About Us
Sustainable essentials from ethically responsible brands for your self-care rituals.
Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s survival
And the truth is, you deserve to thrive.
At Here I Am, our purpose is to help people who are feeling overwhelmed reclaim their well-being without guilt—because when you're last on your own to-do list, burnout isn't far behind.
Our curated self-care boxes and sustainable wellness products are designed for women tired of "powering through" without respite. Each item, from soothing aromatherapy candles to rejuvenating skincare, is handpicked from women-owned small businesses, so your ritual nourishes you and uplifts others.
Creating space for women to show up for themselves.
In my late 40s, I experienced a midlife trifecta that many women face: divorce, a stalled career, and menopause. This challenging period tested my confidence, resilience, and sense of identity. I felt as though I was being erased, rendered irrelevant by a culture that values youthful beauty above all else.
I realized that I had a choice: I could either play it safe and continue conforming to other people's expectations, or I could start living by my own rules. I had to show up for myself.
So, I chose me. Here I am.
Our mission is simple: 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. It is not a luxury. It is a necessity.
This is your one life. You can decide how to live it. It is your body. It's up to you to take care of it.

Self-Care as Resistance: Uplift Yourself, Uplift All Women
At Here I Am, self-care is a radical act. In a world where women are expected to pour into everyone but themselves, choosing your well-being disrupts a system built on your exhaustion.
The truth? Women launch half of all businesses but receive just 2% of venture capital. We’re told to “lean in,” yet face barriers—from unequal pay to shouldering unpaid caregiving labor.
That's why we partner exclusively with women-owned small businesses working hard to resist the status quo and thrive.
Our Stress-Free Guarantee
We get it—buying wellness products online can feel risky. That’s why we offer:
✓ Free US shipping
✓ Hassle Free returns
✓ Transparent sourcing
Your peace of mind is part of the package.
