Welcome.
I am currently offering Inner-Personal Theology, my unique process of coaching for personal improvement: motivation, stress reduction, spiritual weight loss, career guidance and inspiration.
I use telephone/email/Skype, in arrangements convenient for you — from a few individual consultations, to a customized program. As we are early in this New Year, I’d like to offer you a personal coaching package (including coaching sessions, and as a special gift – a copy of my DVD and book) at substantial discount.
My philosophy is simple: be fully yourself and fully alive, the wonderful person that God created you to be.
Packages:
– monthly: 4 one-hour sessions, a free book and DVD
– two-week startup: two one-hour sessions, a free book or DVD
– individual consultations, as arranged.
Please email me immediately to discuss working together email hidden; JavaScript is required
Please tell me about yourself, your challenges, what you wish to accomplish, and the best time to reach you by telephone.

Feedback from workshops and clients:
“This VASTLY exceeded my expectations… the presenter was first-rate. Norris quickly made the program comfortable for all of us…it progressed and I gradually opened up in ways I never had before.
