, pastoral counseling, friends, self-knowledge, self-blame and shame… I have thoroughly examined myself so many times—but without getting anywhere. Mindfit doesn’t tell me how great I am, how valuable I am … or tell me who I am supposed to be. It just helps me to help myself to see that I am good enough – as a friend, an employee and human being.
