Our Story
The Restorative Power of Plant Medicine
OM harnesses the restorative power of plant medicine to create superior products that enhance self-care, wellness, and enjoyment for everyone. Our female-founded company was born in the Bay Area in 2008, the center of California’s Cannabis culture. We’ve been at the forefront of holistic wellness for over a decade, and central to our mission is the belief that Cannabis is a superfood. Everything we do honors the plant as a nutritionally dense, earth-born resource that has been used for millennia.
OM believes in the respectful use of our planet’s resources to help supplement a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Our formulations combine sustainably grown full-spectrum Cannabis with other curative botanicals, oils, and little else. Simply put, we believe that if you can’t put it in your mouth, it doesn’t belong on your skin.
We believe our customers deserve the same commitment to excellence whether their needs are medicinal or recreational. OM’s Cannabis infused products adhere to the strictest safety and quality standards in the country and are made with pure love. Every ingredient we select is intentional, and nothing we wouldn’t use ourselves. The result? Formulations that feel, taste, and smell luxurious.
We offer award-winning THC infused products as well, available at licensed dispensaries in California.

About Maya

In 2017 Maya co-founded Whoopi and Maya with Oscar winner and host of The View, Whoopi Goldberg. In addition to being one of the first mainstream celebrity co-branded cannabis lines, multiracial women lead company was as groundbreaking as their signature line of products tailored to support women and their monthly cycle. Maya developed all the product formulations and was the company’s CEO until it ceased operating in 2020. In 2019 Maya launched OM Wellness and began offering Hemp CBD / THC free versions of her products to customers directly, health stores, specialty retailers, spas, and beyond, available for shipping worldwide.
Maya has a deep spiritual connection with the plant and believes cannabis is a birthright, in all forms for wellbeing, pleasure, enjoyment, and as a preventative. Maya’s philosophy of commitment to servitude through Cannabis is most evident in her high-quality, multi-herb products, which she works hard to keep as some of the most accessible in the state. Maya’s work in cannabis has taken her around the world as a respected thought leader, educator, and judge.
