Meet Melanie Espeland – The Hollywood Healer: tying together the rigor of the executive world with the flow of the spiritual.

We had the good fortune of connecting with Melanie Espeland and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Melanie, what do you think makes you most happy? Why?

What makes me happy? While such a simple question, I find that many of my clients, and myself, struggle to connect to our inner joy. We spend so much of our lives in the matrix being told that we are only “good” or “enough” if we produce – meaning we must work hard and keep going. Yet there’s no celebration or time baked into this capitalist matrix for enjoyment. For fun. For play.

I love helping my clients find their happiness – and funny enough, this act helps me to feel happy. I also personally tap into my body to ask what will make me happy in the moment, for the week, or when planning my month. I find happiness in painting; reading; quiet walks in my beautiful neighborhood; a deep conversation with a friend; that extra hour of sleep; and helping my clients.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I’m the Founder of The Hollywood Healer.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?

I live in West Hollywood, which has plenty of amazing places to visit, from hikes to nightlife to unique shopping. In particular, I enjoy The Roger Room’s excellent Vesper Martini and “nod” to aNew York speakeasy flavor. Across the street is The Nice Guy,  with incredible Italian cuisine and gluten free options! I typically start with a cocktail at The Roger Room, and then walk over to The Nice Guy when I’m feeling peckish.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?

I truly believe that are all connected. We are all made of the same cosmic energy and stardust, and therefore, we are meant to cross paths with specific people, even if just for a moment. My nonlinear journey has been touched by so many incredible and diverse individuals who have helped me to awaken to my own authentic truth.

In particular, I’d like to share a shoutout to Amanda Castilone – my coach. She’s taught me how to re-define success and my limiting beliefs to match what truly exists inside of me. She’s helped me to find my own North Star, which has allowed me to become a coach and healer, and navigate my way in and out of our matrix. I highly recommend her as a coach, healer, and human!
