As a former competition martial artist, Kraft has been immersed in Chinese philosophy and medicine for most of his life.

That experience led to a life-long interest in Chinese medicine, a complete professional system of healthcare.

He has a masters degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine (cum laude), from the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, one of the oldest and most respected schools of acupuncture in the U.S., and completed additional graduate studies in counseling and clinical hypnotherapy.

He is also a Certified Hypnotherapist with the National Guild of Hypnotists.
