About

About the Founder

My name is Bahjeh Rizeq, more commonly known as Umm Maryam. I love all things natural and holistic that can be traced back to the Qur'aan and Sunnah of our beloved Messenger ﷺ. I also love nature and discovering how the natural world around us can be used as a gateway to better health, wellness, and healing.

I have almost 10 years experience in the therapy of Hijaamah and have served clients all over the East Coast. Recently, I have added other services such as VBX vibration therapy, Acupressure, certified Massage Therapy as well as Childbirth Education and Doula Services for women and families by way of AMANI Birth training.

How it Started

My passion started when I was on a mission of self healing and discovery through my own physical ailments and spiritual enlightenment. The mind-body connection is something miraculous and has been put to sleep for a long time in our ever changing and fast paced society. 

We look for a quick fix that only delivers mediocre results. Instead, I tapped into the world of self nourishment, education and healing by combining my faith, nature, and observation of the body's natural reactions to trauma and how to heal it. I am very inspired by the works of Ibnul Qayyim (RaheemahuAllaah) in Prophetic medicine and healing for the mind, body and soul. I also have a deep passion in learning about physical anatomy and physiology to understand the body, our nervous system, and how to heal. The use of these modalities and continuous education keeps me humbly in awe of Our Creator and the vastness of His Design of humankind.  With all this, I put my energy and hands to work in order to provide you with the most sensual, caring, and exhilarating therapies.
