About Us, Who we are?
# The Hijama Institute: A Journey of Growth and Innovation
## Establishment and Early Days
The Hijama Institute was founded in 2010 by Dr. N. Suleyman Gok, who is also the author of a world best-selling book on hijama. Initially, Dr. Gok began by teaching the art of hijama to his patients. Many of these patients traveled from outside the city, facing long travel times and fatigue. Recognizing this, Dr. Gok saw an opportunity to share his expertise and alleviate some of their burdens by offering to teach them directly.
## Expanding Reach and International Training
As Dr. Gok's reputation grew, so did the demand for his knowledge and skills. He expanded his teaching beyond his local area and began offering hijama training internationally. Over the years, he has traveled to more than 17 countries, training an impressive 8,000 practitioners worldwide. His dedication to spreading the practice of hijama has made a significant impact on its global reach.
## Adapting to Change: Online Training Post-Pandemic
A visionary in his field, Dr. Suleyman Gok adapted to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic by shifting to online training. This decision allowed him to continue teaching without the need for physical classrooms or the exhaustion associated with travel. By offering live online workshops, his students could learn from the comfort of their homes, reducing costs and logistical challenges.

Dr. Gok found great satisfaction in online training, as it provided numerous advantages. It eliminated the need for renting classrooms, staying in hotels, or dealing with the fatigue of constant travel. Since the pandemic, he has focused exclusively on online training, enjoying the ability to reach a wider audience without the constraints of physical presence.
## Conclusion
Dr. N. Suleyman Gok's innovative approach to teaching hijama has transformed the way this ancient practice is learned and practiced around the world. His ability to adapt and embrace new methods of teaching ensures that hijama continues to thrive in the modern world, benefiting practitioners and patients alike.
