Sarah M.

I travelled from Manchester specifically to train with Nasima. Her knowledge of Facial Hijama® is unmatched — you can tell she developed the technique herself. Highly recommend to any practitioner serious about their craft.

Aisha K.

The Fertility Hijama course changed my practice completely. Nasima explains the anatomy and protocols with such clarity. My clients have seen real results and I feel confident in every session.

Zainab H.

I had the NN Facial Hijama® treatment and the results were visible immediately. Nasima is so skilled and professional. The clinic is calm and welcoming. I will be back every month.

Mariam T.

Booked the Dual Body & Facial course and it was worth every penny. The small group size means you get real hands-on time. Nasima is patient, knowledgeable and genuinely invested in your success.

Nadia R.

The Swedish Massage dual course was fantastic. I now offer two services from one qualification. The accreditation is recognised everywhere I have applied. Cannot recommend Nasima enough.

The originator

Facial Hijama® was created
by Nasima Nahar

In 2009, Nasima Nahar developed and pioneered Facial Hijama® — adapting the ancient principles of wet cupping specifically for the delicate anatomy of the face. She is the sole originator of this technique in the UK, holds registered trademarks in Classes 41 and 44, and has trained over 500 practitioners worldwide.

2009

Facial Hijama® pioneered — Nasima develops the first structured facial wet cupping protocol in the UK, adapted for facial anatomy.

2012

First accredited training launched — the NN Facial Hijama® course becomes the only CMA & IPHM accredited Facial Hijama qualification in the UK.

2019

UK trademark registered — NN Facial Hijama® trademarked in Class 41 (education) and Class 44 (medical and beauty services).

2026

500+ practitioners trained — graduates practising across the UK, Europe, and internationally.

There was no framework for Facial Hijama when I started. I had to build it from scratch — the anatomy protocols, the cup selection, the contraindication screening, the aftercare. Everything you learn on this course exists because I created it.
