The ‘Understand Your Partner’ coaching session was a real eye-opener!
Signe Fjord, You’re absolutely amazing at putting yourself in the other person’s shoes and seeing the situation from different angles – something I really needed. It felt like getting a new pair of glasses, and suddenly our conflicts made so much more sense. That kind of insight is pure gold in a relationship! I walked away with concrete tools and new perspectives, and I’ve already used them with my partner – and they work!Paul – after online coaching session April 10, 2025.

Tapping showed up on my radar about fifteen years ago but never made sense before I booked a session with Signe. My take-away was this: tapping is acupuncture without the needles and elicits a state of calm and ease in the face of difficult situations. Signe has mastered the craft by practicing the technique in her own life for years. Like a wizard, she has boiled it down to its very essence. When we talked about the problems I wanted to address, there was no hesitation. She framed things beautifully and taught me a way of working through them. A burden that had been on my shoulders for years lifted in a half hour. As Signe said, just because something has been difficult for a long time doesn’t mean it can’t resolve very quickly. There is freedom in that, and I appreciate Signe tremendously for showing me how to use this powerful tool.

Signe Fjord I have to thank you again for taking the time to share your knowledge of tapping. Until this challenge I had never tried it. Last night when I was caring for my granddaughter, she was inside when I went to get something out on the back deck. My husband followed me and didn’t realise that when he shut the back door, it had deadlocked closed!!
He had my keys in his hand, but I only have a key for the front door. As I ran around the house with them I thought: My husband had closed the front door, did he lock the screen door? I don’t have a key for that!!! I could ring my daughter – no she’s putting on a show!I could smash a window – which one? The screen door wasn’t locked, my key worked, my granddaughter was still sitting playing, unconcerned.My husband left for the show, and I was left with pounding heart, weak knees and a horrible feeling of terror.
Then I remembered tapping.
“Even though I was very scared, I’m ok.
Even though my heart is pounding, I’m ok.”
By the time I was into the second round, my sweet little granddaughter was grinning at me, wiggling her shoulders, and dancing.
Then she started laughing at me.
I was ok.
And I thank you Signe.

I suffer with anxiety, so I organized a one to one Tapping session with Signe Fjord and oh my God it was amazing!
She is extremely patient and helpful when explaining the method. She explained it to perfection and guided me and answered all my questions and provided me with all the tools I needed for it to work.
After my session with her I felt light and calm.
And the best thing is that I can use this method whenever I need it! It was just such a great experience and Im ever so thankful to have found it.
Thank you Signe for the work you do and how you help people every day. If anyone is going through any difficult battles, I strongly recommend to book a session with her. She is amazing.

“I haven’t felt anxiety since Wednesday. On the way home, I almost ran over a squirrel but managed to swerve at the last moment. I was shocked and immediately started tapping, and I quickly felt better again.”

If you want to learn about tapping or are wondering if tapping might be right for you, I can highly recommend Signe Fjord. I have many years of experience with tapping and have practiced it on myself. I truly love Signe’s approach to tapping, as she has made it very simple and practical to understand. Signe is highly skilled at explaining and can teach you the method in a short time. She is also very intuitive and can easily tune in to your needs.
Best regards,

I am a man who does not believe in hocus-pocus. Over the years, I have sought out several traditional psychotherapists for a lingering issue from my childhood, but they just let me ‘sit and talk’ without any real effect. So when I heard Signe Fjord recommend tapping, I thought, why not give it a try?
During the treatment, I was relieved that I didn’t have to think about or talk about the problem but could instead get help accessing the deep-seated emotions that were the real cause—and letting them surface and dissolve. The dramatic ‘wow’ effect did not fail to appear, but more importantly, even now, six months after completing the treatment, I still feel lighter and am a very satisfied former client.
Since my constant inner conflict was resolved through the treatment, I now experience much more energy. Before, I would be exhausted and sad in the evenings after a whole day of ruminating thoughts and a nonstop sense of guilt and shame. Releasing these difficult emotions has been a precise, deeply effective, and gentle treatment. Tapping worked for me, and I would recommend it to anyone.

I just wanted to give some feedback on the treatment I received from you a couple of weeks ago regarding my performance anxiety related to my thesis process. It’s pretty wild: about a day and a half after the session, when I could still feel the fear to some extent, it actually completely disappeared!!!!
It’s a truly miraculous experience, and it’s REALLY AMAZING to now feel that it’s the adult, mature part of me that is in charge of my thesis.
So THANK YOU for your help!!!! This means so much to me 🙂

Intense, rewarding, and exciting hours—that was my experience meeting Signe Fjord, whom I have followed online for several years. The personal meeting was a gift and a great joy.
Signe is clear, competent, knowledgeable, loving, and compassionate. She has a great sense of humor, and the teaching felt effortless and fun. She ensures that the theory is fully understood before moving on to practical learning—Bravo!
I arrived stressed and left in bliss. And even two days later, I am still blissed and blessed.
With gratitude,

“I have attended several lectures and workshops with Signe Fjord. She is open, spontaneous, and works very intuitively in a language that is easy to understand. She is highly focused on ensuring that each participant gets the most out of the teaching.
There was a light and pleasant atmosphere in the room, time flew by—and afterward, to my satisfaction, I realized that I had learned things of great importance to my life. I still use something I learned from Signe almost every day.”

“I have worked a lot with healing personally and with several very experienced practitioners over the past several years, and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Signe. What is so apparent is that Signe works with her clients from such a warm, joyful and compassionate place. Signe works so quickly on topics and issues, moving through them with grace and efficiency without getting caught up in details or aspects that are less helpful to focus on. I like to do lots of work on my own, but save the tough stuff for a session with Signe, and it amazes how fun it is to work through it with her. I couldn’t recommend sessions or courses with her more highly!

During the past 20 years I’ve attended more than 40 different workshops/courses on healing, self-development and spirituality and I’ve been fortunate to study with many wise teachers. However, I can honestly say that no other course I’ve attended was half as effective in enabling transformation in self and others. And we had fun! Every day was great! Your playful style and “nothing-is-difficult” approach meant that we could all relax and move smoothly into transformation. Yes, there were occasions when we recovered ancient memories and surfaced deep emotions, but the program was managed so gracefully and sensitively that I never felt at risk. What a delightful difference from some other courses I’ve attended! Once again, thank you for the extraordinary gift of being a participant on the best course of my life. I know that my life will be richer, sweeter, happier and richer as a result of this course. And I achieved my goal: thanks to your teaching and coaching. Signe, you are a wonderful teacher: highly committed, very well prepared, straightforward, non-pretentious, un-dramatic and focused. You kept your eye on the big picture throughout the course and you kept all of us smoothly on track. Great job!! It’s a huge bonus that you are great fun to be with. Your playfulness and generosity brightened up the space and the time flew by. We loved all the “little” things too – like how you brought us chocolate, served us popcorn and even matched your clothing to the daily themes. I shall highly recommend you: Signe Fjord – Super Teacher! With Love & Gratitude Niale McLoughlin. Business coach and trainer. Singapore

Signe is tough in the best way possible. When I have my quick Skype sessions with her, after just 15 minutes of sparring, I walk away with concrete tools, a smile on my face, renewed energy, courage, and food for thought. These sessions have been worth their weight in gold for my business.
She makes sure I stay on track, gain an overview of the situation, and strips away my limiting beliefs so they appear for what they truly are: limiting! The best part is that she somehow always offers a concrete alternative perspective.
I work with coaching and mentoring myself… but even a mentor needs a mentor! Signe is the right one for me because she knows her stuff, has walked the path herself, and meets me as an equal right where I am.
‘…What she can achieve in just 15 minutes…!’ Fantastic! THANK YOU!

As a mentor/coach, Signe skips the wasted time! We land smoothly at the core of the issue, with all the warmth you can imagine—because something happens in that loving yet confronting way!
Signe thinks big and acts on every possible opportunity in the direction you want to go. She empowers you to boost your focus on what you truly want.
I’d say she makes you want to ditch dead ends and take full responsibility for your own path so that you actually make your next move. Signe is so inspiring and persistent that it almost turns into a game! 🙂
Thank you, Signe!”

“I had a session with Signe over the internet using Skype and Signe immediately put me at ease when she called me, she even found me after I had given her the wrong contact details. I was very impressed by her professionalism and happy caring nature. Signe was able to get to the seed of every issue that I brought up and was very loving and thorough as she helped me to clear old programming and to accept new thought beliefs deep down into my soul.
I had tried many other methodologies to clear this particular issue and had never had any long-term success, I would think I was healed and then would find the same issue rearing it’s head over and over again. To be honest it had become a ‘habit’ for me. After a single 1-hour session with Signe which she lovingly perservered with, even when I was ready to call it a day, I was feeling as though I had been reborn, I was exhausted, releasing tears, ready for a nap and feeling hope and a very unfamiliar sense of peace and serenity, this was over a year ago and I am thrilled to proclaim that this particular issue is no longer an issue for me, in fact sometimes I even revisit this area to check that it is no longer a problem for me and I am always happy to realise that I am free.
I guess what Signe really does is free us from ourselves and our old pains, heals us when we aren’t even sure where a seed might be truly coming from and brings us to a place of growth where we can move on joyously with our lives, I will forever be grateful to Signe for the miracle she worked with me. Thank you Dear Signe”

Hi Signe, I have been thinking of you and wanted to share with you my journey since we last had contact. I attended your workshop in September 2006 and later had a phone session with you in October 2006. Both of those experiences let me towards workshops in December. Needless to say since then my life has had some amazing experiences, challenges, turn arounds, miracles and many many blessings. In particular a wonderful healing and reconciliation with my very special daughter. The healing that has taken place between my daughter and myself is truely amazing and certainly beyond my wildest dreams or expectations.
Your phone consultation opened many doors for me. Relationships can be so painful and extremely stressful to work with. We had both worked towards a reconciliation for many years but with all the best intention and will, the pain we both carried just wouldn’t completely lift – and then all of a sudden, it was like we both closed the door and walked out into the sunshine onto a field of flowers and a gentle breeze just blew away all the hurt. A true blessing and miracle took place – is the only way I can describe it. Thank you very much for your role and part in my blessed journey. Love and wishes.

“It was a very calming conversation.”
Maria, phone call on October 9, 2018.
Signe Fjord helped me with my campaign for the Regional Elections in 2017.
I achieved a significant increase in the number of votes and became the first alternate, which was a great result considering that both elected candidates were doctors. This was especially remarkable given the general decline for parties in the blue bloc.
The result was largely thanks to Signe’s efforts.
Not only does she complete the agreed-upon tasks to full satisfaction, but she is also proactive. Signe independently comes up with suggestions and input for solutions and new initiatives. She takes initiative on all fronts.
Signe is always cheerful and has a very positive nature. She has boundless energy and is deeply committed to helping and doing her best.

I am also in the process of expanding and relaunching my online club for healthy families: Klub Æblebørn.
My revenue has increased significantly over the past two years, largely thanks to Signe Fjord’s coaching.
Signe sees me and my contribution to the world with remarkable clarity.
She pushes me to take action on my ideas, turning them into real results!
Signe amplifies and strengthens my confidence in what I can do and contribute to the world.
She encourages me to take responsibility for my message, cutting away the unnecessary so I can communicate my vision with absolute clarity.

Hi Signe,
Thank you for the chat. It was really lovely and very motivating to talk to you! I wish I had written down everything you said because there were just so many golden nuggets.
I’m writing this to confirm that your tips inspire, motivate, and, most importantly, they work!!
I am absolutely convinced that I had a relatively smooth start to motherhood because I had read your blog and thoroughly prepared for all the practical aspects.
This is just a quick message to let you know how much your work means to us solo moms!

Feedback on a one-on-one phone session from Norway, February 26, 2016.

The day I contacted Signe Fjord, my 9-month-old son had woken up during the night, and I couldn’t find his pacifier. In fact, I couldn’t find a single pacifier anywhere, and I ended up warming up milk to get him back to sleep.
I’m not naturally a homemaker, and being a solo parent has been a real challenge for me—especially trying to keep everyday life running smoothly. Even though I’m home all day, my house looks like a mess. I can barely find my keys or phone when I need to leave the house.
I had been following Signe’s work for a long time, and I finally thought—enough is enough, let me get some tips and tools to create more flow in my daily life.
As a concrete example, Signe suggested that I buy five new pacifiers and a large jar and place it in a central spot for storing them. She instructed me to always put the pacifiers there so I would always know where they were.
Yes, it sounds incredibly simple, but I just hadn’t thought of it myself because all my focus had been on keeping myself and my wonderful son going. We are doing great now, and by working with Signe, I have learned a lot about structure, planning, and balance in daily life.
It feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Now I think, “I can do this” instead of “Oh no, how am I going to manage?”
I highly recommend Signe’s coaching for solo moms—in fact, I think all parents of young children could benefit from her systems and programs. Life is meant to be fun.

Dear Signe,
I am very grateful to have spoken with you. I now feel truly well-prepared to begin the insemination process. You have shown me important things that I wasn’t even aware of myself.
It has been absolutely amazing.

Dear Signe,
When I first called you, I felt like I was standing on a 10-meter diving board, too afraid to jump. You met me exactly where I was emotionally, and it felt as if you climbed up and stood right beside me. We calmly and lovingly talked through all the different aspects.
I felt truly comfortable, seen, and understood!!
You also made me aware of all the things I didn’t even know I didn’t know and gave me direct shortcuts.
After just three sessions with you, I feel completely clear about my decision to become a solo mom.
I have everything in place—my ovulation tracking, donor choice, support network, and treatment clinic.
Thank you!
I’m so relieved to know that I’m not the only one who finds it overwhelming to undergo treatment with donor sperm from a man I don’t know.
You also helped me establish a solid workout routine, and now I train four times a week consistently. I feel strong and ready to become a mother!

Hello Signe,
I had an amazing, motivating, and heartfelt conversation with you about everything under the sun regarding being single/a solo mother. It’s wonderful to have you – and wonderful that we all have you. There aren’t many like you. You are invaluable to the decision-making process of becoming a self-chosen single mother and, in yourself, a source of support, energy, and an unparalleled force of engagement. Thank you for that. And THANK YOU for you and Anne writing that book. I honestly doubt I would have become a mother if you hadn’t done what you did – with the book, the lectures, and the network groups.
With love,

Hi Signe,
I attended the Silent Mind Process workshop in January. Immediately after the process, I experienced an inner calm, which meant no negative self-talk and increased concentration, especially noticeable at work. I actually wondered if anything had really happened at all, but the results spoke for themselves.
With love,
Anne
Signe Fjord helped me organize my office to create a more positive flow in my bank account. This led to a thorough decluttering, and I must say the results have far exceeded my expectations. After having a negative balance for six months, I suddenly had a significant surplus—and it has remained that way ever since.
Signe Fjord is an inspiring and positive initiator, and having her as a consultant has been incredibly beneficial.

After attending the Inner Peace workshop, I have experienced an incredible transformation. At that time, and for several months afterward, my career and financial situation were very uncertain. Previously, I would have been extremely anxious about how things would turn out. However, after the workshop, I felt much calmer and more relaxed about the situation as it was.
The worries are still there, but they no longer affect me emotionally in a negative way. It’s as if my ability to accept the present moment has become much easier and completely natural. Negative thoughts are now easier to shift into something positive in a peaceful and calm manner. There is an underlying state of tranquility that also influences the people around me—both in my personal life and with my clients.
I’ve also noticed that in situations where others are upset, worried, or restless, I become even calmer and more relaxed, which in turn has a soothing effect on them. In work situations, especially when interacting with clients, I can feel that one additional benefit is that their emotional fluctuations no longer get under my skin as they sometimes did before.
Overall, I have more energy and a greater sense of clarity in a peaceful and balanced way. There is little desire for “drama.”

Thank you for the great teaching in the Peak States courses Silent Mind and Inner Peace.
As a therapist myself, I have often unconsciously tried to shape my life into situations I believed would make me happy—something that could be stressful for both body and soul. During the Peak States course, I moved closer to a state where, no matter what happens, my body remains calm, peaceful, and light.
Now, I am more aware of the wonders that unfold when my body no longer reacts with alarm signals to thoughts, imaginings, or events. Suddenly, from the most unexpected places, ideas, support, and people appear—just when I need them to move forward. My trust in life has grown, even though I don’t know which direction it will take.
Signe and Hanne’s teaching was caring, present, and highly competent, and I felt completely safe throughout the processes.

I have to say that my ‘control’—which I was so ‘tired’ of having—is gone. I felt great all Thursday and had a lovely evening with my family. The kitchen wasn’t cleaned up after dinner, and I actually didn’t even think about it, nor did it bother me. That’s a big deal… in my world… hehe.

To Whom It May Concern:
We’re pleased to be able to help Signe Fjord with a letter of reference.
Our Institute is a volunteer organization, doing research into finding treatments for certain ‘incurable’ major diseases. In the last two years, Signe put in massive amounts of time, effort, and her own money into making this humanitarian project move forward.
The qualities that made her so valuable at the ISPS were her level of commitment; her selfstarting, “let’s get this started and working” attitude; her exceptional competence; and her ability to see what needs to get done, and then to take it on in a way that gets enthusiastic cooperation from others. Especially when pushing the frontiers of research, having someone who is willing to dig in and learn is absolutely vital – and she had what it took. Another unusual quality she has is her ability to see and keep focused on the ‘big picture’ at the same time that she works on making the specific details happen. This was the talent set that was key for her role; but even more importantly from our perspective, she could feel from some pretty rough emotional upsets and keep her objectivity. This rare quality is absolutely essential in our line of work, and she has it.
We hired her to take on several widely varying tasks. Because of her business and legal background, we had her to help us spot potential future problems and to help develop our business. She made future and ongoing risk assessments for us, and we used her as a sounding board on new strategies and ideas. She was instrumental in creating Danish seminars for the general public, and got us local press on a public lecture that helped get us established there. Our second clinic has now opened in that country.
We sent her to Australia for three months to help set up a new clinic there, and in a short amount of time she arranged a cross-country lecture tour held in all major Australian cities. This helped us get our name and services better known in Australia. Even more importantly to us, she was a major help in getting the Australian staff working together as a team with a common vision – the enthusiasm, synergy, and excitement the staff had during that period was a pleasure to see. All this is important, but there is more to life than work: when one of our staff was severely injured, Signe stayed talking on the phone with her, helping keep her from going into a coma for over 8 hours until she was able to be transported to the hospital. And Signe put up with leech bites, ticks, snakes and other physical challenges at our bush facility.
We enjoyed Signe as a professional and as a person; and we’d like to have her come back to work with us. If you want to chat about this letter, we would be happy to speak with you. Our Institute website is www.PeakStates.com.
Sincerely,
Dr. Grant McFetridge
Director, Institute for the Study of Peak States
