Meet Connie Brennan, RN.

My greatest professional accomplishment is melding the art in my soul with the science in my head; and finding the perfect outlet for these vastly different yet complementary disciplines in my profession as an Aesthetic Nurse Specialist. When people look back at my life, I hope they remember me as an awesome mom, a good friend, thoughtful, kind to others, non-judgmental, and perpetually optimistic. I strive to align with the following mottos everyday: “Treat others as I would like to be treated” “Do my best at everything I do” “Be present in the moment; and enjoy each day” What is one thing that most people are not aware of, that you would like them to know? Becoming an Aesthetic Nurse Specialist is not an easy journey. There is no formalized institutional training. There is a steep learning curve to becoming a master injector; it takes years of practice and time before patients will trust you completely with their faces. Establishing a reputable practice and building a client base can take years of diligent work. What advice could you offer fellow members who want to work in your area of expertise? Pursue the best education and training that you can find! Ask others in the industry to give referrals and recommendations as to which trainers are reputable. Don’t quit your day job as you pursue aesthetic training; it may take years to get yourself established in the aesthetics industry.   Click here to read Connie's full article in the Communication Issue of Inspirational Woman Magazine!

Meet Marium Murad.

After receiving her medical degree and studying abroad, Dr. Murad observed many different cultures. She then found that her mother was having serious health issues related to her circulation. Unfortunately, seniors are often unable to follow an exercise program, so an alternative solution was required. Dr. Murad developed a technique that achieved great results. The program incorporates full-body circulation and begins with movement in the toes and fingers. It can even be done with a patient who is lying down. This program is based on sound scientific principles related to the heart and circulation and aims to de-stress the heart by using a series of specific finger and toe exercises. After Dr. Murad’s mother’s successful recovery, a friend’s mother, who was suffering from heart-related problems tried her Program and the results were impressive. The program is particularly beneficial for seniors who are prone to heart-related illnesses and executives who sit for long office hours. It can also help get seniors off of their medications.  To learn more about this revolutionary program, please visit http://movementisblessed.com.

Meet Hasmik Arakelyan!

We asked Hasmik what her advice for today's women is, and here is what she said:

"I would advise them to not try to “act like a woman” as in trying to be liked by people through conforming to what is feminine (from job to behavior) but to love themselves unconditionally; to not repress their true personalities just because some may not think it is “feminine” but to express their full potential, sexuality, and personalities; to realize how strong they are; and, most importantly, to be unconditionally loved by themselves first, and everyone else will follow. Also, I would advise women to emphasize cooperation, to seek out women mentors, to find motivating role models, and to thrive to grow in every possible way. Be passionate in everything you do, be a woman who impels, inspires and empowers. It is the most incredible gift you can give to another."
