Hijama near Reston, VA

Getting here from Reston

From Reston the practice is about 8.2 miles away, roughly 17 minutes by car.

The usual route is Reston Parkway south, then West Ox Road, and a short stretch of the Fairfax County Parkway before Fair Lakes Parkway. It is local roads most of the way, and you are not on an interstate at all.

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. The crossings of the Dulles Toll Road and Route 50 are where it slows at peak times. If you are coming from the north side of Reston, the Fairfax County Parkway south the whole way is a good alternative.

Why it suits Reston

Hijama is something you keep up rather than do once: for most people, once every three months. A 17-minute drive on local roads means a session fits into an evening or a weekend afternoon without much planning, and the room itself, with floor-to-ceiling windows onto the trees, will feel familiar to anyone used to Reston's woods.

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.

Fair Lakes Parkway runs right past the building. 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?

Hijama is a traditional practice and is not a substitute for medical care. If you are on medication, pregnant, or unsure for any reason, speak to your doctor first and say so at intake.
