In a world where the fashion industry often takes center stage, some individuals embark on extraordinary journeys of self-discovery and transformation. Meet Sara Hegazy, a remarkable entrepreneur who has transitioned from being a prominent figure in the fashion world to a Holistic Psychotherapist and the founder of an innovative health tech wearable known as “The Soulhouette.” In this interview, we delve into Sara’s incredible journey, her passion for holistic healing, and her mission to merge modern medicine with alternative energy healing.
The Fashion Entrepreneur Turned Holistic Psychotherapist
Hegazy, an engineer by profession, quickly realized that her true love was in creating flowing designs. Her journey is nothing short of inspiring. For over 20 years, she was deeply immersed in the world of fashion as a couturier boutique owner. Her specialty lay in designing and implementing themed wedding and evening dresses, each one a unique masterpiece. Hegazy’s expertise earned her several accolades and recognitions in the fashion industry, including being a top 5 finalist in the Maybelline Cosmetic Fashion Competition, a finalist in the Emerging Talent List of Dubai Fashion Week, and a second-place winner at the Tiffany Paris Fashion Week international Competition in 2014. She is a TEDx speaker and a lovely mother.
“The first spark came from my passion for the love of design and making original, one-of-a-kind clothes, especially for special events. Thus, while I was in Kuwait, I applied for a job as a design assistant and was hired. This was a big milestone for me since it proved that I could succeed even without a formal background in fashion” says Sara, how she got into the design world.
Talking about her transition she added, “My journey into holistic healing began with a desire to delve into psychology and healing. I became certified as a Holistic Psychotherapist Specialist and explored various therapeutic techniques, including hypnosis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and trauma-releasing methods. This clinical journey opened the door for me to integrate various modalities, including Traditional Chinese Medicine, transformational holistic breathing, and bio-energy healing using resonance and frequency”.
The Birth of The Soulhouette
Healenna means “I Heal”, also founded by Sara Hegazy. When talking about Healenna she adds, “Healenna is the name of the Greek Goddess of Heal with Love. I used the method of creating the heart between modern medicine and complementary medicine. The Body joining The Spirit with The Soul. This is my healing pattern. We have Scientists and Professors to prepare the materials. Innovative Healers are developing the needed curriculum for a specific case”.
Sara’s journey didn’t stop at psychotherapy. Her commitment to holistic well-being led her to the creation of “The Soulhouette,” a groundbreaking Holistic health tech wearable. “ “The Soulhouette” emerged from this journey. She founded the company in the USA silicon valley. It’s a revolutionary Holistic health tech wearable based on psychology, neurology, and Chinese medicine principles. Our primary goal is to help individuals sustain their energy system’s balance, promoting overall health and wellness. The first edition of The Soulhouette was specifically designed for use in hospital’s risk and emergency departments, enabling quick detection and diagnosis of potential health issues to provide prompt and effective treatment” states Sara.
This transition truly transformed her perspective on life in profound ways. While fashion is an art that allows individuals to express themselves outwardly, she came to understand that well-being and healing are internal processes. Sara believes that how we feel on the inside greatly influences how we present ourselves to the world. Clothing can make us look good, but true well-being comes from within.
The Transition from Silhouette to Soulhouette
Sara’s transition from the world of fashion to the realm of holistic healing is symbolized by her shift from “silhouette” to “soulhouette.” While she used to style the outer image for two decades, her focus has now shifted towards effective inner styling. She has been certified as a bio-energy healer, psychotherapist, and human design coach.
When asked about her perspective on life and wellbeing she gracefully added, “My journey also deepened my spiritual connection, and I realized that each person’s soul is a unique design inspiration. My mission now is to inspire the yarn of each soul to draw its unique spark. I’ve embraced the concept of innovating in the field of holistic healing, merging psychology, neurology, and Chinese medicine to create a wearable technology that can enhance the self-healing process. The Soulhouette is the embodiment of this vision”.
Collaborations and Mission
Sara Hegazy’s journey isn’t a solitary one. She works in collaboration with well-known names in the wellness industry in Dubai, including Maison Sante, Zoya Wellbeing, Holistified, and Keyani Wellness Centre. Her skills as a psychotherapist, bio-energy healer, and human design expert have led to numerous successful partnerships to promote mental and physical well-being.
Sara answers, “My vision for the future of holistic health is one where medicine and healing are closely aligned. I believe in merging modern medicine with alternative energy healing practices. The goal is to create a master medicine of the soul. In my view, medicine alone is not enough, and healing alone is not enough. Combining these modalities can enhance lives rather than just saving them. This vision is at the core of my work and the development of The Soulhouette”.
“The Soulhouette, owned by Healenna, garnered the prestigious Health and Wellness Tech Startup 2023 award at the Annual Health Awards in Dubai, under the esteemed patronage of His Excellency Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan, cabinet member and Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, United Arab Emirates, winning in the category of Health Tech Startup of the Year,” Sara added with proud and overjoyed.
Inner Peace and Mindfulness through Healenna
“Believe in yourself and follow your heart. Our journeys are often filled with unexpected turns, and it’s okay to embrace change. The path to self-discovery can be challenging, but it is worth every step is”, Sara’s message to those who are seeking self-discovery and transformation. She continues to Heal the souls, approaching her and seeking eternal happiness.
