Goddess & Grove was created by two moms with a shared love of crystals, spirituality, beautiful things, and—if we’re being completely honest—a healthy appreciation for the weird and wonderful.
But we wanted to create something that went a little deeper than simply selling pretty rocks.
We believe spirituality should feel welcoming, personal, and accessible. There is no “right” way to connect with crystals, explore your intuition, create a ritual, or simply surround yourself with things that make you happy. You don’t need to know all the terminology. You don’t need to follow a particular path. And you definitely don’t need anyone’s permission.
Everything at Goddess & Grove is chosen with intention—from crystals and sacred goods to oddities, gifts, and the wonderfully unexpected things we simply couldn’t leave behind.
Our hope is that this becomes more than a place to shop. We want Goddess & Grove to be a place to learn, explore, laugh, ask questions, and discover what speaks to you.
Because your path is yours.
We’re just really happy you found your way into our Grove. 💜
Meet the Women Behind the Grove
Nikkie Howard
Hi, I’m Nikkie, co-owner of Goddess & Grove. I'm a mom of four, wife to my husband Damion for 20 years, lifelong retail girl, entrepreneur, Reiki Master, Advanced Crystal Practitioner, Certified Angel Guide, genealogy rabbit-hole enthusiast, chronic volunteer, crystal collector…and the owner of enough pens, and markers that my family would probably stage an intervention if they thought it would work.
Spoiler alert: it wouldn’t.
I’ve spent most of my adult life working in retail management, so creating spaces where people feel welcome, comfortable, and genuinely cared for has always been a huge part of who I am. I also previously owned my own brick-and-mortar store, Purple Bird Studios, which taught me a whole lot about small business, community, and the unique combination of passion, determination, caffeine, and mild insanity required to be an entrepreneur.
Over the past several years, my love for crystals and all things metaphysical has grown from an interest into a true passion and an important part of my life. The deeper I traveled on my own journey, the more I knew there was no way I could keep it just for myself. I wanted to find a way to weave that passion into my life while helping other people explore their own paths.
That passion eventually helped lead me to Goddess & Grove.
I believe spirituality is deeply personal. There isn’t one “right” way to explore it, and you certainly don’t need to have everything figured out before you begin. Whether you’ve been working with crystals for decades, are exploring your spiritual side for the first time, or simply picked up a rock because it was pretty and now own 47 of them—we get it.
When I’m not working on Goddess & Grove, there’s a good chance I’m researching my family history and becoming emotionally invested in the life of someone who died 150 years ago. Genealogy and family history are huge passions of mine, and I can disappear down a research rabbit hole faster than I’d probably like to admit.
Goddess & Grove is another chapter of that story. My hope is that when you shop with us, you find more than something beautiful to take home. Maybe you find something that speaks to you, makes you curious, and helps you reconnect with yourself.

Hi, I’m Tia-Marie, co-owner of Goddess & Grove—a modern metaphysical space created for those who are curious, creative, a little unconventional, and ready to embrace more of who they are.
For me, the idea of the inner goddess became especially meaningful after becoming a mother. Since giving birth to my six-month-old son, I’ve experienced a sense of awakening and connection to myself that I had never felt before. Motherhood has encouraged me to slow down, grow, heal, explore, and discover new parts of myself—and that journey is a huge inspiration behind Goddess & Grove.
At Goddess & Grove, we bring together crystals, oddities, stickers, and other unique treasures with the intention of creating a space where everyone can explore their own path. Whether you’re drawn to the mystical, the unusual, the beautiful, or simply looking for something that speaks to your soul, there’s room for you here.
Outside of the shop, I’m a middle school dance coach, and dance has always been one of my greatest forms of expression. To me, dance is a portal—a way to move beyond words and allow the soul to speak. That same philosophy inspires the way I approach life, connection, and business.
I’m 21 years old with 7 years of experience in customer service and 2 years in marketing, but beyond my professional experience, I’m simply someone who is passionate about healing, growing, adventure, self-expression, and helping others discover their own magic.
Goddess & Grove is more than a business to me. It’s an invitation:
To embrace your weird.
To honor your growth.
To explore your magic.
To move with your soul.
And most importantly, to embrace your inner goddess.
