It was as Ramona Riley was giving birth in the back seat of her family car—her husband navigating the turns of the I20 in South Carolina – that she understood her calling. Having refused a hysterectomy just one year prior to the birth, Riley had sought training in alternative fertility and wellness methods, including hypno-birthing techniques so effective her husband believed she had simply fallen asleep—until the first cries of their newborn echoed through the car. That miraculous moment became the spark that started a movement. The Montessori trained school principal pivoted. Immersing herself into the world of alternative health, she became a certified doula and created Cosmic Wombman, a boutique wellness brand that has rapidly become one of the Caribbean’s leading voices in alternative therapies.
Riley brings an educator’s discipline and a healer’s intuition to her business. She spent five years training in four states to establish the company stateside, while travelling back and forth to Jamaica where she built a client base of high-net-worth expats, locals, and wellness tourists visiting from as far away as Dubai and the UK. During this time, she became a fixture in the island’s wellness tourism market and built a solid platform for the brand. She curated private fertility retreats, conducted herbal healing consultations, and hosted destination births. As the business expanded, she relocated to her homeland, and based on demand, she created a holistic line of fertility focused products and support services.
Founded in 2017, the Cosmic Wombman brand now offers 18 meticulously crafted products for both female and male reproductive health, as well as long guarded male enhancement remedies. The supplement line is sold online and is available worldwide through her fulfilment center in Florida. Ramona herself remains highly sought after, offering consultations to guide her clients through the techniques that work in tandem with personalized herbal protocols. Though she hosts these online sessions remotely, her clients often prefer to visit her on-island or fly her to their location.
While Riley’s brand is rooted in ancestral wisdom, her modern business sense is clear. The company has plugged-in to the overlap between the wellness industry boom, and global birthrate declines. According to the WHO the average number of children born per woman (total fertility rate) has dropped dramatically—from around five in 1950 to 2.31 in 2020 and 2.1 in 2025— birth rates are crashing downward with many developed nations already below replacement levels. The shocking statistics have been declared an ongoing global fertility crisis, and Cosmic Wombman offers a unique value proposition in closing that gap.
Fertility is now a commodity, and Riley believes that natural solutions will be key in rejuvenating first world birth rates, and that responsible use of traditional medicine can enhance the Western approach. Synthetic hormone injections are the norm for couples that want children, but there is widespread outcry on the toll modern treatments take on bodies, and on relationships. Riley’s brand offers a gentler return to the arts of maternity, “The ‘womb economy’ is a thing,” notes the mother of three, “and we are in a unique timeline where we are recognizing and measuring the effectiveness of plant medicine. These long-lost fertility traditions help to support families and sustain populations.”
Today the business of women’s wellness has matured beyond trend and into long-term growth. Business is booming for those riding the female focused commerce wave, which has been holding steady for the last 2 decades, from yoga apparel giants Lululemon whose market cap exceeded $50 billion in 2024, to Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop or the Flo app. Even esoteric items such as healing crystals saw an unprecedented surge. Powered largely by female consumers, the U.S. healing crystal market valued $1.2b in 2020 and hit approximately $1.8b by 2024, an 8 % compound annual growth rate.
Riley’s company remains as grounded in smart business as it is in sound practice. During the Covid 19 crisis the brand responded to the community’s needs in real time, adding detox remedies and immune system boosters to its product line. The response was immense, and Cosmic Wombman’s revenues tripled. “We all wanted answers,” she recalls, “many of us found them in nature.” Still, she makes it clear: her approach is not anti-science. “I believe in responsible collaboration with medical systems,” Riley says. “There’s a role for both. Modern medicine can save lives, and so can traditional methods.”
Organizations like the WHO and Fortune Business Insights Industry underscored this dynamic during the pandemic, as both highlighted the rising use—and effectiveness—of traditional remedies in regions where such knowledge is preserved. The traditional medicine market is expected to exceed $400 billion by 2025, and the global wellness industry is projected to grow from $6.3 trillion in 2023 to $9 trillion by 2028.
Brands like Cosmic Wombman are well-positioned to capitalize on this surge of wellness wealth. The company’s success reflects a broader shift among discerning individuals who are investing not only for personal use, but as a rapidly appreciating asset class. The secret, Riley suggests, lies equally in outcomes, and in the sacredness of the service rendered. “Privacy is critical” she says. “This is not a one-size-fits-all approach, we take time with our clients. We listen to their stresses, challenges, and goals. Our clients don’t need gimmicks; they need results—peacefully.” While her reputation for discretion is well acknowledged, some of her more prominent clients have leapt to sing her praises. The wife of pop superstar Sean Paul was notably vocal regarding both herself and her sister, who have publicly endorsed Riley’s treatments.
Jamaica itself has become a hotspot for high-end wellness tourism, with guests increasingly bypassing the Far East for a more accessible, comfortable, and relaxed experience in the Caribbean. The reggae nation’s wellness tourism market has seen double-digit annual growth since 2020, particularly in herbal, spa, and mind-body therapies. Medium Magazine recently profiled the rapidly rising popularity of psilocybin mental health retreats on the island.
It is within this lush, tropical landscape that Cosmic Wombman thrives, creating a sanctuary for individuals that seek powerful healing. “My mission is simple” she says, “To honour both motherhood and fatherhood, and to extend transformative care.”
