WHO IS AMEELA?

HEALING DESIGNS

Healing Designs' was created “To empower and adorn women from the inside out.” We offer services absolutely free, to women who are struggling with self and life, who have encountered domestic violence or some form of addiction. Yet they choose to push and fight to make their lives and that of their children better. This service includes: a garment specifically designed and made from scratch, counselling and consultation where needed, hair and makeup, and dinner absolutely free. This service does not fix everything but it’s a start to creating miracles by touching the heart and soul of these women. We also do a follow up with these women on a biweekly or monthly basis to see how they are maintaining. We do not close the portal after that , we encourage them to be apart of our online group, which makes it easier for us to maintain contact. Most importantly we encourage them to share what they have gone through , to tell their stories in order to help other women to be brave enough to share theirs. We firmly believe that what one goes through, is not only for them but, for the other women they may encounter. All of our services are volunteered, because it is somewhat of an expensive venture, however it is absolutely worth it.

THE PROCESS

We try to work with at least 2 women per month but no more than 3 for now. We find these women by means of word of mouth or through some form of organization that offers services outside of ours to meet their needs, whether it's a pantry, shelter etc.

1ST STEP: INTERVIEW PROCESS

We interview the women first, to find out where they are currently, from a mental , spiritually and physically perspective. This will aid us in how or whether or not we should proceed a head with them as a client. We take this precaution because it is much easier to work with someone who is willing to accept change and is willing to push forward with life. When we have decided to proceed a head, the client is then asked to sign a waiver, given us permission to share and release their stories / journey.

2ND STEP: DESIGNING PROCESS

After the interview process is over, we then move straight into the design phase, where we try to make sure that we incorporate the opinions of the women. This aspect will be a reflection of who they are or where they want to be from the beginning to the end. It is replicated in the fabric as well as the garment design. From there we then sketch the design of the garment by hand and then illustrator and photoshop, in order to bring the vision to life. Then send it off electronically to get printed if that method is selected or purchase the fabric accordingly.

3RD STEP: BEFORE STORIES

Sharing the before stories. We want the women to be open and willing to share what they have gone through, which is a requirement for the service. We do not coerce anyone to do this, it is a choice and that's why we go through the interview process. Our aim is to empower other women by telling our stories, with the intent of giving these women a voice and platform to do as such, so that we can motivate and transform lives. We do a video recording of their stories in which they have to be willing to sign a release form, then we post it on our social media platforms in order to share and encourage others.

4TH STEP: MEASUREMENTS & FITTING

In this phase, once we have the red light, we will move into the measurements and cutting . When the fabric arrives we intend to launch right in, we intend to work with simple designs that will be quick and easy yet elegant and classy. Then move into the fitting.

5TH STEP: MAKEOVER

Once everything is done, we immediately launch into the makeover, which also includes face and hair. We also want to provide these women with a night out, whether it be dinner or a late lunch, so that they can bask in the moment of greatness.

6TH STEP: AFTER STORY

After we go through the enter process, we close off with the after story, where these women will have the opportunity to share how they felt about the entire process. With a focus on how they would encourage other women who have encountered what they did. We will create a community where these women will always have the encouragement to keep pushing forward, because this service is not designed to fix the entire being but to start the process to healing and what better way to do it than through a full makeover.

COLLABORATION

In order to bring the vision to life, we intend to collaborate with other designers, food, entertainment organizations, and companies that make and print fabric.
