About Us
At Here I Am, we celebrate the power of self-care as a transformative act of reclaiming your well-being and redefining what it means to thrive. Our limited edition self-care sets and sustainably made wellness products are designed to support your journey with intention and purpose.
Each product—whether it’s luxurious skincare, soothing aromatherapy candles, or rejuvenating bath & body essentials is handpicked from women-owned small businesses committed to sustainability and ethical practices. Our limited edition sets are thoughtfully curated to provide a holistic self-care experience, blending mindfulness, relaxation, and love into every box.
In a world shaped by patriarchal norms, the interconnected issues of race, class, and gender are overlooked and often trivialized. Self-care is a radical step toward reclaiming power and dismantling the damaging stereotypes that are designed to keep us divided and believing we are powerless. By choosing Here I Am, you’re investing in your well-being and you’re supporting a regenerative economy that uplifts women, communities, and the planet.
As a proud certified B Corp, we are dedicated to creating a sustainable and inclusive self-care movement. Explore our creative and effective products, and join a community where your well-being and the health of the planet come first. Together, we can redefine what it means to thrive.
Creating space for women to show up for themselves.
In my mid-40s, I faced what I call the "trifecta of midlife": divorce, breast cancer, and menopause—three clubs no one ever wants to join. It was a time that tested my strength, resilience, and sense of self. But through it all, I learned a powerful lesson: we can either live by our own standards or allow others to dictate the rules.
By the time I met Robert, I had begun to embrace the importance of self-care—taking time for myself, setting healthy boundaries, and understanding how my well-being impacted not just me, but everyone around me. Together, we founded Here I Am to nurture and honor the inner strength of women everywhere.
Our mission is simple yet profound: to help women reclaim their power, joy, and sense of self through self-love and well-being. We believe in the transformative power of self-care—not as a luxury but as a necessity.
Your life, your body, your choice. We stand with you, every step of the way.

Supporting Women Entrepreneurs
At Here I Am, we’re more than a self-care brand—we’re a movement. Did you know that nearly one in every three entrepreneurs running established businesses is a woman? Yet, women entrepreneurs often face unique challenges that men don’t, from balancing work and life responsibilities to breaking barriers in male-dominated industries and overcoming limited access to networks and capital.
That’s why we’re committed to building a community of women supporting women. Every product in our handpicked line of luxurious, sustainable self-care essentials is crafted by women-owned small businesses that are creating a better world for themselves, their families, and their communities. When you invest in your self-care from Here I Am, you are investing in another woman's dream.
Together, we’re breaking down barriers, fostering economic empowerment, and creating a ripple effect of positive change. Join us in celebrating the strength, resilience, and creativity of women entrepreneurs. With every purchase, you’re not just nurturing yourself—you’re uplifting women and building a more equitable future.
Our Stress-Free Guarantee
We strive to ensure every product we carry is crafted with care, from high-quality, plant-based and organic ingredients to thoughtfully designed packaging that supports the planet.
We know that shopping online comes with some challenges:
- You can't touch or smell the products.
- You can't take them with you.
- What will the shipping cost and how long will it take?
All this can add stress to your shopping experience. That's why we have a stress-free guarantee: free shipping to US addresses and free returns if you are unsatisfied.
Because we aren't happy if you aren't happy.
Zero-Waste Packaging and Lower Impact Shipping
Our Zero Waste program reduces waste and emissions in packaging and shipping.
Our packaging is 100% reusable, compostable, or recyclable.
For our boxes, we partner with Boox, a company focused on eliminating single-use materials. The iconic blue Boox box is made from lightweight polypropylene and if returned can be reused and eventually recycled into new boxes. Easy drop-off locations make returns simple, helping to promote a circular economy. To learn more, visit the Boox website.
Our policy to always offer free ground shipping within the US promotes its use over air shipping, as ground shipping is approximately 3 to 8 times less carbon-intensive than air freight.
Supporting the Atrium Foundation
Here I Am is a proud supporter of the Atrium Foundation, an organization that helps pay bills for people affected by cancer. Our partnership with the Atrium Foundation is one way we can support our community of small business owners in a time of need.
