André

Hi there, I’m André Swank—an artist, intuitive interior designer, and Akashic Reader. I was born in Colombia, adopted as a baby, and grew up in a world shaped by religion. I even taught it for a while before stepping away to find my own path. In 2015, I experienced my first big awakening that set me on this journey of self-discovery. Then, in 2021, I stumbled across the Akashic Records, and it felt like home. I started reading them for myself, and now I’m sharing that gift with others. I’m all about helping people connect with their authentic selves and uncovering the beauty of who they really are.

Growing up, I wrestled with the pain of adoption, not knowing who I was and masking to get by. Being diagnosed with ADD and later learning I’m on the autism spectrum brought so much clarity—it explained so much about my own process and how I’ve experienced the world. Those labels felt heavy at first, but now I see them as gifts that have shaped the way I think and create. The world and the systems at large were never really supportive of these traits, and growing up I started to believe I was the one who was “off”. I’m learning to embrace my story —my roots, my quirks, and my unique way of seeing the world.

Now, I’m putting myself out there and offering services where my heart is happiest. That’s what 'Alchemy is Life' is all about: finding magic in the everyday, transforming challenges into growth, and letting intuition lead the way. Whether it’s through a reading, reimagining your space, or creating something meaningful together, I’d love to connect.

Thanks for stopping by—I hope our paths cross soon!

FAQs

When did you start your spiritual journey, and what keeps you motivated?

My spiritual journey started at a young age with organized religion. It grew beyond the limitations and dogma into more questions and then into self-discovery. My first awakening started around 2015 when I realized there’s no going back to the beliefs I had before. Since then it has been a journey from seeking everything outside myself to going within. This is of course the abbreviated answer because we know what life is like! Whew!

What’s your go-to way to lift your spirits when you’re having a tough day?

Dance party all the way! Turn on the lights, turn up the music and intuitively move. This always brings me back to my body and moves that energy through. The beach is my other go-to!

If your intuition could send you texts, what’s the funniest or most random message you think it would send?

Lots of emojis, mostly the crying laughing one! lol

What is your art style?

The majority of my art style is intuitive which usually ends up looking like abstract. I love symbols and line art which usually find their way onto the canvas. Have you ever tried your own intuitive art?
