Born in a kitchen.
Built on belief.
I'm Jamie — herbalist, entrepreneur, café owner, and the woman who started all of this with a pot on the stove and a deep belief that plants could heal what nothing else could. Ripple Effect started the way most real things do: quietly, at home, with nothing but time, intention, and a knowing I couldn't quite explain.
Twenty years of herbalism taught me that my body wasn't broken — it was just asking for something different. I came to the plants through my own autoimmune journey, searching for answers that conventional medicine couldn't give me. What I found changed everything. I started making creams and tinctures for myself, then for friends, then for strangers on the internet who found me on TikTok. Two million views later, over 55,000 jars of Wild Yam Cream have gone out into the world.
This brand is about women coming home to themselves. To their cycles, their hormones, their nervous systems, their intuition. Every blend I make is a ripple — something small that changes everything downstream.
You can also find our products served daily at Awaken Café, our sister wellness café in Kankakee, IL — where the smoothie boosts and latte powders live in real life, made with the same intention as everything else we do.
