We had the good fortune of connecting with Harretta Tucker and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Harretta, do you have a favorite quote or affirmation?
One of my favorite quotes is: “We are our choices.” -Jean-Paul Sartre

I keep this quote in mind quite often, because it’s a reminder that each decision made will come with a consequence. Every facet of our lives is a reflection of the choices we once made at any given time. Whether it’s personal development, career based, relationship status, or health related – the choice is yours to make. So choose wisely!

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I founded Peace Within 111 in 2014, as an alternative for people who were seeking to care for themselves in a holistic manner. While working in the medical industry I often became frustrated with the over usage of pharmaceutical drugs. At times it felt as if the symptoms one was experiencing were truly masking the root cause of an ailment. In Western medicine the main focus is the physical body, but with holistic health the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual body is taken into account for the individual as a whole.

For instance, while being a nurse if one was experiencing lower back pain I would dispense Tylenol or a narcotic. Now as a holistic health practitioner, if a client comes to me with a complaint of lower back pain, I immediately take into account if they’re experiencing anxiety, feeling ungrounded, or fearful. Because I now know that these stressors could possibly be the cause of the pain.

I believe what sets me apart from other healers is that I have twenty years of nursing experience, therefore I’m familiar with science as well as metaphysics. People tend to trust me because I’m a nurturer by nature. Since I was a young child I had the desire to help others heal. I never imagined that I would be able to touch one’s body and immediately sense what they were feeling emotionally and physically. It’s such a beautiful gift to have and share with my clientele.

I am excited about entering the community of podcasting. I recently started my podcast, “Healing with Harretta” a few weeks ago. This will provide an opportunity to share my story, discuss spiritual growth, and holistic healing. It’s my intention to have intimate conversations, profound teachings, and offer practical techniques for the well being of my listeners.

My entrepreneurial journey has truly evolved over the last decade. The biggest lesson I’ve learned along the way is, to not get discouraged if family and friends don’t support you the way that you expect. This circle around you should not be your primary focus. Trust that those in need of what you have to offer will find you in due time. Don’t sweat the small stuff!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
The city of Dayton is known as “The Gem City.” One of the places that should be treasured as much as a precious stone is the Cox Arboretum. Whenever I want to connect with nature you can find me taking in this beautiful place. Whether it’s walking on a trail, watching flowers bloom, or sitting in silence, this place brings a smile to my face.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to give a shoutout to my Mother! She has been so supportive throughout the years of building my business, Peace Within 111. Whether it was helping me set up as a vendor, proofreading presentations, handing out flyers, or giving words of encouragement, she has been there every step of the way. She always lends a listening ear whenever I need to share my thoughts and feelings on any given subject. Which was especially necessary when I decided to leave my nursing career to become an entrepreneur and specialize in holistic healing. I’m very grateful for her understanding of my passion and purpose. She’s my biggest supporter and I don’t take that for granted.
