Esma El Merini, certified hijama practitioner
I'm Esma, a board-certified holistic practitioner who has practiced hijama for 29+ years. I opened my practice in the USA in 2014 and now see clients at two studios in Dallas–Fort Worth, in Richardson and Grapevine, and at health and wellness events.
My story
From the age of 10, when my late father introduced me to hijama, I was captivated by its healing art. That led me to extensive training with international institutions, where I earned multiple certifications and refined my skills.
In 2014, I established my practice in the USA, starting from a home office. Over time it has grown, and I now serve clients at two locations in Dallas–Fort Worth and at health and wellness events around the world.
How I work
I believe true wellness is more than the absence of illness. I see each person as a whole, with physical, emotional, mental and spiritual sides to their health, and I guide my clients with empathy, understanding and warmth.
Living with health challenges and looking for answers? I've been there too. Alongside hijama, I offer support, personalized guidance and a compassionate approach, so you can move through your health journey with confidence.
