Everything in one place

The essentials.

Preparation, aftercare, contraindications and policies — short and clear.

Before your visit

Small preparations that open the body to receive.

  1. 01

    Hydrate deeply

    Drink plenty of water for at least 24 hours before. A well-watered body releases with more ease.

  2. 02

    Eat cleanly

    Avoid greasy, spicy, or inflammatory foods. Some also set aside caffeine and dairy — the aim is a quiet, prepared body.

  3. 03

    Leave the stomach light

    Stop eating 2 to 3 hours before. Keep drinking water freely.

  4. 04

    Shower gently

    Take a soft shower beforehand. No hard scrubbing or anything that fragilizes the skin.

  5. 05

    Dress softly

    Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Leave jewellery at home — necklaces, waist chains, anklets — anything that may obstruct the area we will work on.

  6. 06

    Come alone

    Children, partners, or family are welcome only by prior arrangement, so the space stays still.

  7. 07

    Arrive early

    Give yourself a few minutes to settle into the space before we begin.

After your session

Gentle tending so the release holds.

  1. 01

    Rest deeply

    You may feel a quiet spike of energy, but the body often asks for sleep. Being tired for 24 to 72 hours is normal — it is part of the work.

  2. 02

    Drink warm

    Plenty of fluids at room temperature or warm. Nothing ice-cold.

  3. 03

    Eat warm & clean

    Nourishing, simple food. Continue to avoid greasy, spicy, inflammatory, or freezing-cold foods.

  4. 04

    Tend the skin

    The area may feel uncomfortable, especially after deep suction. If it itches, apply a little natural oil — no scratching.

  5. 05

    Go slow with products

    For the first 24 hours, no chemicals on the skin. A gentle rinse is enough — no harsh soap, no scrubbing.

  6. 06

    Avoid heat & moisture

    No sauna, hammam, or anything that traps heat and moisture on the area for at least 48 hours.

  7. 07

    Move gently

    Avoid intense exercise for 24 to 48 hours. Let the body integrate what has moved.

When it is better to pause

Hijama is a beautiful practice when the body is ready. The following situations call for a conversation before booking:

  • Pregnancy
  • Blood thinners or anticoagulant medication
  • Severe anemia
  • Recent surgery or open wounds
  • Active infection or fever
  • Certain skin conditions on the treatment area
  • Uncontrolled chronic illness (please call to discuss)
