Our Story
Triple Goddess Apothecary grew from a very personal journey.
A cancer diagnosis became a turning point in our lives. Through the cycle of treatment—and I call it a cycle because I beat it—I began looking more closely at the products and supplements I was using and felt the need to get back to nature. Not necessarily organic, but natural.
That curiosity led me to make my first product: a tincture made with homegrown oregano and vodka. I had seen the recipe somewhere online, and because it was made with natural ingredients, I wanted to try it. It worked wonderfully for me, and from there, my interest in herbs and natural products continued to grow.
Our experience also shaped another important part of Triple Goddess Apothecary: affordability. During my journey through cancer, my family paid the price of the exorbitant healthcare I had to endure. We wanted to be able to offer natural health and beauty products that people could actually afford, without feeling like choosing natural products has to cost an arm and a leg.
Why Triple Goddess?
The name Triple Goddess has a two-fold meaning for us.
With my Scottish heritage and my more recent journey
into Druid and Pagan fellowship, the Celtic trilogy of the
Triple Goddess spoke to me. Supporting my wife through
her own menopause and weight-loss journeys also made me
realize that women transition through the phases of Maiden,
Mother, and Crone repeatedly throughout their lives.
But those phases have also come to represent my own journey.
For me, chemotherapy basically reset my body, causing a physical
and spiritual rebirth. Beginning that new phase of life was the
Maiden period. Using herbs and natural foods to nourish my body
became the Mother stage, where I was nurturing that new body.
After months of research and learning about herbs and essential
oils, I began leaning into the Crone, or Elder, stage—where I felt ready
to impart and share the wisdom I had gained from my research.
The Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone represent different energy stages of the life cycle. The cycle is not linear. It’s cyclic. You can be going through several of the cycles at the same time, just spiraling up as high as you can take it.
That belief has become part of what we want Triple Goddess Apothecary to represent.
We want to help the Maiden as she begins a new phase. To assist the Mother as she nurtures and grows. And to provide the wisdom and knowledge of the Crone.
Ultimately, we want people to feel safe, natural, and free—free to be their natural selves. As Triple Goddess Apothecary grows, we hope to continue learning, creating, and sharing products rooted in natural ingredients while remaining accessible to the people who use them.
Above all, we hope Triple Goddess Apothecary represents wholesomeness through natural products and offers something meaningful through every phase of the cycle.
Rooted in Nature. Made for Living. Good for the Soul.
