About Us

My name is Franki Olinger. 

I am the author and creator of The Five V's: A Guide to Empowerment, Happiness & Love, The Modern Day Spiritual Warriors Handbook & Workbooks and The Softness Under The Scars: A collection of private and not so private Lyrics, Poems and Thoughts. I write and release books that I feel can be relatable and healing for those who read them. Books of this type saved my life, and I want to do the same for others. I absolutely love inspiring and coaching people. I developed The Five V's coaching process because I believe there are MANY ways to heal and recover from our personal struggles. I have a belief that every human being is unique and therefore, requires a somewhat personal approach to the healing process. It is my pleasure to offer a unique solution to the wonderful world of healing & personal development that has never been presented before.

I have over 2 decades of experience in long-term recovery from addiction, self-sabotage & PTSD (among others). In my 30+ years of healing from childhood sexual trauma and abuse, as well as watching my boyfriend shoot himself in front of me when I was 18, I have learned many things about healing, my value as a human being and how to teach it to others. Always having been an entertainer since I was a small child, I was good at putting on a happy face, even though I was suffocating inside. Over 20 years ago, I started to help others to heal as well. In the process of coaching and mentoring others, I noticed a pattern of "victim" situations (big and small) which seemed to be present in all of my students & clients. I realized that we were ALL born as empowered humans without judgment, anger, fear or resistance. I asked myself, how could we return to that state? It seemed impossible, until it wasn't. 

The Five V's are a part of a unique process I have created and use to coach people out of self-sabotage, limiting beliefs or any other harmful thinking patterns and habits to learn Empowerment, Happiness & The True Truth about their value, purpose & experiences in life. 

Our thoughts are not only habitual, but in many cases, automatic, impulsive & sometimes compulsive. Using The Five V's process, we are able to investigate and re-wire the neural pathways in the brain which are causing problems in our lives. In other words, negative or sabotaging thoughts, actions, reactions, etc. can be changed. Positive & successful actions, habits & thoughts can be newly created - or expanded upon. I have been able to help people with decades of self-sabotage & pain find happiness & empowerment again.
