Our global philosophy of personal health
Before pursuing Chinese medicine, Dr. Kraus trained as a Chinese linguist in the US Navy, becoming fluent in Mandarin and familiar with Daoist philosophy. This exposure, coupled with environmental justice organizing and degrees in Environmental Studies and East Asian Language & Culture, underscored the interconnectedness of individual and global wellness.
Dr. Kraus’ journey emphasized that personal health reverberates into the world’s health—socially, ecologically, politically, and economically. This understanding drives their mission: to help individuals experience health and purpose, thereby contributing to a healthier, more harmonious world.
“Ultimate healing is self-actualization—the moment we begin to experience ourselves as continuous with the universe. When we remember this, healing ripples outward, mending families, communities, and the world.”
— Dr. Schuyler Kraus | Dipl. O.M., L.Ac
