Grand opening, ribbon cutting for Triple Goddess Wellness Center

MILO — Triple Goddess Wellness, a unique blend of café, boutique and apothecary, is redefining  what it means to be a local community hub. Celebrating local artisans, natural wellness and Maine’s small-town charm, the business was founded by Andrea Witham and Shannon Lord, who combined their experience, creativity and passion for holistic living to bring this vision to life.  

Andrea Witham, a Brownville Junction native, brings a lifelong appreciation for small-town values and Maine’s natural beauty. With a background in customer service, healthcare and business management, she combines compassion and community connection. Witham’s passion for her craft  comes to life in the kitchen as she prepares handcrafted teas and tea syrups, coffee, herbal blends and plant-based remedies, as well as freshly baked goods. 

Lord has called Maine “home” for 15 years. Her background in healthcare, business management and herbalism education, coupled with her passion for community wellness informs the signature drinks and seasonal blends that capture the  comfort and rhythm of Maine life. Working side by side, Lord and Witham bring a fusion of creativity through their offerings, and something fresh and new to Milo.

“At its heart, Triple Goddess Wellness exists to bring people together — to share good food and drinks, celebrate local creativity and nurture both body and spirit,” they said. 

The café offers artisan espresso drinks, herbal latte infusions and seasonal creations such as chaga chai, maple lattes and spiced hot cocoa, all thoughtfully crafted to highlight both flavor and wellness. Guests can also explore handcrafted herbal teas and wellness elixirs designed to support balance, energy, relaxation and overall health, alongside fresh baked goods from local bakers.  

The space features a nostalgic Candy Corner honoring the beloved Jones Market penny candy counter,  as well as a curated boutique of natural and handcrafted products from Maine artisans, including self care items, wellness tools and gift-able treasures. A dedicated boutique-style medical cannabis shop provides high-quality medicinal products in a separate area, maintaining a safe and welcoming environment for all visitors.  

Piscataquis Chamber Director Denise Buzzelli said, “I love that Triple Goddess Wellness was  designed with the community in mind, and will be known as a hub for the locals to gather; the ladies offer local baked goods and highlight artisan creations and other local talent from the area; they’ll host workshops and events,” she said, adding, “they’ve created a family-friendly atmosphere that strengthens community connections, which is always exciting to the Chamber.”

Looking ahead, the founders plan to expand their specialty coffee and tea offerings, introduce new seasonal herbal blends and remedies and continue providing a space where wellness, creativity, and  connection flourish. Ultimately, Triple Goddess Wellness aims to be more than a destination for  drinks or remedies — it aspires to inspire healthier living, foster community pride and highlight the beauty of local collaboration.  

Triple Goddess Wellness will host its grand opening on Wednesday, Oct. 15 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the Chamber ribbon cutting will take place at noon at 33 Park St. This event is open to the public. Those who attend will be able to tour the space, sample offerings, enjoy giveaways and experience firsthand what makes this business so unique.  For more information, visit https://tgamaine.com/, call 207-943-9112 or stop by Triple Goddess Wellness in Milo to experience a space where wellness and community truly go hand in hand.
