The Origin

The story of IAMMI begins with a baby girl, Olympia. Soon after her birth, Olympia was diagnosed with quadriplegic spastic cerebral palsy and epilepsy and given a prognosis that left her parents devastated. Searching for ways to cope, Olympia’s mother started to repurpose the empty time she spent washing her face into a self-care practice. In this quiet time, she’d remind herself to let go of what she couldn’t control and focus on what she could. She began to feel stronger. As she studied the brain to learn about Olympia’s condition, she started to understand the science behind daily, repeated habits and why this simple action was having such profound results. 

Olympia’s mother is IAMMI founder, Mimi Gilmour Buckley. The wellbeing practice she started inspired IAMMI. Over the last six years, while Olympia has grown and thrived, so too has this idea. Mimi has brought in partners and experts, researching, testing, learning and shaping, slowly building the heart-led, science-backed concept you see here: products and platforms that flip everyday routines into wellbeing habits. Our goal is for you to feel confident and capable in just five minutes a day.

The Team

To bring IAMMI to life, Mimi asked her old friend Lucinda East Kennedy, a writer and storyteller with an editor’s eye for collecting and sharing information, to join her as co-founder. They then brought on two founding partners: Sydney Crocker, a digital product expert who guided the development of our app, and Christine Hames, who, with decades' of experience specialising in the skin, leads our product formulations.

In 2022, we launched a Kickstarter campaign for presales of our skincare. Since then, over 300 incredible supporters have patiently waited for our launch. Team, thank you so much. You know who you are. And now everyone else does too!
