Vasudev (Bjørn Årstad Seyffarth), is the founder of Finding Self-love.

Born in 1970, he grew up in Oslo, Norway but left 19 years old to be with his guru in the Himalayas. Parallel to his stays at the ashram in India Vasudev studied philosophy, comparative religion, linguistics and pedagogy at the University of Oslo where he majored with the thesis “Realizing the Self – a hermeneutical analysis” (1998).

In 2005, he completed his training as a philosophical councellour (www.nsfp.no). This led to work in cognitive therapy, positive psychology, BRIEF therapy (solution focused approach) and ART (aggression replacement training). Vasudev is also a trained school teacher (PPU 2005) and has worked in both Waldorf – and Montessori schools.

From 2014 to 2017 Vasudev was  instrumental in building up Leadership by Heart Coaching, a life-coaching school out of Norway. Vasudev wrote “The Art of Coaching” as curriculum for Leadership by Heart Coaching – a book which is currently being used by Living From Vision Coaching. In 2018 he started his own life-coaching school in Norway – Coaching by Heart (coachingbyheart.no)

Most of the year Vasudev is based in Bali, Indonesia where he works as a musician.
