Norvy & Tara
Norvy Brandin
Norvy is a certified International ICC-Coach, Chopra Meditation Instructor and transformational coach working with businesses and individuals since 2007. He began his career as a championship speedway racer. In 2010 launched his creative production agency, NB Communication.
During his time as a speedway racer, Norvy became very familiar with dealing directly with fear. It was during one of his races, he was propelled into a moment of absolute “stillness”, where everything moved in slow motion. This experience stayed with him for years. He began to seek the explanation of this “stillness”. First, he learned to meditate. Norvy has studied under numerous world-renowned mystics and spiritual teachers, including Ram Dass, one of the greatest spiritual teachers of our time and author of “Be Here Now”. He also has studied with Dr. Deepak Chopra, holistic health guru and NY Times best selling author with whom Norvy received his certification to teach Primordial Sound Meditation at The Chopra Center in Carlsbad California.
