Hi there, my name is Raphael.

I was born in Reunion Island, a French colony in the Indian Ocean, near Madagascar. I feel like I have lived many lives in France, India, London, New York until I settled in British Columbia.

In 2013, i was introduced to Reiki and it changed my life. I remember practicing every day on myself and feeling super energized and needing less sleep… This was mind blowing at the time. I obtained an Usui Reiki level I & II from Andy Chrysostomou in London, a member of the Reiki Guild and the International Guild of Complementary Therapists.

I came to Canada in 2015 and shortly after decided to do my Usui Reiki level I & II again through the Jikiden Reiki association a direct Japanese lineage which re-merged in 1999 after being only taught in closed groups. I was surprised to see how different the original way of teaching Reiki differed from the Western Reiki I learned.

Since I came to Canada, I became more intensively involved with spiritual activities, hosting weekly prayer and meditation circles as well as healing workshops in France and Canada. In 2023, I started volunteering at Nanaimo Community hospice, a wonderful organization which provides a much needed service.

I currently offer energy healing sessions online or in-person at my studio in Nanaimo, British Columbia.

In 2024, I studied somatic and EMDR therapy with the Embody Lab. Since then, I integrate both practices in an intuitively guided session where I work with you on many levels, starting with the body, moving into the emotional work and weaving in the spiritual dimension.

It would be my pleasure to serve you on your healing journey. I am looking forward to connect with you.

Namaste.
