Stephanie Draus, ND, is the owner and director of Stellaria Natural Health. Raised in the suburbs of Chicago, she graduated Magna cum Laude from Loyola University of Chicago, where she received a BA in Theatre and a BS in Anthropology. After college, she lived and worked in Brooklyn, New York, followed by Portland, Oregon, where she received a four-year Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from National College of Naturopathic Medicine, a fully accredited Naturopathic Medical College. Here in Illinois, she practices as a health consultant.

Much of her clinical academic work was done at Outside-IN, a renowned clinic and community center for homeless youth, located in Portland. There she honed her diagnostic skills while treating everything from highly infectious diseases to run-of-the-mill colds with both natural and conventional medicine. In addition, she spent several clinical rotations working with patients in various stages of addiction recovery, treating mental and physical conditions of acute and longstanding duration, while assisting her patients to stay clean and sober.

Stephanie has practiced yoga for 20 years, and is an accomplished dancer and performer. She has not owned a car since 1996, preferring to commute on foot, by bike, and by public transportation. Dealing with her own injuries, strains, and aches has given her great insight and interest in helping her patients overcome pain and inflammation to discover true joy in movement.

Stephanie's clinical interests include addiction recovery, women’s health, mental health, digestive disorders, mind-body medicine, and physical medicine. She thrives on helping patients create real, lasting changes in their lives and in their relationship to their bodies. She believes that the key to profound healing is empowerment, and that the patient is the best source of information about their own ailments and the road to health.

She is the founder of The Warrior Project, an organization dedicated to the prevention of domestic violence by helping women discover their own inherent strength. She is also the founder of Hafla in the Square, a belly dance celebration held regularly at Stellaria.

Kelly McCann

Certified Rolf Practitioner,

Registered Craniosacral Therapist

Kelly is a Registered Dental Hygienist, Certified Rolf ® Practitioner, and a Registered Craniosacral Therapist.  She received her certification as a Rolfer by the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration in Boulder, Colorado in 2003. Her interest in craniosacral work was inspired by one of her instructors at the institute and she began studying at the International School of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy with Michael Shea in 2004.  She was Certified in 2006 and has assisted Michael Shea and Ginger Crisenberry in foundation level one trainings.

Rolfing and biodynamic craniosacral therapy are the two somatic practices that have had the most profound effect on her life.  She decided to become a practitioner of both modalities in order to continue learning about them and to be able to share what she has learned with others to promote health and wellness. Kelly suffered with chronic pain from a whiplash injury, a TMJ surgery and repetitive stress syndrome. By the age of 26, she could barely move or live in her body and her career in dental hygiene exacerbated the pain. After learning about Rolfing from her physical therapist, she signed up for the classic series of 10 treatments. During the series, she was able to stop taking pain medications and anti-inflammatories. Overjoyed and impressed by the relief she'd received, she moved to Boulder within 6 months of her 10 series to become a student at the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration. Kelly's experience increased her sensitivity to the pain of others, and inspired her to spread the word about the benefits of her work.

Kelly works with those experiencing chronic and acute pain, as well as those who wish to prevent injury and improve muscle efficiency.

Kelly’s Rolfing experience includes clients suffering from scoliosis, mild osteoporosis, repetitive stress syndromes, whiplash, and chronic pain, as well as yogis and triathletes.  Her craniosacral experience includes working with anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress syndrome, and chiari 1 malformations. She is a member of the International Association of Structural Integrators (IASI) and a member of the Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Association of North America. 

In her spare time she enjoys hiking, meditation, yoga, and walking by the lake.

In addition, Debbie has provided group supervision to masters-level professionals seeking their LCPC/LCSW.
