We recently connected with Ruzanna Takhman and have shared our conversation below.
Ruzanna, so good to have you with us today. We’ve always been impressed with folks who have a very clear sense of purpose and so maybe we can jump right in and talk about how you found your purpose?
I came to the United States as a refugee from Eastern Europe at the age of 7. From a young age, I was taught that my only purpose in life was to become a mother, a wife, and to financially support my family—nothing more. However, this never felt sufficient for me. I silently rebelled against these norms, all while continuing to play the role of the perfect daughter. As I entered my mid-30s, I began to realize that my path might look different from what I had always been conditioned to believe. At 36, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery. At that time, I was struggling with debilitating anxiety and was desperate to find a solution that didn’t involve medication. A friend suggested Reiki, and I thought, why not give it a try?
Reiki began to transform my life instantly, in both beautiful and challenging ways. After about six months of regular sessions, I started to feel like a completely different person, and everyone around me noticed the change. The triggers that once held me back no longer had control over me. This revitalizing, universal energy paved the way for me to reconnect with myself. It guided me to follow my heart, stand up for what I believed in, and most importantly, create boundaries with those I love. Establishing these boundaries led me to make a significant move from Chicago to Arizona, but it also meant temporarily losing some family connections along the way. I became the first person in my ancestral lineage, on both sides, to follow my own dreams rather than the ones laid out for me. This newfound freedom, which I had sought my entire life, brought me a deeper connection to myself. At 37, I was finally able to live for myself.
Experiencing this profound healing transformation made me wonder how I could help others find a similar path. My Reiki practitioner at the time encouraged me to consider practitioner training. Initially, I resisted because I wasn’t sure what it would mean for my future, especially since I had a corporate job that I loved. However, I soon realized that I could do both, which brought a renewed excitement to my life. After completing the first two levels of Usui Reiki training, I began to notice all of my psychic senses opening up. I approached this period of my life with utmost seriousness, dedicating hours each day to meditation, adopting a holistic diet, and eliminating toxins from my life. In return, I gained clarity in my body and the confidence I had always longed for. Reiki helped me become more assertive and allowed me to step into my life purpose, which is to help others find their way back to themselves.
After completing my training as a Reiki Master in Holy Fire Reiki, my intuition opened up fully. It took a few more years before I felt safe enough to delve deeply into my practice, but with the support of amazing teachers and practitioners along the way, I was able to do so and eventually opened my own practice. My practice, Solar Soul Energy Healing, is located in the metropolitan area of Phoenix, AZ. The name came to me during a meditation, symbolizing how I would connect with my clients through the Solar Plexus. The Solar Plexus, located in the upper abdomen at the navel center, is associated with our personal power, sense of identity, and self-confidence. In my practice, I focus on deep soul work, helping my clients find their way back to themselves, free from the burdens and traumas they have carried throughout their lives.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Looking back on my journey, the three qualities that were most impactful were self-awareness, resilience, and the ability to trust my intuition. Developing self-awareness became the foundation of my transformation. It allowed me to recognize my true desires, identify limiting beliefs, and understand the emotional triggers that were holding me back. To cultivate self-awareness, practices like journaling and regular self-reflection were essential. Journaling helps organize thoughts and emotions, making it easier to see patterns and triggers. Additionally, spending time in nature can be a powerful way to connect with the present moment and deepen your awareness. The tranquility of nature encourages mindfulness and helps you tune into your inner landscape.
As I navigated significant challenges, such as moving from Chicago to Arizona and breaking away from traditional expectations, resilience played a crucial role. This inner strength helped me adapt to new circumstances, face setbacks, and continue moving forward with determination. Building resilience can be supported by regular physical exercise, which strengthens both body and mind, and by embracing challenges as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles. Surrounding yourself with a supportive community or seeking mentorship can provide the encouragement needed to stay strong during difficult times.
Equally important was learning to trust my intuition. Strengthening my connection to my inner wisdom guided me toward my true purpose and helped me make decisions aligned with my soul’s calling. Daily meditation was incredibly valuable for this, especially when focused on connecting with your inner voice. Engaging in intuitive readings sharpened my ability to listen to and interpret inner guidance. Keeping a journal of your intuitive insights and reflecting on their accuracy over time can also build confidence in your intuitive abilities.
For those early in their journey, I recommend focusing on these practices to cultivate self-awareness, build resilience, and learn to trust your intuition. Incorporating energy healing and intuitive readings into your routine will further enhance these qualities. Together, they will empower you to navigate your path with greater confidence and authenticity, allowing you to live a life that is true to your deepest self.
How would you describe your ideal client?
My ideal client is someone who is open-minded and ready for personal transformation. They are individuals who are seeking a deeper connection with themselves and are willing to explore holistic approaches to healing. Whether they are experiencing emotional, physical, or spiritual challenges, they are committed to their personal growth and are looking for guidance to navigate their journey. My ideal client is curious, introspective, and values the importance of nurturing their body, mind, and spirit. They may be going through a significant life transition, feeling stuck, or simply wanting to enhance their well-being and align with their true purpose. Above all, they are willing to invest in themselves, open to new experiences, and ready to embrace the changes necessary for living a life of balance, joy, and inner harmony.
