About ESAV

Enjoy some of my favorite things, and learn how I got into health coaching.

Let's Get Started

Let me introduce myself. I'm a little high-strung, energetic and fun-loving. I am a former junior high math teacher. I enjoy most things active, but also like to write. My favorite writing projects include writing Bible study guides.​

The Goal

The ultimate goal of health coaching is to help you build a toolkit. Based on your needs and goals, I'll help you build a toolkit full of tools, strategies and ideas for you to put to good use to build a healthier, happier you.​

As Real as it Gets

Jeanie Olinger
Founder of ESAV

I'm an active person so I've been mindful of health and fitness issues for many years. As a teacher at heart, I wanted to use the information I'd gleaned over the years to help others, but I didn't feel qualified.
I finished up a Master's in Health Education but it wasn't quite what I was looking for, so I started classes with Institute for Integrative Nutrition to become a health coach. That was exactly what I needed. Not only did it help me sort through many of my personal issues (what? I'm not perfect??), it equipped me to be able to help others on their journey toward health.
As a caregiver I have struggled with emotional eating, depression and other issues. Then when I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure I thought my life was over. Not so. It just served as fuel for me to find some real answers. And I did. After the diagnosis - I'm still running half-marathons and enjoying my life, I had to adjust, then proceed. I found out that even if I couldn't run as fast as I once had, I could still run and that every step I took - was a victory.

I want to help others find peace with themselves and a healthy balance that works for them - one step at a time. Because EVERY Step is a Victory!
