The Swans was born from a place of profound inspiration, grace, and strength. It is a sanctuary where authenticity is celebrated, and personal transformation is embraced. Founded by Marisa, The Swans is a testament to the power of resilience and the beauty of living life to its fullest potential--The Authentic self.

Marisa feels a deep calling to share the wisdom she has acquired through her trials and turbulence, drawing from her own self-discovery and healing journey. Having risen from the challenges of being a scapegoat child to triumphing over narcissistic abuse, she embodies resilience and empowerment. Her genuine passion for serving the world as a wounded healer, combined with her nurturing and empathetic nature alongside her creative and innovative thinking, creates a profound integrative foundation that makes your transformative journey both enjoyable and inspiring.

The name

"The Swans" holds special significance for Marisa for three primary reasons. First, it reflects her Thai family name, “Sawangsee,” which translates to “blessing in discovery.” This emphasizes the silver linings she has identified throughout her life, viewing hardships as blessings in disguise. Second, it mirrors her own journey, transitioning from childhood struggles as a scapegoat and a black sheep to being labeled an “ugly duckling” by bullies—much like the transformative journey of the swan. Lastly, Marisa believes that we all embody the metaphorical essence of the swan, symbolizing transformative power, inner beauty, resilience, and grace.

Central to Marisa's approach is the belief that every soul is inherently beautiful when aligned with its true self. She inspires with the statement,

"We are here to share our authentic beauty with each other, creating harmony through our unique diversity."

This principle is not merely aspirational; it is the foundation of The Swans and the driving force behind its transformative mission.
