True health is achieved through the constant balance and synergy of these three interconnected factors, physical, mental and spiritual, each equally important and influencing the others.
Rapha Health & Wellness opened in 2013 with a vision to help all ages find a better path to wellness.
“When I was a young nurse in my early twenties, an elderly patient looked at me and said, 'Honey, enjoy these years, because the golden years aren’t golden.' Over the last 25 years, that statement has stayed with me, and I’ve asked myself why that is.
I’ve worked with many people, young and old, who felt much older than they actually were. Over the years, I realized that simply administering symptom-suppressing medications did little to return my patients to a healthy life. This began my journey to discover what works with the body’s natural systems to help people truly get better so they can enjoy their golden years.”
— Kimberly Potter, Natural Health Practitioner

My philosophy: I believe that our bodies are amazing instruments. The more I work with helping the body to heal itself, I am certain that an amazing Creator designed us with intention.
I believe our bodies know how to be healthy. We get exposed to toxins in our environment, chemicals in our diets, bacteria, and viruses from a very young age. Our bodies speak to us through symptoms, but many times we mask the symptoms with over the counter or prescriptive medications.
It’s important to learn how to listen to what our symptoms are saying and identify health challenges so we support the body properly. It is my goal to have quality of life with the number of days I have on this earth, and I would like to help you achieve the same.
I love to go boating, walking, bikeriding, quilting and reading a book with a great cup of coffee.

I have a natural health background and education of my own, and longtime clients will remember that side of my work here. Now I handle the things that keep the practice running: scheduling, billing, our online courses, and the technical pieces that tend to trip people up. If something isn't working, or you're not sure who to ask, start with me and I'll get it sorted.
Outside of work you'll find me four wheeling, rollerblading, hiking the North Shore, hunting down a new coffee shop, or spending time with my family.

I'm usually the first person you'll hear from when you reach out to us. I handle scheduling, phone calls, product orders, and general questions about the practice, and I'll make sure you get what you need without being passed around.
In my free time I enjoy being outside, gardening, and spending time with my family.

I'm usually the first voice you'll hear at Rapha. Whether you need to schedule an appointment, ask about a product order, or just aren't sure who to ask, I'm the one who takes care of it. I'm patient with questions and I follow through, which is most of what you want from the person answering the phone.
In my free time I love to hang with my friend, craft and go on long walks.

We ask you to apply first. It takes a few minutes, and it lets us see what you've been dealing with before you invest in the program. It's a preliminary step to make sure we're the right fit for you. During your initial consultation we'll go deeper into what's been going on and decide together whether the GI Restore Program is your right first step.
