Psychologist, burnout specialist

Saule Mukasheva

Demo profile. A fictional specialist created for the website mock-up. The photo shows a stock model, not the person named. Replace with a real expert with written consent before publishing. Burnout is neither laziness nor weakness Karaganda Saule works with people in helping professions — those whose job requires them to be attentive to others. She often hears that "it feels shameful to complain" when there is work, family and, apparently, everything is fine. It is precisely that "apparently" she unpacks. Her main tool is distinction: tiredness passes after rest, depletion does not. In her materials for the site she explains how to notice the shift between those states and why asking for help does not cancel self-reliance.

Fitness and movement coach

Daniyar Kaliyev

Movement that fits into a real day Almaty Daniyar coaches not athletes but people whose last workout was at school. So his first task is not load but agreement with yourself: so that a session does not become one more duty to postpone. He likes city movement: stairs, bus stops, short walks, winter routes in the park. In his materials for the site he explains how to move through a Kazakh winter, why layers matter, and why twenty minutes outdoors beats an hour in a bus queue.

Therapeutic exercise instructor

Ainur Zhaksylykova

Demo profile. A fictional specialist created for the website mock-up. The photo shows a stock model, not the person named. Replace with a real expert with written consent before publishing. A gentle return to movement after a long pause Astana Ainur works with people for whom movement does not come easily: after an injury, an operation, or simply after several sedentary years. She sets no records and does not ask anyone to "push through": her rule is that the load should be such that you want to repeat it the next day. She teaches the basics that usually go unexplained: how to stand up from a chair, how to hold your back on the stairs, how many steps to add per week. In her materials for the site she covers the gentle return to activity and realistic expectations for the first weeks.
