Hi! I’m Dr. Cejaye, and my work is rooted in a lifelong love of the body; how it moves, adapts, heals, and tells its story. Living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) has been one of my greatest teachers, and has shaped the way I practice in a deeply personal way. I specialize in working with Ehlers-Danlos and other chronic conditions, bringing both clinical expertise and lived understanding to the table. I know firsthand the nuances of pain, instability, and nervous system sensitivity, and I approach this work with a level of care, precision, and respect that honours each person’s unique experience. I graduated from the Calgary College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture with my Doctor of Acupuncture designation, alongside completing my 2200-hour Registered Massage Therapy certification. My path into this medicine evolved naturally from over two decades of yoga practice and more than 1000 hours of training in yoga, anatomy, and Eastern philosophy. Along the way, I’ve also studied Sport Fitness Nutrition, Western Herbology, Iridology, Reflexology, Reiki, and Acusculpting. I’m the creator of Fascial Release Technique (FRT), a gentle yet deeply effective approach to relieving pain, supporting injury recovery, and restoring balance within the connective tissue system. I see fascia as a living, intelligent network; one that holds both structure and the stories we carry. My work is also guided by my spiritual path and teachings from Cree Elders, woven together with Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Eight Extraordinary Vessels, and Esoteric/Shamanic acupuncture. This allows treatments to move beyond symptom relief and into deeper physical, emotional, and energetic alignment. When you step into my space, you’re met with warmth, openness, and genuine care. I take time to deeply listen to what your body is communicating, and each treatment is thoughtfully tailored to meet you where you are. Sessions may include acupuncture, cupping, tuina massage, fascial release, Reiki, chakra balancing, and sound therapy, all guided by what you need in that moment. I support a wide range of concerns, including pain and injury recovery, scar tissue regeneration, trauma and emotional health, nervous system regulation, and chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia, TMJ, and Ehlers-Danlos. At the heart of my work is a simple intention: to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported; so your body can soften, recalibrate, and remember its natural capacity to heal.
Your first session includes a thorough intake where we discuss your health history, current concerns, and goals for treatment. I’ll assess your overall pattern from a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, and you’ll also receive a personalized acupuncture treatment during this visit.
