Dr. Maya Krayem is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine registered with the College of Acupuncturists of Alberta. She holds a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture diploma from the Canadian Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine (CITCM) and a Bachelor’s degree in Acupuncture and Moxibustion from Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where she completed a five-month clinical residency across specialties including gynecology, gastroenterology, and pain management. Dr. Krayem also serves as Clinic Coordinator and Safety Officer at CITCM, where she supports student interns in developing their clinical skills, reflecting her passion for sharing the medicine she so deeply believes in.

Her path into medicine began at home.

Watching her sister thrive with traditional medicine, she discovered her calling: to help others feel whole again.

Dr. Krayem has a particular interest in gynecology and women’s health, digestive health, and mental health, and also treats pain, injury, and sleep concerns. Her treatments may include acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, electroacupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, gua sha, tui na, and lifestyle and dietary guidance.
