Hi, I’m Melanie.
Melanie grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut, and always felt a little different, like the resident alien queen. Born with sharp intuition, natural empathy, and a magnetic intensity, she was the kid asking complex questions and challenging the status quo. A lifelong learner and explorer, she immersed herself in every subject imaginable and once imagined she’d become a Scientist, Rock Star, and Mother.
Perhaps not all those roles unfolded as expected, but in her own way, she became all three. Through her work across the sciences of business, entrepreneurship, and the quantum physics of spirituality, she became a kind of scientist. Through her singing in the shower and goth-inspired wardrobe, she became a rock star. And through her healing and coaching, she became a mother.
Melanie always felt different, always searching for something new to learn, meet, or experience. It turns out she was seeking herself — as we all inevitably are. In a quantum universe of infinite possibility, she discovered that clarity, purpose, and expression were already within her.
Now, she’s here to lead you through your own discovery, your own tour of the matrix, toward the infinite possibility that is you.
As a Multi-Dimensional Coach and Healer, Melanie bridges the rigor of her executive past with the intuitive flow of the spiritual to help transform your lived experience.
Whether you’re here to navigate the matrix, discover your life’s purpose, or paint and play, Melanie helps you unlock your full potential across every dimension of your life. With more than 18 years of experience, she brings a rare blend of strategic business insight, transformative coaching, and holistic healing arts to support your most ambitious goals.
Melanie has been called many things: Coach, Healer, Artist, Guide, Witch, Entrepreneur, and more. At her core, she is simply M. (Melanie) E. (Espeland) — or ME.
Melanie has been featured in Forbes, NBC, ABC, CBS, Business Insider, TEDx, and more. Her clients have included Google, Meta, IBM, and Morgan Stanley, as well as visionary founders, executives, influencers, and Olympic athletes.
