Biography
I’m an experienced Acupuncturist and Doctor of Chinese Medicine, women’s health expert, a compassionate healer, mom of two and a curious and avid learner. I started my journey to learning the science of traditional Chinese medicine back in 1998. I launched my clinical practice in 2002 and have since helped thousands of people improve their health using the methods and wisdom found in Chinese medicine. I have helped couples conceive, support expectant mothers in their pregnancies and postpartum time and help women to balance their hormones & menstrual cycles. My clinical practice was established on principles of sincere love for people, scholarship in the field of Chinese medicine, and passion to apply the healing methods of Chinese medicine to help people on their road to improving their health. I love treating fertility and women's health and supporting women through their pregnancies. I was also one of the pioneer practitioners in the greater Vancouver area trained in Cosmetic Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation and love the results it gives my patients. For almost 20 years, I have successfully treated a range of conditions such as PMS, irregular menstrual cycles, menstrual pain, endometriosis, PCOS, infertility, morning sickness, insufficient lactation and postpartum depression and acne. I strive to make sure my patients are heard, understood, and genuinely cared for and treat my patients with compassion and a high level of knowledge and experience. In your visit with me, you can expect a soothing comfortable atmosphere, a gentle touch and a friendly welcoming smile. Traditional Chinese Medicine has been helping millions of people for thousands of years! I'm excited to share this powerful medicine with you! In 2002 I completed the doctorate program in TCM at the International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Vancouver Canada and a portion of my clinical training in mainland China. I’m licensed with the CTCMA as a Registered Doctor of TCM and a Registered Acupuncturist. Previous to my training in Chinese Medicine, I studied General Biology at the University of British Columbia (UBC). I’ve had the opportunity to appear as a guest several times on Breakfast Television and CBC Living Vancouver. I’ve been interviewed by Chatelaine Magazine, Alive magazine and local newspapers. I’m a regular contributing author for Medicinal Roots Magazine. I’ve been a qualified examiner with the CTCMA of BC operating and evaluating the practical exams for both doctor of TCM and acupuncturist designations. Previous to becoming a Chinese medicine doctor, I worked as a nutritional consultant advising on diet, nutritional and herbal supplements, and sports nutrition and also assisted in research studies at Vancouver General Hospital (VGH) in the Cardiovascular and Nuclear Medicine research departments.

I am so grateful to have found Dr. Maryam when I needed support through a stressful time, and with feelings of burnout/fatigue, and pain. She is very caring, compassionate, supportive, a great listener, and a very skilled Chinese practitioner and acupuncturist. Her clinic is beautiful, peaceful, relaxing and in such a great location.
I always feel very relaxed and supported after my appointments - thank you Dr. Maryam!
