“The Inner Ascent course opened me further to rewiring my nervous system with mindful somatic tools and breath work practices I hadn’t explored as in-depth. In our little tribe cultivated by Jake, we truly shared ourselves. My body and nervous system shed tears as it has so badly needed the reminder to ground and come back home."

"I can now catch my heart rate rising and stop to ask my body what it needs to regulate instead of just charging through all activated. I’m able to notice when other people's systems are dysregulated and keep mine regulated and not let mine join theirs. I can feel sensations in my center and recognize I’m anxious about something and address it instead of ignoring it. I feel like I’m in a relationship with my body and that is a really nice feeling. Excited to work in supplements as well."

"I had no expectations going into the Inner Ascent seminar with Jake, and that allowed me the freedom to explore what exactly I hoped to get out of it. What I found was a community of like-minded individuals, coming together with their own struggles, and lessons, and successes to lift each other up, and celebrate sobriety. I love that not only Jake, but everyone in the class, met you where you're at. It was a paradigm-shifting experience to learn from and understand how to best live a sober life. I highly recommend the Inner Ascent course to anyone who may be struggling and needs to find their own path in life."

Group & 1:1 Coaching Testimonials
"After being an almost daily marijuana user for 6+ years, since age 17, I felt nothing short of trapped and alone. I knew something needed to change & had known for years that I wanted to stop, but after multiple failed attempts to quit, felt powerless. Jake & his program empowered me, guided me, and helped me recognize my own power and competence to move my life in the direction I wanted. I truly never thought I could get to a point where I felt joy, peace, & contentment in day to day life without weed, but here I am, and what a truly amazing place to be." - Rebecca
"At the end of the 13 weeks with Jacob I felt completely free. I was able to relax more than I ever did smoking weed. I was more clear and creative than I had been in years. I naturally began to discover what I really liked and what really brought me joy. I made more deep and meaningful, real relationships with those I loved. I was no longer just surviving. I began to actually thrive. I can barely recognize who I was before this process anymore. I am so happy to finally be free from addictions and anxiety and happy with who I am" - Kristin
Working with Jake has helped me bring awareness to and gain confidence in getting my needs met to achieve my long term goals. I’m super grateful for the opportunity to work with Jake, and I wicked recommend his life coaching services to everyone! I’m not letting the self doubt thoughts hold me down any more… it doesn’t mean they’re not there, but I am able to see them clearer, and talk through them... Jake's program has allowed me to stay aware of insecurities and question them, and have a conversation with myself about them in the moment instead of just wallowing in a pit of despair… and that’s HUGE!" - Jess
