About NorthLight Hijama
A women-only space for natural healing in Minnesota
NorthLight Hijama is a women-owned, women-only wellness studio offering traditional Hijama (wet cupping) for women seeking natural support for pain relief, inflammation, stress, and whole-body balance. Our approach is calm, respectful, and client-education focused—because you deserve to understand what’s happening in your body and why a treatment may help.
Hijama has been practiced for centuries across many cultures and communities. Today, more women are rediscovering it as a holistic, non-pharmaceutical option that supports the body’s natural healing systems—especially when you feel like conventional options haven’t fully addressed the root cause.
Hi, I’m Theresa-Aziza Richter — founder of NorthLight Hijama.
I didn’t always understand Hijama. I was once unsure and even skeptical—until I saw the results firsthand. Watching the body release tension, ease pain, and recover in ways I didn’t expect changed everything for me.
I became certified through the Hijama Nation Academy and have been practicing since 2018. Over time, I realized something important: Hijama is powerful, but it’s still widely unknown—especially compared to practices like acupuncture or chiropractic care.
That’s why I created NorthLight Hijama: a women-only space where Hijama is offered with professionalism, education, and compassion. My mission is to make this holistic practice more accessible to women across Minnesota—so more women can experience natural relief, feel supported, and understand their own healing process.
