Meet Amy Asaturyan | Self Help Coach & Author

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

Hi Amy, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
As a collective, we are all seeking love, acceptance, forgiveness and healing. I launched www.theselfhelpcolletive.com as an educational platform deeply rooted in the core principles of learning how to take full responsibility for everything. It is a safe space offering live, interactive online courses centered around the subject of pragmatic self and relationship healing, as well as one on one coaching sessions.

All of our journeys are different, but the desired destination of inner peace is all consuming and ever the same. We all just want to go home to ourselves. No matter how chaotic the outside world may seem, there is a way to come to a place of stillness, forgiveness and acceptance. Peace begins from within, and if we all find inner peace, we can all create outer peace in our communities and in the world.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
As a writer at www.amyasaturyan.com, I am still, always, eternally, working with businesses and individuals to help weave thoughts, needs and wants into cohesive, written narratives. My newest venture, www.theselfhelpcollective.com, is a very long time coming and quite magical. I hesitate to call it a business but rather, a calling. I’m most proud and excited about creating a community where people can learn and seek self help without a guru or complicated modality.

I got to where I am business-wise, by practicing gratitude, maintaining an amazing collection of supportive friends and colleagues and following my heart. Was it easy? Absolutely not. I think we are often our biggest enemy. Procrastination and doubt play a large role in getting things off the ground. Couple that with perfectionism and things can become stagnant rather quickly. I’ve overcome those obstacles by focusing on one thing at a time and trusting that things will fall into place, it may be a tad Pollyannaish, but it actually works.

Along the way I’ve learned to relax, trust, and flow like water, strong yet yielding, soft yet powerful. I’d want the world to know that there’s a safe place, without judgment, without worry, to confide in and seek healing. My brand, www.theselfhelpcollective.com is about love, and coming home to yourself, for there is no place like home.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
To show my best friend a great time, I’d first ask what they’d want to do and tailor things to their liking as a good host should. Sans a pandemic, and if I had free reign, it would go a little something like this:

For brunch, we’d feast on a Mediterranean breakfast and turkish lattes at MoMed in Atwater, or avocado toast with fresh strawberry jam and piping hot biscuits at Café Birdie in Highland Park. For the best cheese board we’d drive out to Newhall Refinery in Valencia. If craving tacos, we’d end up at Tacos Tu Madre in Los Feliz, almost certainly sharing a healthy helping of street corn.

To stretch our legs, we’d hit the hiking trail at Arroyo Seco in Pasadena and take in the views at Angeles National Forrest or the Griffith Observatory. To get wet, we’d take my pup to the 4-acre stretch of Rosie’s Dog Beach in Long Beach.

After breakfast at Eggslut in Glendale, or a burrito from Lucky Boy in Pasadena, we’d spend the day at the LA Zoo cooing at the animals. We’d venture to the Los Angeles County Arboretum in Arcadia, taking in the splendor of intoxicating rosehip in the air, or walk along the, quiet hidden gem that is the Los Angeles River.

Donning our best evening attire, we’d catch the latest musical at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre or find an opera or ballet in town and get lost in a story for the ages. For a chuckle we’d hit up an impromptu stand-up or impov show.

For a nightcap, we’d drink some scotch on the rocks at the secluded and seductive Semi Tropic in Silverlake or the iconic Millennium Biltmore Hotel Los Angeles.

We’d have an exquisite tapas style Italian dinner at Bestia in the Arts District in DTLA, or get scrumptious, Georgian take out from Havlabar Cuisine in Glendale.

Above all, we’d spend some much needed quality time together and stay up late, talk for hours and bask in each other’s company and comfortable silence.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
We are a sum total of everyone we interact with and let into our beautiful, precious little universe. I am nothing without the support of my friends, colleagues and family. My friends especially, have been instrumental in reminding me that magic is just an inspirational moment away and can be conjured at anytime. To the strong women in my life, to the supportive men, and to all the like-minded, fascinating, brilliant, humble humans I am lucky to call friends, there is no me without you. I dedicate this shootout to you and your unwavering love and support.
