Meet Your Therapists:
Karen Kraft, Acupuncture, Reflexology & Cupping
Karen Kraft, EAMP, RF (East Asian Medicine Practitioner and Reflexologist) graduated from the Seattle Institute of Oriental Medicine in 2002 with a Masters degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (M.Ac.O.M). She is licensed by the State of Washington, and is nationally certified by the NCCAOM in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine (Dipl.O.M.). Her postgraduate studies included extensive training in Chinese herbal gynecology with a specialist in Melbourne, Australia, as well as additional training in dermatology and trauma. In addition to her formal training, she has spent several years as a volunteer, providing care for low income populations in the U.S. and abroad. In 2007 she volunteered at the birthing center in Indonesia, treating women in all stages of pregnancy, including prenatal care, labor preparation, post-term pregnancy, breech-positioned babies, labor, and postpartum care. Karen has practiced acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine since 2003. In 2014 she also completed the reflexology program at Seattle Reflexology & Massage Center and became certified as a reflexologist (RF). Her acupuncture treatments integrate multiple modalities, including sliding cupping massage, tuina, and reflexology. The combination of these modalities has a deep calming effect on the nervous system, which allows the body to relax, repair, and rearrange stagnant patterns.
Natasa Dragas, Massage Therapy
My name is Natasa Dragas (pronounced Natasha Dragash). I am nationally certified and licensed massage therapist since 2006. I moved to America from Croatia in 1991 to escape the whole civil war in former Yugoslavia.
I received a nursing degree in Croatia(high school level) but upon arriving in America I pursued to study psychology and art, receiving a BFA from College of St. Catherine. St, Paul, MN.
I've been doing intuitive massage for fifteen years. Since 2006 I've been running my business in a chiropractic setting. After listening, talking and observing my clients I can sense where their pain is and through conscious touch I can help take their pain away.
My style is a combination of Deep Tissue Swedish massage with Orthopedic Massage, Myofascial Balancing, Abdominal Visceral Work, Cupping massage (silicone), Hot Stones, Sport Injury and Pregnancy/ Postpartum massage.
When I'm not busy running my massage business, I love spending my free time with my daughter and partner. We love to create art from day to day, we love to cook, dance, swim and listen to music. My passion is to travel to new exotic places, to dance, practice yoga, do pilates and water aerobic as well as swimming, camping and hiking with my family.

Kelly Kalkwarf, Neurofeedback Therapy
In 2018, I started to have difficulties due to years of chronically elevated stress causing mental fog, disorganization, mood swings, poor sleep, digestive, and other physical discomforts like dermatitis and heart palpitations.
NeurOptimal® cleared the dense fog I was living in allowing me to think clearly, even though my stressors didn't all go away. I felt relaxed, happy, and able to navigate life smoothly.
My own brain training has become more dynamic helping me break through barriers in so many aspects of my life. Helping me name and understand feelings and emotions again at a very profound level. I can see what is happening around me with a new perspective and greater understanding. I’m finding courage and a voice I didn’t know how to access before.
My next phase in life is to help others rediscover themselves. Offering Dynamical® neurofeedback with the NeurOptimal® system is a great fit to achieve this goal.
I’m so happy to be able to provide a service that gives people the opportunity to positively impact their own lives.
When you shine everyone around you can feel it!

Jill Theofelis, Reiki
My name is Jill Theofelis. I'm West Seattle native, born and raised. After many years in a high stress medical career, I've come to learn that helping people is uplifting and rewarding, but can frequently be draining. Burnout and upheaval in my life lead me to Reiki. It's an amazing modality that can shift your energy in the best way possible. It can be a wonderful compliment to other therapy and healing modalities. I'm so thankful Reiki found it's way into my life and I'd love the chance to share it with you! When I'm not performing Reiki, I love to spend time reading, enjoying music, taking photos and spending time with my frenchie.
