Swanie Tolentino

As a child, I often found myself wondering about the world beyond what we could see or touch. I’d ask quietly, is there something more beyond what we experience with our five senses? What would it feel like to live in a world rooted in love, where we feel safe, supported, and free to become who we truly are?


Like many of us, I quickly learned to adapt to the structures around me—shaped by family, culture, religion, education, and society. I became who I was expected to be. And by most standards, I was a success and quite content. I built a career in the corporate world, traveled extensively, and navigated high-performing environments with logic, strategy, and drive.


But deep down, guided by what I believe now is natural intelligence —accessible to all— I found that there is so much more expansion to be had by each one of us as humans.

 

Over time, I began to listen more closely to that quiet inner voice—the part of me that longed for more meaning, more connection, more truth. That journey led me to explore information that expanded my awareness and deepened my sense of presence. It was as if I was remembering something ancient and whole already living within me. I evolved to believing being human is a beautiful and powerful experience. As I’ve deepened my own awareness and raised my consciousness, I’ve learned to move from reacting to responding—no longer driven by external conditions, but guided by a steadier sense of inner alignment. Living with integrity and authenticity has become a natural expression of that inner alignment -- something I continue to learn from and grow into every day.

 

Energy work found me at that threshold. What began as curiosity soon became a calling. My left-brain self made sure I studied, trained, and earned certifications across various modalities. But beyond the techniques, I felt something deeper awakening—a knowing that this is something I was meant to remember, live into, and share.

 

What started as quiet sessions for friends has since grown into a small practice based in Wilmington, NC. Their feedback, the shifts they felt, ease of physical discomfort for some, the sense of peace and clarity they gained— gave me the confidence to keep going.

 

My approach is intuitive and deeply personal. I listen, feel, and respond to what’s present in each session. I’ve come to understand that our physical discomfort—what we often call dis-ease—can sometimes have energetic roots. When we’re out of alignment, blocked, or overwhelmed, that energy can ripple through our bodies in unexpected ways.


My life experience can help connect individuals who are new to these concepts. I've walked both worlds and in fact, continue to do so in a more integrated way — and now help others bridge their own.


I don’t claim to heal. Instead, I hold space for your body’s own intelligence to awaken. I believe we all have the capacity for self-healing, and energy work—alongside other tools—can help us remember that truth. My role is simply to serve as a catalyst, supporting your journey.


If this resonates and you feel heart expansion versus contraction, I invite you to experience this first hand. This is sacred work to me. And if you're feeling called, it may be time to explore what your own body, energy, and spirit are ready to remember.
