We recently connected with Tomekia Latoya and have shared our conversation below.

Tomekia, appreciate you joining us today. We’d love to hear the backstory of how you established your own practice.

Creating a space for individuals who are seeking products, knowledge, and information about herbal medicine has been an amazing journey.

Tomekia, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

Peace, I am Tomekia Latoya the founder and owner of Errapel Wellness which was birthed from me just being the person that I am, wanting to care for my loved ones by using natural things such as herbs and essential oils. So by me being a mother, a wife, a daughter, and a friend that wanted to take care of her people, I was able to create natural products such as herbal baths soaks, herbal tea blends, and salves to help them with different ailments. This was the start of my becoming a herbalist which then lead to me creating Errapel Wellness.

Errapel Wellness is rooted in herbal and aromatherapy healing. We provide products such as bulk-dried herbs, herbal bath soaks, essential oils, salves, tea blends, and more. We also provide services such as workshops/classes and one on one consultations,

What I believe sets myself and Errapel apart from others is that I aim to be of service and to educate individuals so that they may have a complete picture with all the facts so that they may make the proper choices when it comes to taking care of themselves.

What I am most proud of is that by me just being who I am and wanting to take care of my loved ones I was able to create something that now allows for me to share with others so that they may do the same. It is all by the Devine and Most High that I am able to serve in this way.

Can you open up about how you managed the initial funding?

Before starting Errapel I was a stay-at-home mom, homeschooling my children, and making herbal medicine for ourselves. My husband made daily sacrifices by traveling to take care of our family.

So the way I came to put together the initial capital to start Errapel Wellness is by having a supportive husband who not only gave me the push and supported my decision in creating this business but also agreed for us to use our family savings.

We invested in ourselves to create Errapel.

Other than training/knowledge, what do you think is most helpful for succeeding in your field?

The most helpful thing in succeeding in this field is to know that you will always be a student even when you become the teacher.

The world of herbalism is everlasting and continues to grow. There will always be new things to learn about herbs, herbal medicine, and how they serve individuals.
