About

Hello and welcome!

I’m Olga Pinn, founder of Meditate Mate, health and wellness coach, mindfulness teacher, and author of Stress Protection Factor. I also go by Ollie.

I started Meditate Mate after my own experience with burnout and depression showed me that external success without inner alignment isn't truly successful or sustainable. 

Our goal is simple: to cut through the noise of wellness trends and buzzwords, sharing high-quality, research-backed information and tools from experts in neuroscience, health and wellness coaching, mindfulness, meditation, stress management, and leadership as a resource to support your well-being in real life.

Based out of Ocean Beach in San Diego, California, my meditation journey began more than twenty years ago in China, where I lived and studied for over a decade. During that time, I bridged markets and mindsets between East and West, leading cultural and business projects across the United States, China, Russia, and East Asia.

In 2010, I moved to California to study business administration and marketing at the University of California, San Diego, and to fulfill my dream of working with global lifestyle and beauty brands, helping them expand their digital commerce across North America. 

Today, my work focuses on health and resilience coaching and on creating and promoting cultures of well-being—at work and in everyday life—by helping people build their inner SPF (Stress Protection Factor), a new baseline of resilience for navigating constant change without burnout. You can learn more about my coaching programs at www.stressprotectionfactor.org.

Drawing from my background in digital product development, AI, finance, and data science, I distill complex clinical and philosophical concepts into practical mindfulness programs and wellness roadmaps for individuals and teams in high-pressure fields like startup founders, fast-moving business teams, and healthcare professionals.

My first book, Stress Protection Factor, on developing well-being as a core resilience skill and strategic advantage in the face of modern stress, is now available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. I'm so excited to share it with you soon!
