Say ‘yes’
If ever you should have the chance to work with Freya through any passage in your life then please say ‘yes’. She has an amazing ability to put me at ease with the most difficult subjects and to deal with things that feel burdensome and overwhelming in a way that is light-hearted and joyful. Her mastery with emotional freedom technique and her clairvoyant coaching gave me the insight I needed and the personal power to move forward in my chosen direction with confidence and clarity. She made the unthinkable possible and held the door open for me to make it happen. I am forever grateful, Freya, for your presence in my life.

Helped me to discover my “Big Picture”
Freya, you have been a wonderful coach. Your approach has been both professional and dynamic. When we first began, my life was kind of like a ball of twine–there were a few knots that needed to be dealt with before I could move forward. I have appreciated your enthusiasm and insight as I clarified my personal and professional goals. Your motivation, inspiration and effective communication style have been invaluable in helping me discover my unique ‘Big Picture’ and identifying the best strategies to create it. Thank you so much.

Deeply intuitive Life Coach, guide & personal champion
Working with Freya is a completely challenging, fulfilling, fun, energetic, and deep experience, and one that I wouldn’t trade for the world. In 8 months of working with Freya, I’ve achieved entirely new levels of satisfaction in my life, and success in business. Her ability to pick up my energy, or the words behind what I’m saying is simply amazing, it’s almost as if she can see parts of me that I’m not entirely in touch with before I do, and then explore those areas with me, so I don’t have to go it alone. She’s a guide, a champion, a truth seeker, a deeply intuitive listener, and (because she’s just WAITING for me to say it) a BUTT KICKER!!
– Bob K., Life Coach, Canal Winchester, Ohio

During the coaching sessions she introduces several techniques and resources to guide you towards making informed career choices. Freya helps you see that the path to a truly rewarding professional life is to pursue your interests and create a unique career path which reflects your personality. It has definitely been a great learning experience. Thank you, Freya!

Guidance in finding my path out of the maze
In a phase in which I felt I was trapped in a labyrinth in regards to certain aspects about my job, Freya’s coaching helped me a big step forward and encouraged me to set new goals. During our phone sessions Freya persistently kept asking about my plans and showed me a way and helped me to find the clarity necessary to find the right answers.
– Dr. B.P., Leipzig, Germany

Seeing clearly now — and opening up to new possibilities
Freya was just the right person to come into my life at a time when I was floundering. She encouraged me to think outside my usual patterns and gave me quick, reliable and usable resources. She also was my “cheerleader” and made me realize that I could do whatever I wanted if I so chose. Thank you, Freya. You have been a tremendous help to me!
– Ellen M., Iowa City, Iowa

A brighter future thanks to Essential Clarity!
Freya is a master teacher-mentor-coach. Her gift is not just that she can teach. Rather, she constantly amazes me by opening my eyes, mind and heart to what I know, but was unable to see or understand before her guidance. After three months, it feels as though whole new possibilities have opened in my professional and personal life. It’s a brighter future because of Freya’s Essential Clarity!

“If you are stuck … she can get you free.”
“Wow! I wish I hadn’t wasted so much time trying to decide whether to try EFT coaching with Freya. Once I signed on, the results were immediate. She is truly the most intuitive person I know.” When I hired Freya, I felt like someone had turned on the light in a very dark room. After every session I came away with more piercing insights. These enabled me to make quality decisions which have changed my life! Her methods are brilliant. I would work with Freya every single day of the week if I could. She truly has a talent for helping others get clear about what they need to do to get what they desire.
– Melanie V., Small Business Owner & Healthcare Professional, Iowa City, IA

Just one session and my public speaking nervousness is GONE!
Good news! I couldn’t have made myself nervous if I tried – and I actually DID try! I went to bed; slept like a log – got up; drove off to the presentation all packed up and organized; got up in front of the group and did not have ONE SECOND of anxiety, hand sweating, muscle twitching, drooling, heart palpitations, sweaty face, shallow breathing, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, nervous stomach, depression, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, fainting, or ANYTHING! HA!
Thank you!! You did an awesome job … and I shared your brochure with 2 people in the group today, too… … This is a wonderful technique and you are the perfect practitioner!
–Kim C., Professional Organizer, Seattle, Washington

Intuitive, compassionate and insightful
Freya’s combined intuitive work using both Life Coaching and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) helped me to open the gateway to change my beliefs around my physical health, money, relationships and my consistent “Super Woman” syndrome. Her ability to dance in the moment was beautifully crafted by tapping on an issue and continuing to ask the powerful questions around it. She was effective by using all of her extensive training, as well as her compassion, her experience and her fierceness for my success and joy. I am grateful for Freya’s role in helping me to move forward to start living the life that I have been creating with ease and grace.”
–Jennifer M.B., Life Coach, Speaker, Writer, Louisville, KY

Liberated and free after EFT session
“Freya’s EFT session was an experience of a life time. Freya’s EFT session gave me the opportunity to release old emotional energy that had embedded within me from my youth. I was extremely delighted to be set free of that gunk. I am more liberated and free to help others maximize their God-given talents & abilities due to Freya’s EFT session.
Freya’s has a special gift that has helped me & I will refer friends, clients, family to her in the future. It is a personal investment that has a great return. Thanks again.”
–Dan K., Life Coach, Solon, IA

Session with Freya peeled away emotional issues and tensions
“I felt that as we went through the cycle of tapping and stating what were some issues that I was struggling with several things happened. First, as a struggle was stated, it seemed to dissipate, become less difficult to bear, and then new issues would arise, not unlike the peeling of an onion. Freya took each struggle that I stated and offered it back to me with acceptance, compassion and a lightness that, while not minimizing the struggle, made it seem not so overwhelming anymore. The tension that I have been carrying around with me in my shoulders dissipated. I was surprised at where it took me. I received clarity in recognizing the value of everyday experiences and in being able to enjoy another’s success without needing to diminish my own.”
–Jana K. Decorah, IA

Freya makes magic happen
“Freya’s workshops and private sessions have been an inspiration. She has helped me work on a concept map and each time we are together I feel that she makes magic happen as she helps pull threads that bring something new to light. Her own light shines so bright and is so supportive and enthusiastic about your progress that it is sheer pleasure the see what develops in an hour. It is always illuminating, positive, and filled with loving kindness that all of us need in this hard world.”
–Barb S. Iowa City, IA

Empowered and Enlightened
“I felt very accepted, empowered and enlightened about visions and the path to obtaining my vision. The workshop had a lot of “ah ha” moments and gave me lots of worthwhile insights.”
–Dawn B. Cedar Rapids, IA

The best class of my adult life
In my first 10 to 15 min coming to this EFT seminar I was 100% sure I wasted $20, I didn’t have and that I wasted 2 h of my time I could never get back. Boy was I wrong. Of all the college classes I’ve taken in my adult life this one was the best. Freya, she kicks ass at what she does.
–Jonnilee Y., Springville, IA

Breakthrough with Freya: Taking my energy back
I was introduced to Freya and her EFT Strategies to assist me in breaking through! Below is the outcome that I gained from my phone session with Freya:

What’s holding me back?!? – Million dollar question
- Related to my weight-loss journey, why is it NOT happening?
- Freedom to release myself from PAST and EMBRACE the changes that need to be made for it to happen – RELEASE THE MENTAL BLOCK AND ENERGY THAT’S BEEN HOLDING ME BACK
- FREED FROM THE ENERGY OF OTHERS THAT IS STOPPING ME
You must be GROUNDED and CONNECTED to your center/core
Find your way to keep other peoples energy out to ensure my core grounding foundation
Every day you leave your energy behind
“This is what I need to do to keep their energy out” – tapping
Try to not get “emotionally involved” and let them into my energy field

I am impressed with how Freya was able to un-earth what I needed simply by asking a few key questions. I know you too will find value with working with Freya!

Wowed by Freya’s workshop ”
My doctoral students were wowed by Freya’s workshop on how to write a scientific paper. And, as someone who regularly publishes research in social work and child maltreatment journals, I also found her techniques, such as word mapping, extremely helpful in writing more powerful scientific “stories.” I am confident that Freya can develop a workshop on writing, publishing or presenting that will help your students, faculty, and staff improve their skills regardless of their disciplinary background.”
–Dr. Carol C., Faculty, The University of Iowa

Dynamic workshop leader
“Although I have been writing scholarly manuscripts for many years, it was not until I attended a 90-minute writing session by Freya Schafer did I realize just how easy it would be to dramatically enhance the effectiveness of my academic writing. Using concrete examples, insight, and humor, Freya walked us through specific steps to improve our writing. I was so convinced of the effectiveness of her method, that upon returning to my office that afternoon, I literally re-organized a grant application I was working on. Since attending Freya’s writing workshop, I now provide more helpful feedback to my students on their writing, and am better able to edit my own writing.
Freya’s teaching style is dynamic, interactive, inquisitive, gentle, and refreshing. She has a knack for simplifying complicated concepts and communicating them effectively. I strongly encourage any one who wants to improve scholarly writing to attend one of Freya’s informative and well-organized sessions.”
– Dr. Mercedes B., Faculty, The University of Iowa

Testimonial from a scientific colleague
I had the wonderful privilege of working with Dr. Schafer for over 10 years in a cancer research laboratory. A principal goal of the lab was to uncover the chemical and biochemical mechanisms behind new cancer treatments so they could be improved. Freya has outstanding problem-solving skills, be it a science problem, interpersonal relationship issue, or administrative challenge. She was exceptionally good at helping the students and staff in the lab identify their long-term goals and develop strategies, milestones, and markers to achieve their dreams. This broad range of experience along with her formal training in personal coaching from the best institutes give Freya the skills to help everyone achieve their goals. She is a joy to work with; the results are always delightful.
