From the reviews
This is my second review, I have been seeing Shimaila for two years. I have noticed an immense improvement from the moment I first began this journey. I have been having hijama done monthly. Along coaching twice a month for the first 6 months. Hijama has helped cleanse my mind and body.
I have been seeing Ms. Shumaila for over 4 years. She's knowledgable, friendly, and gentle. In addition to her certification for hijama she has a background in science (pathology?).
Hijama is the best! Shumaila is very informative and makes you feel very comfortable. She recommended the head Hijama which I have been reluctant to do. She was patient with me and when I finally got it done.....what a BIG difference. The world would be a better place if we all got it done. Great job Shumaila!

Booking hijama (wet cupping) at Holistic Hijama Cupping & Healing Therapy
Holistic Hijama Cupping & Healing Therapy comes up as a provider that offers hijama — wet cupping, where the skin is lightly punctured after suction so a small amount of blood is drawn. If you're booking hijama specifically, a few things are worth asking before you go. First, sterility is everything — a reputable practitioner uses a fresh, single-use kit (new blades and cups) for every client and follows clean, gloved technique. It's completely fair to ask how they handle this. Second, many people booking hijama want a same-gender practitioner — a female practitioner is available here. Third, ask about aftercare and whether they observe particular days if that matters to you.
What to expect from your first cupping session
New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.
