Hijama near Falls Church, VA
Getting here from Falls Church
From Falls Church the practice is about 13.9 miles away, roughly 24 minutes by car.
From the middle of Falls Church the drive is almost all I-66 west. You join it from Route 7 (Broad Street); leave at the Fairfax County Parkway / Fair Lakes exit, and you are a couple of minutes from the building. If you start near the Eden Center or Dar Al-Hijrah on the Seven Corners side, Route 50 west to the Beltway and then I-66 is another way on.
These are clear-road figures from OpenStreetMap routing, checked in October 2026. Weekday rush hour can stretch them a long way, so check your map on the day, just before you leave. I-66 is the whole story on this trip. It has express toll lanes; the regular lanes are free and are fine outside rush hour. Heading west in the late afternoon on a weekday is the slow direction, so an earlier slot, or a weekend one, makes the drive much easier.
Why it suits Falls Church
Search for cupping in the inner suburbs and much of what comes up is sports or spa cupping: suction only, as one service among many. If you want hijama as a Sunnah practice, with wet cupping, a sterile single-use kit and a practitioner of the same gender as you, it is worth the drive out to Fair Lakes. From the State Theatre on Washington Street it is under half an hour on a clear road.
When you get to Fair Lakes
The address to put into your phone is 4401 Fair Lakes Ct, Fairfax, VA 22033. We are inside the HAWA Fairfax Community Center, in Room 401a on the fourth floor.
The Fair Lakes exit is the one people coming out from the inner suburbs remember: off the interstate, and a minute later you are there. The community center is a low, dark-glass building set back behind trees, with a paved path up to the entrance. There is no clinic sign outside, so look for the building, not a sign.
Parking is free. Use the lot outside the building; park anywhere, no permit is needed. The parking lot, the entrance and the restroom are wheelchair accessible, and there is an elevator up to the fourth floor.
Come a few minutes early. A few screening questions come first, then the session; allow about an hour and a half for brothers and two hours for sisters. What to eat, wear and bring is on the booking page.

A woman practitioner for sisters, a man for brothers. Wet cupping (hijama) is $135, dry cupping $115, with a $55 deposit at booking that comes off the price (prices in full). By appointment only; book here. New to hijama? Start with What is Hijama?
