Founder & CEO

Jeannie Jacobs, MD

From the heart of South Carolina, Jeannie Jacobs, the only daughter of her family, always dreamed of a world beyond her small town. Her relentless curiosity led her to devour every encyclopedia, yearning to embrace every moment life had to offer, both joyous and challenging. Even in the toughest times, she found catalysts for growth, leading to extraordinary experiences she couldn't have imagined.

Inspired by the song "This Little Light of Mine" from her Sunday school days, Jeannie learned the importance of letting her light shine through all circumstances. This guiding principle carried her through a fulfilling career as a physician, where she dedicated herself to helping others navigate their pivotal moments. Aiding her patients in finding their way to triumph, no matter the adversity, reinforced her belief in living a life of purpose.

Three years ago, Jeannie made the bold decision to pivot from her medical career to pursue her true purpose: becoming the best version of herself. With no regrets, she now lives a life where she is fully present for herself and her young children, ensuring they know her as Mom and not just Dr. Jacobs. This newfound freedom has allowed her to cultivate her talents in home decor and culinary pursuits, inspired by her recent world travels. Sharing her post-medicine life has become an inspiration to others, demonstrating that careers and titles need not define who you are. Jeannie now finds peace in being a wife, a mom, a doctorpreneur, and simply experiencing life without letting it run her.

Through her career, Jeannie witnessed firsthand how the right environment could aid in the healing process. She discovered that specific scents have the power to evoke the mind and spirit, leading to inner peace and clarity. By helping her patients navigate their life paths through these healing processes, she was inspired to create fragrances that do the same.

Navigating her own pivotal moments led her to find purpose, clarity, and harmony, which became the foundation of the Pivotal Moments home fragrance collection.

Pivotal Moments

Every defining moment starts with a memory, bringing back emotions from significant times in life. For me, scents have always been powerful markers of time, each one tied to memories both good and bad.

I remember the smell of fresh lemons in my grandmother’s kitchen, the calming lavender fields during a family vacation, and even the scent of the ocean during a challenging time. These scents are more than just fragrances; they are anchors to the moments that we all have.


From these memories, Pivotal Moments was born. Our candles are designed to evoke the emotions of your significant moments, creating lasting memories for you. Each scent tells a story, a piece of my journey, and invites you to reflect on your own. Through these experiences, I've learned not to fear change but to embrace it.


I want to invite you on this journey with us. Let our scents be a part of your story, marking your own pivotal moments and inspiring you to live your most authentic life.
