Meet Esma Elmerini

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Esma Elmerini. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Esma below.

Esma, so great to have you with us and we want to jump right into a really important question. In recent years, it’s become so clear that we’re living through a time where so many folks are lacking self-confidence and self-esteem. So, we’d love to hear about your journey and how you developed your self-confidence and self-esteem.

I developed my confidence and self-esteem through my faith and life’s failures,learning from struggles, trial and error, and survival. Each challenge taught me to rely only on God, not on people, and through prayer I found strength, clarity, and the courage to keep going.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

I am a Board-Certified Holistic Practitioner and Hijama (wet cupping) therapist with over 27 years of experience. My work is centered on education and empowerment, because I believe Hijama is a necessity, not a luxury. This ancient therapy is one of the most powerful ways to detox, balance, and rejuvenate the body naturally, and my mission is to raise awareness so people can take ownership of their health rather than surrendering it to a system that often relies on fear and quick fixes.

Currently, I operate two Hijama clinics in the Dallas area and am in the process of opening a third and fourth location to meet the growing demand. I’m also finalizing a professional curriculum to train others in wet cupping, ensuring this practice is taught correctly and safely.

Beyond the clinic, I’m increasingly involved in spiritual retreats, lectures, and workshops, teaching people how to truly understand their bodies,what they actually need versus what mainstream healthcare conditions them to believe. My goal is to guide individuals back to natural healing, self-awareness, and confidence in their body’s own ability to recover and thrive.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

The three qualities that shaped my journey are resilience, continuous learning, and compassion.
• Resilience allowed me to push through struggles, failures, and the uncertainty of building multiple businesses.
• Continuous learning keeps me growing,studying holistic health, perfecting my techniques, and creating a curriculum to teach others.
• Compassion reminds me that true healing starts with genuinely caring for people.

For anyone starting out, embrace challenges as lessons, stay curious, and never lose the heart to serve, it’s the combination of skill and sincerity that creates real impact.

One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?

Yes, I’m always open to meaningful collaborations. I’m looking to connect with healthcare providers, including doctors, chiropractors, functional medicine practitioners, mental health professionals, wellness coaches, beauty and spa specialists, and fitness or gym owners. Each of these fields shares a common goal with holistic therapy: helping people feel and function at their best.

Partnerships can create a more complete approach to health-combining Hijama with medical care, mental wellness, fitness, or beauty treatments to support the body inside and out. Whether it’s cross-referrals, joint workshops, or integrated wellness programs, working together allows us to reach more people and provide care that addresses the whole person.

•Doctors & Functional Medicine Practitioners

Hijama supports detoxification, improves circulation, and can help reduce inflammation, making it a natural addition to treatment plans for chronic pain, autoimmune issues, migraines, and fatigue. Collaboration allows patients to benefit from both medical diagnostics and natural therapy.

•Chiropractors

By releasing tension and improving blood flow, Hijama can help loosen tight muscles and fascia, enhancing spinal adjustments and speeding up recovery from back, neck, or joint issues.

•Mental Health Professionals

Hijama helps regulate the nervous system and promote deep relaxation. Many clients report emotional release and reduced anxiety or depression, making it a powerful complement to therapy or counseling.

•Nutritionists

Hijama assists the body in detoxing and balancing, which can enhance the effects of nutritional plans for weight loss, digestive health, or metabolic conditions. Together, we can create programs that heal from the inside out.

•Gyms & Fitness Coaches

Athletes and active individuals benefit from Hijama’s ability to speed up muscle recovery, reduce soreness, and improve performance by increasing blood flow and clearing toxins from the muscles.

•Beauty & Wellness Professionals/Spas

Hijama promotes healthy skin by improving circulation and stimulating collagen production. It can complement facials, body treatments, and overall self-care services for a more holistic wellness experience.

•Physical Therapists

Hijama helps break up muscle adhesions, relieve chronic pain, and increase mobility. When combined with physical therapy, it can accelerate healing from injuries and support rehabilitation.

•Holistic & Integrative Health Experts

Whether herbalists or alternative healers, Hijama offers a natural detox and energy-balancing method that enhances other holistic modalities for a truly whole-body approach.

Collaboration Goal:
By working together, we can provide integrated care that treats root causes, not just symptoms, empowering people to regain control over their health.
