I never quite knew what to call myself.
What I offer doesn’t fit into any of the usual boxes—
it’s not just therapy, not just coaching, not just healing…
It’s all of it, and so none of those words ever felt quite right.
Until the word Guide dropped in.

A guide is the person you follow to get where you want or need to go—
someone who walks with you into unknown territory,
who helps you overcome the obstacles you encounter along the way,
who keeps you safe while doing so,
who teaches you about the things you meet along the way…
That felt like what I was doing.

But “guide” is used in a lot of very different ways—
tour guide, wilderness guide, rafting guide, mountain guide, survival guide… even spirit guide.
And that’s when the inside joke landed and stuck:
Spirit Guide Inc.

Inc. as in incorporated—from the Latin corpus, meaning body.
Or you could say incarnated—from in carne, in the flesh.
Either way, it said everything I couldn’t name before.

So not only did it feel like what I was doing—
it also spoke to my deep fascination with what lies beyond what we can see or explain—
to unravel the mysteries of the Universe and figure out how it all works.

But it also speaks to the truth that none of it matters unless it helps us be more human,
and helps us understand how our bodies, minds, and systems actually function at that invisible, holistic level.

Sadly enough, spirituality is usually used to escape our earthly existence—
to take us away from the things we don’t want to deal with or feel we cannot change in our reality.
Instead, it should help us understand who we are, why we’re here, what our purpose is,
and how to function harmoniously and responsibly.

And the root cause of all of this can be traced back to one thing, and one thing alone:
our long state of disconnection.

That’s why reconnecting to our Essence is the key to unlocking everything we’re all searching for—whether we realize it or not.

But most people aren’t even aware of it, and this just sounds like a vague concept or an abstract idea.
But it’s the most fundamental step in our entire existence—especially in the time we’re living now.
And not just on a big collective scale, but very much on a personal level as well.

It’s fundamental to finding clarity, alignment, and purpose in our lives—
because it allows us to find the answers inside ourselves again.
It gives us an inner compass that’s attuned to our unique blueprint and purpose.
It can drastically improve our wellbeing and even heal our bodies.

EsRa is the name of my Essence.
It’s an abbreviation that stands for Essence of Raphaël.

Raphaël carries three core associations that are all deeply woven into my work:

  • Healing—but not in the way most people understand it.
  • Announcing the end of the world—which people often forget also means the beginning of a new one.
  • And the number 3—which shows up everywhere in my work and symbolism.

And now, through EsRa, I help others reconnect with their own Essence—
guiding them back to the truth of who they really are.

The time has come for us to reconnect and start living from our Essence.
