From the reviews
I strongly reccomend Dr. Kay Park at Jima Institute for anyone who is needing holistic treatments. I have been a previous patient of hers receiving cupping, massage, and acupuncture treatments which have helped me immensely physically as well as emotionally as I am very active at a busy office as well as a Zumba…
Dr Kay saved my life. I had an acute lower back pain and nothing really worked until Dr Kay treated me. Unlike other clinics, she spent time for thorough examination and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. Dr Kay is a master of cupping therapy, which instantly relieved the pain.
Dr. Park is a traditional Chinese Medicine doctor who is compassionate, thoughtful, and extremely knowledgeable. She answers my questions about my health issues with detailed explanations on how her treatment plan works.
What a fabulous treatment process! I had chronic back pain and had given up on options. I found Western medicine treats the symptoms, but rarely ever the root cause. At the Jima Institute I was treated with a combination of cupping therapy and herbal medicine. I am pain free for the first time in years. Thank you!
Booking hijama (wet cupping) at Jima Institute of Holistic Medicine
Jima Institute of Holistic Medicine 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.
