JAKE MYARA

President, Co-founder

Jake’s own personal experiences with aromatherapy not only transformed his health but ultimately led to the creation of VINEVIDA.

VINEVIDA was co-founded in 2017 with the aim of redefining what the aromatherapy industry should look like. Jake’s goal is to provide high-quality essential oils at bulk pricing to any and all customers. As President of VINEVIDA, Jake is in charge of overseeing day-to-day operations. From product sourcing to conducting research, he endlessly commits his time to ensure that every customer receives the best experience possible.
