Meet the Doctor

Dr. Megan Thimmes, BCND, CCI
Founder of The Rapha Center

Dr. Megan holds multiple undergraduate degrees with concentrations in Biochemistry and Communications and has completed over eight years of combined graduate and doctoral-level study in nutrition and the healing sciences. Her depth of academic study over the years is only part of what shaped her passion for naturopathy and holistic care. The rest was formed through walking a long road to restoration herself. Dr. Megan and her husband have faced serious, life-altering health conditions—experiences that completely shifted her understanding of wellness, healing, and the deep connection between body, soul, and spirit, including Biblical principles she believes still hold true for healing today. These personal battles ignited her passion to seek true healing beyond symptom management or cookie-cutter protocols. She learned that real restoration takes time, discernment, and a shift of how we look at disease. Healing occurs when we remove what is hindering our healing and nourish what the Lord has made capable of restoration. It is deeply individual, and isn’t found in baskets of supplements, generic protocols, or downstream-focused testing that overlooks deeper root causes.

At The Rapha Center, Dr. Megan walks alongside Members through natural, faith-based evaluations and protocols that honor the body’s design, uniquely and intricately fashioned by the Creator YHWH. She specializes in bio-resonance scanning and Iridology/Sclerology, and uses these modalities, among others, to prayerfully guide precise, targeted naturopathic care. Each tool offers a unique window into the body’s inner terrain, helping reveal underlying stress patterns, organ imbalances, and areas in need of restoration, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Whether you’re dealing with chronic illness, overwhelm, emotional burdens, or simply feel unwell or disconnected from your health, healing is possible. Dr. Megan’s deepest desire is to see you walk in lasting wholeness , restored to the purpose God (YHWH) created you for. At The Rapha Center, you’ll find space to rest, be heard, and begin your own path to restoration. She would be honored to walk that path with you!

Dr. Megan Thimmes is a Board-Certified Naturopathic Doctor and IIPA Certified Comprehensive Iridologist. She is a wife, homeschooling mom of seven, and co-steward of The Rapha Center, a faith-based naturopathic wellness center devoted to restoring health through a personalized approach that aligns with both Biblical and naturopathic principles.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Megan is first and foremost a wife and mom to seven amazing kiddos, which means life is full, a little wild, and very rewarding. She finds the most joy when she’s with her family, usually doing something water-related or hiking/exploring a new place! Dr. Megan developed a strong passion for pregnancy and birth over the years (five of her seven children were born at home!), and she loves walking alongside other mamas who are desiring to grow their families. When she gets a quiet moment (rare, but treasured!), she’s probably deep-diving into her ever growing book collection. She loves to learn, but even more, loves sharing what she’s learned to help others live a life of vitality, joy & peace.
