Bart’s Bio

Bart Westdorp started his furniture repair journey back in 1992. He apprenticed with Shad Weathersby in New Orleans, where he learned the trade, and handled insurance claims on a daily basis.

In 1998 he started NOA Claims & Repair Service with Danny Guillot. After Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005, Bart & Danny lost their homes and business. Danny re-started NOA in New Orleans, and Bart relocated to North Carolina to live with family, and open NOA Claims NC.

In 2014 Bart decided to change careers and pursue a personal passion, and became a fulltime yoga and meditation teacher. He opened Global Breath Yoga & Meditation Center in Durham NC, which became an award winning yoga studio and community space.

Recently Bart became a new father, which inspired him to return to his roots as a craftsman, and reopen NOA Claims in NC.

Bart approaches each job with mindfulness and presence, and strives to meet each customers needs.
