Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Ardak Nurzhakanova. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Ardak, appreciate you joining us today. We’d love to hear about the things you feel your parents did right and how those things have impacted your career and life.
My parents are amazing people who played a huge role in shaping who I am today, and I’m forever grateful to them for that.
My dad always taught me the importance of honesty, integrity, and generosity. My mom showed me how to be humble, kind, and always eager to pick up new skills.
They’re both incredibly intelligent, kind-hearted, and positive people, always ready to lend a helping hand when needed. By their own example, they taught me how important it is to treat others with kindness, to hold back from judging too quickly, and to remember that we don’t always know the whole story.
But I think the most important thing they did right was raising us in an environment filled with love, laughter, kindness, and a passion for learning. Their curiosity and adventurous outlook on life inspired me to be brave and to explore both myself and the world with an open mind.
To me, the best thing parents can do for their kids is to be a living example by embracing life fully and with an open heart.
Ardak, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
My name is Ardak, though most people in the USA know me as Ardi. It’s a name bestowed upon me by my Indian Sufi teacher.
My journey into holistic healing began six years ago while I was living in Kazakhstan, my homeland. Intrigued by the idea of maintaining youth and beauty naturally, without resorting to injections or surgery, I discovered the transformative power of facial lifting massage. Since that pivotal moment, I’ve been dedicated to helping people enhance their beauty and well-being. As I practiced facial massage, I started sensing a healing energy flowing through my hands. The positive feedback from my clients, who experienced relief from various ailments like back pain, headaches, and even cystitis, reinforced my belief in the healing potential of my work. Witnessing their lasting improvement has been immensely gratifying. That’s why my services have more spiritual aspects.
Today, my expertise is recognized in cities like NYC, Miami, and soon, Austin.
My Journey: Embracing Holistic Wellness with Passion and Potential
As a small entrepreneur in the beauty and health industry, I’ve embarked on a journey fueled by heartfelt dedication and boundless potential. My range of services, from facial massage to spiritual massage and Access Bars, offers a unique blend of holistic care that resonates deeply with my clients.
If you could go back, would you choose the same profession, specialty, etc.?
If someone asked me whether I’d want to change my profession, if I had the chance, my answer would be clear—no.
I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be, doing what I’m meant to do. My work in the beauty and holistic health field is a part of me, and I can’t imagine my life without it.
Other than training/knowledge, what do you think is most helpful for succeeding in your field?
Love for people and determination are the qualities that lie at the core of my journey.
I genuinely believe that every person has their own uniqueness and deserves love and respect. My love for people isn’t just an emotion; it’s the willingness to support, help, and be there in tough times.
Determination, on the other hand, is the force that drives me forward despite any obstacles. I believe that anything can be achieved if you pursue your goal with resolve and passion
