My Journey
Steps into the unknown – again and again – to be where I am today.
“Hi, I’m Nick Freeborn, an awareness coach who believes in the power of courage, curiosity, and self-discovery. My life has been a journey of stepping out of comfort zones, asking the big questions, and creating a life filled with purpose, joy, and flow.”
From an early age, I found myself fascinated by life’s mysteries. At just eight years old, I began asking questions like, “Where do we come from? What if the Universe didn’t exist?”
As a teenager, I felt a natural pull to support those who struggled, realizing that helping others was my calling. During that time, I also started to deeper contemplate about life and its meaning, its vulnerability and its beauty.
At 19, the sudden death of my father turned my life upside down. It deepened my quest for purpose, truth and freedom, yet I felt trapped in a system and job I couldn’t bear. Listening to my heart, I took a leap of faith. At 20, I quit my ordinary life and began traveling the world, exploring alternative lifestyles, healing modalities, meditation, and yoga.
After nine months of travel, I returned home transformed. Darkness had turned to light, and negativity had given way to positivity. Not long after, I took another leap—leaving my home country on a one-way ticket to Thailand with no clear plan, just the quiet knowing that it was the right step.
Over the past decade in Thailand, I had the privilege to study with masters in the field of energy and holistic health, such as Reiki, meditation, massage, naturopathy, nutrition, fasting, non-violent communication and conscious language. But the most profound lessons have come from applying these teachings to my own life.
In 2019, I founded Swees Plant Based Foods, the first plant-based cheese factory of its kind in Thailand. Starting from my kitchen, it grew into a thriving business, teaching me the skills of entrepreneurship, team management, and problem-solving—lessons that apply equally to personal and professional life.
Along the way, I nurtured my curiosity, learning to speak Thai fluently and immersing myself in the richness of its culture. Today, I live in Chiang Mai with my wife and two daughters. In my free time, I play handpan, read, meditate, and cherish time with my family.
I feel deeply grateful for the life I’ve created. It’s a life born from stepping into the unknown, again and again.
