I just did a Hijama session with Dr. Azar! It was awesome. The Dr is super cool and knowledgeable, the clinic is clean, the staff is nice and the price is fair. In under 30 min I was in and out, left feeling like a million dollars. Highly recommend and will be back!
Amazing experience getting cupping! The place is really clean and the doctors are incredibly professional. Highly recommend Dr. Azar.

Common questions
Still wondering about something? Call or text us at (813) 805-8917.
What is Hijama (wet cupping)?
Hijama is a time-honored therapy that uses gentle suction and tiny superficial scratches to draw out stagnation, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. It's Dr. Azar's signature treatment and is done in a clean, professional clinical setting.
Do I need to be a member to book acupuncture or hijama?
No. Eastern medicine is priced per visit and open to anyone — you do not need a Lavena membership to book. Wellness members and package bookings do receive discounted rates.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Most people feel little to nothing — the needles are hair-thin. Many patients find treatments deeply relaxing and even fall asleep during the session.
Who is Dr. Azar?
Dr. Chanelle Azar is a Doctor of Oriental Medicine, NCCAOM board-certified acupuncturist and herbalist, and a graduate of East West College of Natural Medicine. She blends Hijama, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and traditional therapies into personalized plans.
Can I combine this with my medical care?
Absolutely — that's the point of having it in-house. Your Eastern medicine plan is coordinated alongside your primary care, weight loss, or hormone therapy on one team.
Do you take insurance?
No — Eastern medicine is self-pay, priced per visit. Wellness members and package bookings receive discounted rates.
