Goodness Gracious the health and lifestyle store has been quietly nourishing the local community with natural remedies, wellness essentials and alternative products that can be hard to find elsewhere.
Stepping into the store, visitors are met with an impressive selection of Ayurvedic medicine, medicinal mushrooms, herbal teas, and supplements, from magnesium, zinc in liquid colloidal form to black seed and oregano oils, known for their immune and digestive support. Popular products like castor oil and bone broth reflect a growing interest in holistic healing, with the store offering education and advice to match.
Current owner Jackie Movigliatti said the health industry has boomed in the last few years, and the store has an opportunity for growth. Jackie has run the shop for the past three years and said the experience has been both educational and rewarding.
Beyond health, shoppers will find organic pantry staples, raw local honey, eco-friendly cleaning products, Celtic sea salt, crystals, and essential oils. A corner of the shop is also devoted to festival fashion, with flowing linen, cotton wear, and vibrant pieces brought in especially for events like Mushroom Valley and Flametree Gathering.
Originally opened as a health store, the business expanded into clothing and giftware and has become a unique blend of wellness, lifestyle and creativity.
Jackie is now preparing to return to her passion for yoga and relocate to an ashram. She’s seeking a new owner to continue the store’s legacy. “There’s so much more potential here, especially for someone passionate about natural health.”
