Yes. Because we operate as a Private Health Membership Association (PHMA), all services are offered exclusively to our Members. You’ll be prompted to complete a simple membership agreement during the booking process, and it must be signed prior to the start of your first appointment.

A Private Health Membership Association (PHMA) is a structure that allows us to work with clients privately, based on shared values and goals, outside the limitations of the public, state-regulated healthcare system. At The Rapha Center, this means you can receive truly personalized, faith-rooted naturopathic care without the restrictions often found in conventional healthcare models.
As a Member, you gain access to services, education, and wellness tools that uphold naturopathic principles and support your body’s God-designed ability to heal. The PHMA framework gives us the freedom to focus on what matters most: restoring health at the root, without needing to diagnose, prescribe, or operate within a medicalized framework.
Membership is simple, complimentary, and completed during your first booking (or prior to your first consultation or service). It allows us to serve you naturally, privately, and in full alignment with your values, without compromise.

Yes! Many of our offerings are available to Members who are not local to us or who simply prefer to work with us remotely. Through both phone and video sessions, we are able to offer the same level of personalized care, guidance, and support no matter where you live. Distance support includes naturopathic consultations, iridology/sclerology assessments, and more. Please see virtual booking options under each description on our SERVICES page.

No. The Rapha Center does not bill insurance or provide superbills, as we operate fully outside the conventional healthcare system through our Private Health Membership Association (PHMA). This structure allows us to offer care that is truly naturopathic and focused on getting to the root cause of health concerns—without the red tape of diagnostic codes, time limits, or insurance restrictions.
We currently accept credit cards, debit cards, and cash for all services, with payment collected at the time of booking or appointment. Some members have successfully used their HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) cards to pay for services. While we can’t guarantee approval, you are welcome to try using your HSA/FSA card at checkout. Approval depends on your provider’s policies and how they categorize wellness-related expenses.

Yes. The Rapha Center is firmly rooted in Biblical principles and Scripture-based healing. Our approach honors the Creator, YHWH, and focuses on holistic care that addresses the body, soul, and spirit according to His design. We do not incorporate New Age or secular spiritual practices. While we welcome Members from all backgrounds, our work honors Scriptural truth and reflects a faith-centered approach to naturopathic healing.

Yes, absolutely.
If you’re pregnant and seeing a doctor or midwife, my goal is to complement the care you’re already receiving. At The Rapha Center, you’ll be met with natural tools, guidance, and encouragement to help you navigate pregnancy with confidence and peace so you can make informed decisions and prepare for a birth that aligns with your values. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, considering home birth, or somewhere in between, you’re welcome here.
If you’re seeking support for other health concerns while working with another healthcare provider, we’re here to walk alongside you with holistic, faith-rooted naturopathic care. Our goal is to empower you with natural therapies, lifestyle support, and personalized wellness plans—outside of the traditional medical model—that honor your body’s God-designed ability to heal. Our services are designed to work in harmony with, and as a complement to, your existing care team.
