We created Mindfit because
we needed it ourselves
Mindfit started with a need. A wish for a place to pause when stress,
self-criticism, and negative thoughts begin to take up too much space.
FOUNDED IN 2014
About Mindfit
Mindfit was founded in 2014 by sisters Hilde and Janne Ekeberg Amundsen, with a strong desire to help others feel better about themselves.
It started with Hilde. After a life crisis, she felt constantly exhausted and drained. Gradually, it became easier to say yes and show up for others than to set boundaries for herself.
Stress, negative thoughts, and self-criticism began to take up more and more space. She lived on autopilot and never quite felt like she was enough — no matter how much she did.
She searched for something that could help her in everyday life — a tool she could actually use. But she couldn’t find anything that truly resonated.
Eventually, she learned methods and techniques that helped her rebuild herself. Step by step, she found her way back to everyday joy — using the same techniques you’ll find in Mindfit today.
Together with Janne, a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive experience working with trauma and crisis, she created Mindfit.
The app is based on methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Positive Psychology, and EMDR — combining professional knowledge with experience.

The background
The goal of Mindfit is simple
To create a personal, professionally grounded tool you can actually use in everyday life.
Mindfit isn’t about fixing everything at once.
It’s about noticing what’s working, understanding your reactions — and practicing small adjustments over time.
There are no quick fixes.
But there is support for those who want to take small steps — and gradually find more calm, joy, and inner strength.
Start with just a few minutes a day.
Mindfit helps you:
- shift focus from self-criticism to self-confidence
- understand your reaction patterns
- regulate stress and take intentional pauses
- be more present in the moment
- build self-worth and feel steadier in everyday life
We know that small steps — done consistently — make a difference.

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.
