Bio
Rachel West
Jacob is one of the best! I truly appreciate the time he took to educate my team on the benefits of mindfulness. He led the group through a discussion on mindfulness and a guided meditation, and by the end, we all felt closer to eachother. Jacob truly knows how to naturally break down walls and engage everyone in the group.

I've had the distinct pleasure of meeting Jacob when he was completing his undergraduate degree from Emory University. While a student, he led "The Good Vibe Tribe" - a peer to peer mentoring group that combines compassion and wellness to help students cultivate growth, happiness, and relaxation for better mental health. It has been a privilege to witness his personal and professional growth, from student leader to successful entrepreneur, and see him realize his vision of becoming the Chief Mindfulness Officer and Co-Founder of Source Wellness. Jacob and his team have built a thriving enterprise that's focused on improving mental well-being and fostering understanding through unique Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging practices to improve organizational culture. I’ve had the benefit of working with the Source Wellness team to improve not only my own wellbeing, but also the staff of The Career Center at Emory University. Thank you for your vision, leadership, and enlightenment…I look forward to following your journey!
