About Us
Ryan & CJ Potter, Owners
At Serenity Sips Bar & Wellness Emporium, founders Ryan and CJ Potter have created more than just a business—they’ve built a wellness café that blends handcrafted drinks, non-invasive wellness services, and curated lifestyle products into one intentional, community-rooted space. Located in Spring/The Woodlands, TX, Serenity Sips is proudly veteran- and woman-owned, with a mission to make wellness feel welcoming, accessible, and grounded in real life.
Ryan Potter brings over 31 years of experience in leadership, customer service, and operations. His people-first approach and deep sense of integrity are shaped by a family legacy of military service, including his father’s 29 years in the U.S. Army.
CJ Potter, a trained medic in the U.S. Army National Guard, holds an MBA from Sam Houston State University and a Naturopathy Practitioner Certification from Scholistico. Since 2011, she has also served as Practice Manager for Dr. Mila McManus at The Woodlands Institute for Health & Wellness, where she oversees operations, research integration, HR, and care quality. CJ’s background bridges military discipline, medical training, and holistic wellness, shaping her commitment to building sustainable, community-first wellness experiences.
Together, Ryan and CJ have infused Serenity Sips with intention, warmth, and purpose. From ceremonial matcha and wellness lattes to recovery sessions and clean, curated retail, Serenity Sips invites guests to reset, refuel, and reconnect. Their shared vision continues to shape the space as a calm, creative hub for healing, connection, and everyday well-being.
