Meet Recy Swan | Somatic Practitioner | Orgasmic Living™️ Guide

We had the good fortune of connecting with Recy Swan and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Recy, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
Oragsmic Living’s™️ social impact is deeply rooted in our mission to empower individuals and communities to thrive through joyful self-discovery, emotional healing, and meaningful connections. By providing Soulful Playgrounds™ and comprehensive wellness experiences, we create safe, sacred, and playful spaces where BIPOC folx experience true liberation.

Our initiatives foster a sense of belonging, empowerment, and resilience within our communities, addressing the unique challenges and systemic barriers we face. By centering the experiences and needs of Black and Brown people, we promote holistic well-being and personal growth, ultimately contributing to the upliftment of individuals and the collective.

Furthermore, our collaborative efforts with other BIPOC -led and owned businesses amplify our impact, creating a network of support and empowerment within the community. Through workshops, retreats, and activations focused on non-striving and ease-filled exploration, we cultivate a culture of self-care, emotional wellness, and social connection.

Moreover, by welcoming and encouraging men to exist and flow into our spaces and extending inclusivity to LGBT+ & allies of the our community, we foster unity and understanding, promoting dialogue and collaboration towards positive change. Our commitment to social impact extends beyond our physical spaces, as we strive to inspire and empower individuals to lead fulfilling lives and contribute positively to society.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Orgasmic Living™️ is a lifestyle brand that encompasses both Supernova Universe, LLC and Soulful Playgrounds™️. It’s about embracing the fullness of life, where healing, connection, and play intersect—it’s the ultimate way to live.

At Supernova Universe, we offer an inclusive and accessible private Somatic Healing Practice centered on BIPOC communities, including those who identify as LGBT++. Our holistic approach integrates somatic practices with playfulness and creativity, facilitating deep healing and growth. Imagine experiencing a private breath-work session that begins with your favorite hot tea, allowing you to relax on a huge, oversized pillow in our healing space. As you slowly integrate into your session, you’re invited to relax and and surrender through a beautiful sound bath, followed by a guided breath-love session and meditation. The session may conclude with a gentle hand massage, paired with our custom relaxation oils and a customize fancy snack with all your favorites. Each detail is carefully curated to nurture your soul and facilitate your healing journey. How does the idea of this immersive healing experience feel in your body?

While Soulful Playgrounds™️: Activations for the Melanated, is where we curate safe, high-vibe spaces for exploration. We are intentional about cultivating curiosity, contemplation, healing, connection, and big fun! Our signature offerings, like Adult Playdates, the BREATHLOVE collective, and themed Well-Being Gatherings, are designed to give our community top- tier immersive experiences. Picture yourself joining us for a transformative BREATHLOVE session on a Sunday, where you breathe deeply in community, enjoy communion with wine and our signature bread, iykyk, and indulge in a brunch curated by my husband, Chef Ray, before diving into a community coloring party. The day concludes with deep conversation and connection, fresh fruit and soul-serving tunes, leaving you feeling deeply nourished and uplifted. It’s probably clear by now that we love feeding our community with transformative experiences and good food, honey! How does the idea of experiencing joy and connection in this way resonate with you?

What sets us apart at Orgasmic Living™️ is our collaborative approach with our clients. We’re not just service providers; we’re partners in healing and building community. Through our work, we’re dedicated to empowering our clients and community to be their own gurus, supporting them in remembering and embodying their inherent power as they embark on their healing journey. Giving them permission to own their journey and autonomy. We’re most proud of creating a space where individuals can feel safe, supported, and empowered to explore their inner world and unlock their full potential. What excites us the most is the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of others and to witness the transformative power of healing and connection unfold. Our mission for this year is to touch 1000 lives and hearts through breath-work, the most accessible form of healing.

Looking ahead, we’re dedicated to becoming the go-to choice for BIPOC folx seeking mental health services through a somatic lens, and for those desiring to experience healing within a vibrant community centered on service, aesthetic, connection, and play. We’re eager to be more visible, bold and accessible to the community. Our aim is to create not just a healing space, but an immersive experience where every interaction is infused with intention, authenticity, and joy. We’re excited to manifest our vision and secure a permanent home for Orgasmic Living and our mobile meditation playground in the upcoming year!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I like to mix in time for play, contemplation, relaxation, good food and “all the things” when I’m showing my friends a good time! So I’d mix it up with a little bit of this and a little bit of that, focusing mostly on local offerings and supporting lots of BIPOC businesses. It could so something like this:

Day 1:
– Begin the day with a visit to The Plant Project in Montrose, a charming Black Woman-owned plant shop. We’ll browse through lush greenery and perhaps pick up a new leafy friend.
– Get creative with an incense making class and explore metaphysical treats at Amano.
-Next we head over to Tight Squeeze Juice Bar for a mid-day pick me up and refresh.
– Later we Unwind with a rejuvenating yoga session at The Breathe Lounge and Wellness Spa, connecting mind, body, and soul.

Day 2:
– Start the day experiencing the vibrant energy of Camino Farmers Market, sampling fresh produce and local goods.
– Explore the flavors of the world at Granel Spice Shop, where we’ll discover exotic spices and ingredients for dinner.
-Then we’ll end the day indulging in a private dinner prepared by Chef Ray, savoring each delectable offering, crafted with that juicy New Orleans love and intention.

Day 3:
– Start the day with a bike ride to OSO Coffee for morning coffee or herbal tea and pastries while enjoying the bright and colorful atmosphere.
– Next, we’ll head over to Kindred Book Store in 3rd Ward to explore their curated selection of books by diverse authors and beautiful aesthetic.
– Later we enjoy cocktails and a delicious dinner at Wild Dispensary, soaking in the eclectic atmosphere and indulging in culinary specialties.

Day 4:
-Immerse ourselves in art and culture with a visit to the Museum of Fine Arts, exploring diverse exhibitions and collections.
– Experience the local talent at an open mic night with A.J. McQueen, at Neighbors in Second Ward/Eado, accompanied by good wine and fresh pizza.

Day 5:
– A trip to Houston would not be complete without lunch at my favorite childhood restaurant, Pappadeauxs, savoring all the Cajun flavors and top tier cocktails
– Get ready to dance the night away at Soul Control with DJ Elevated, where the beats are infectious and the energy is electric.

– Day 6:
-On day 6 we turn our focus to rest and relaxation with in-home massages, aroma-therapy and Reiki with Infynite Wellness.
– On the last night we discover hidden gems at a SoFar Sounds show, experiencing live music in intimate setting with surprise artists.

Day 7:
– Conclude our week with a rejuvenating breath-work session with The BREATHLOVE Collective, setting intentions and releasing any tension or stress.
– Reflect on the memories made and the connections forged during our incredible week in Houston.

Houston truly is a fire city, and offers so many endless opportunities for adventure, discovery, and unforgettable experiences!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Absolutely! This question hits close to home. I’d like to give a big shoutout to my incredible mother, Angela Chevalier. Even though she’s no longer with us physically, her Spirit continues to guide me every step of the way. She was my rock and best friend, teaching me how to embody confidence, navigate + embrace womanhood, and appreciating the beauty of creativity and self-expression. My mother was a natural entrepreneur. She’s the reason I embarked on my personal healing journey and eventually founded my own companies, Supernova Universe, LLC + Soulful Playgrounds™️ dedicated to helping others connect, heal, and play.

And of course, I can’t forget to acknowledge the amazing people who continue to support and uplift me. My husband, Ray Swan, my parents Lee & Londya Davis and my Soul Family. They are my pillars of strength. They not only support my business ventures but also provide unwavering love and care for me and my daughters, Zoe and Xahra. Together, they create a space where I can truly be myself and completely at ease. They give me so much love and bring so much laughter and joy to my life. With them, I can be completely vulnerable and stripped down. Feeling safe, seen, held in Divine Light, and unconditionally accepted by those you love is the biggest flex!

Okay, okay one more… I want to extend my deepest gratitude to The BREATHLOVE Collective—my community of playmates, clients, and partners. Their support and encouragement fuel my passion for somatic healing in BIPOC communities and empower me to make a difference in the lives of others, serving the collective. With their unwavering support, I feel truly blessed and inspired to continue on this journey of growth, transformation and service.
