Your Path to Healing Starts Here

His Original Design is a proud ministry partner of Restoring the Foundations. We are dedicated to bringing hope, healing, and freedom from life’s deepest struggles, while helping individuals rediscover a renewed purpose for living. Through experiencing God’s powerful love, presence, and peace in a real and personal way, we guide you toward lasting transformation.

Our integrated approach to biblical healing addresses the four key blockages to spiritual freedom—removing obstacles to both receiving and giving love. It’s one thing to know that God loves you, but it’s entirely different to experience His love in a profound, personal way.

Experience God's love as He originally intended—bringing healing, freedom, and a renewed sense of purpose.

 “After RTF I was able to receive my true identity from God in my heart, before RTF it was head knowledge.  By exposing and healing the holes in my soul, God has brought me into a deeper understanding of my spiritual gifts and open the floodgates of revelation.”

A Holistic Approach to Healing

Restoring the Foundations (RTF) is far more than a counseling service — it is a biblically grounded, holistic ministry designed to bring deep and lasting transformation. Through spiritual, emotional, and inner healing, the ministry offers a path to true freedom that many individuals have been seeking.


Unlike traditional counseling, which often focuses mainly on the mind and emotions, RTF addresses the heart, soul, spirit, and body to bring complete restoration. We recognize that emotional struggles, destructive thought patterns, and life challenges often have deep spiritual roots. By addressing these roots with God’s truth, the ministry helps individuals experience lasting freedom that many other methods may not provide.


Four Core Areas of Healing

RTF uses an integrated approach that focuses on four key areas that shape emotional, spiritual, and relational well-being: Generational Sins and Curses, Ungodly Beliefs, Life's Hurts, and Demonic Oppression.


Biblically Grounded Healing

At the heart of Restoring the Foundations (RTF) is a strong biblical foundation. Healing is sought through the power of prayer, repentance, and the authority of Christ. True freedom from spiritual and emotional barriers comes only through God’s intervention — breaking through what hinders your growth, peace, and purpose. RTF offers a Christ-centered solution that empowers individuals to overcome strongholds that may have kept them bound for years.

Generational Sins & Curses

Breaking cycles of inherited negative patterns that may be influencing your life today.

Ungodly Beliefs

Replacing lies and misconceptions with the truth of God’s Word to bring a renewed mindset and emotional healing.

Life’s Hurts

Healing from emotional wounds caused by past experiences, trauma, and difficult life events.

Demonic Oppression

Removing spiritual oppression and freeing individuals from spiritual strongholds, allowing them to live in the full freedom Christ offers.

MEET THE TEAM

Phyllis + Dennis Scheminske

Co-Founders, His Original Design Inc.  | Restoring the Foundations Ministers

For Phyllis and Dennis Scheminske, ministry has never simply been about where God sends them, but about the precious people He places in their path and the privilege of sharing His extraordinary love with them. Since answering God's call to serve the nations in 2006, their journey of faith has taken them across the world, including Ireland, Mexico, Mozambique, Mongolia, and Guatemala. Through each country, culture, and encounter, the Lord has continued to deepen their love for His children and their understanding of the Father's heart for healing, freedom, and restoration. In 2009, God opened a beautiful new chapter in their lives through Restoring the Foundations (RTF) ministry. What began as a personal encounter with His healing love became a calling to walk alongside others as they discover the truth of who they are and experience the freedom Jesus desires for every one of His children. In 2010, His Original Design Inc was birth from their passion to see people restored to the beautiful, unique identity God intended for them from the very beginning. As Restoring the Foundations Healing House ministers and trainers, they have had the privilege of ministering to individuals, couples, missionaries, and ministry leaders, as well as equipping others nationally and internationally to carry this same message of healing and hope. Now based in Houston, Texas, Phyllis and Dennis continue to follow the Lord's leading, whether ministering across the table, through a computer screen, or in another nation. Their hearts remain especially tender toward missionaries serving on the field, knowing firsthand the joys, challenges, and sacrifices that accompany a life devoted to serving the Lord. After all these years, their passion remains beautifully simple: to help people encounter the Father's unconditional love, hear His heart for them, and discover who He created them to be. For Phyllis and Dennis, there is no greater privilege than sitting with someone, listening to their story, and watching the Holy Spirit gently reveal truth, heal wounded places, and restore what has been lost or stolen. Their greatest joy is seeing God's precious sons and daughters come to know that they are deeply loved, fully accepted, and wonderfully created for a purpose — free to live in the fullness of His Original Design.

Dr. Edna Riley

Co-Founder, His Original Design Inc. | Restoring the Foundations Minister | Life Coach | Communication Coach

Dr. Edna Riley has lived a rich and diverse life, filled with meaningful experiences and relationships that have shaped her deep appreciation for the uniqueness, beauty, and value of every individual. Her journey has taken her across cultures, countries, and communities, giving her a profound understanding of the hearts of people from all walks of life—each one deeply loved, treasured, and cherished by God. With two earned PhDs, Dr. Riley has served in many roles throughout her life, including educator, counselor, school administrator, military wife, church leader, and short-term missionary in seven countries. She is also the proud mother of two children and grandmother of seven grandchildren. Yet, among all her accomplishments and experiences, it has been through motherhood and grandmotherhood that God has most beautifully revealed to her the extraordinary gift of individuality and the importance of discovering and living in our true identity as His beloved children. As a Life Coach specializing in emotional and heart healing, effective communication, and personal transformation, Dr. Riley has a passion for helping others experience the freedom and wholeness God intended for their lives. Through her work as a Restoring the Foundations (RTF) Minister and communication coach, she considers it a sacred privilege to come alongside God's precious children, to listen to their hearts, and to partner with the Holy Spirit as He gently reveals and heals the wounds, lies, and burdens that life has placed upon them. As God's truth begins to replace those wounds and false beliefs, something beautiful happens. His light illuminates their hearts, revealing the incredible truth of who they were created to be. They begin to see themselves through their Heavenly Father's eyes—not through the pain of their past or the expectations of the world, but as His beloved child, His treasured possession, and His delight—uniquely created with identity, value, and divine purpose. It is in these deeply personal and life-transforming moments that hearts are restored, freedom is discovered, and lives begin to change. Dr. Riley's desire extends beyond helping individuals experience healing; she is equally passionate about equipping them to walk confidently in their newfound freedom, communicate with authenticity and grace, and inspire others to discover the same hope and transformation. Her heart and mission are to help individuals encounter the Father's love in ways that bring lasting healing, restore their God-given identity, and empower them to live the abundant, purposeful, and fulfilled life their Heavenly Father has lovingly prepared for them.
