About Esther Avant:

Esther is a health industry veteran with 20 years of experience, passionately guiding busy people to break through the barriers to better health. In her 20s, despite being a personal trainer and nutrition coach, she wrestled with an all-or-nothing approach—swinging between strict diets, over-exercising, and overeating, pouring energy into her health without seeing the results she felt she deserved. That struggle taught her the value of consistency and balance, a middle ground she now lives daily, juggling a business, family, and health goals while prioritizing mental, physical, and emotional well-being over the scale.

Through her work, Esther shares practical tools and new ways of thinking to help audiences focus on what matters, lean on those who can help, and take compassionate ownership of the process. Her audiences leave empowered and motivated to build sustainable habits that enhance every part of life. Esther is a keynote speaker, workshop facilitator, co-owner of MADE By ME Coaching, author of the bestselling book To Your Health: A Lifestyle of Health, Happiness, and Confidence, and host of the To Your Health podcast.
