Goodness Gracious, A Wealth Of Health

The warm glow of salt lamps, the sweet perfume of an aromatherapy diffuser, a mesmerising backflow waterfall burner or a glass vase moulded into timber – these are just some of the gift ideas that can transform homes into havens this festive season.

They adorn the shelves of Goodness Gracious at the Whitsunday Shopping Centre in Cannonvale and the stores new owner, Jacki Movigliatti, invites everyone to come and browse the wide selection of healthy, organic, and alternative items she has for sale.

“We have leather, timber and embroidered diaries which are very popular this time of year,” she said.

“We also stock a variety of candles, incense, bath salts, massage oils and an entire range of ‘Boody’ which is bamboo clothing – everything from sleepwear to active wear.”

Jacki has just taken over the reins of the longstanding health and organic produce business and said she is looking forward to continuing the good work of the previous owner while introducing some fresh ideas along the way.

“I’d like to bring some more wholefoods in, and I am looking at some pesticide free fruit and veg as well,” she said.

Originally from Townsville and having spent many years in the Atherton Tablelands, Jacki moved to the Whitsundays six years ago for a fresh start.

A yoga teacher for the past 20 years, she has also been an Ayurveda –a traditional medicine system native to India- practitioner for the last five.

Looking to get back into the health industry, she jumped at the opportunity to become the new owner of Goodness Gracious.

With a reputation for its diverse range of health produce, the store stocks everything from spices to vitamins, beauty products to cushions and mats.

Jacki is also ordering some Christmas themed health foods this year, including specialist tea, gherkins and organic olives.

Head into Goodness Gracious today and enjoy a wealth of health while supporting local this festive season.
