About Diane

Her Biography

Diane Raphael has been reading energies for 30 years. Born in Kamloops, BC, Diane first became aware of her intuitive gifts in early childhood, and was thought by many to have knowing beyond her years. She can recall having difficulty reconciling the truth that was being presented to her with that which she was “seeing” from an early age.

Inspired to serve her community, Diane began nursing work, with the added honor that her service was recommended by a physician colleague. She later attended nursing college and spent many years working in hospitals and in the community as in-home care for special needs adults and children. At the same time, Diane continued to dedicate time and resources to work in animal care and rescue, nurturing her profound connection to animals and nature.

In her quest to comprehend the gifts she was given, Diane spent time working in both fundamental and non-denominational religion, with pastors, priests, nuns, etc., and has always enjoyed a strong relationship with God or a higher power.

No stranger to loss, Diane can closely connect with the grief felt by many of her clients.  As well as coping with the passing of her mother on her seventeenth birthday, Diane has worked through her own journey with cancer while simultaneously addressing multiple health challenges.  Her healing was brought about by her involvement in a course of long-term, intentional and focused psychotherapy in which her intuitive gifts were not only honored, but encouraged.

This experience has led Diane to a deeply insightful understanding as to how a spiritually-informed and guided approach to psychotherapy (a clinically sound therapy grounded in Spirit) can lead to accelerated and profound emotional, psychological, and physical healing.

Her challenges have strengthened Diane’s intuitive abilities and her resolve to help others in their own, sometimes painful, journeys.  Diane’s portfolio of diverse life experience has created a well she is able to draw upon to connect with her clients in a deep and meaningful way.

Why ESM For Diane?

As a child, I experienced Sources of Knowing about people and the world around me that seemed unnatural and unfamiliar to adults and other children with whom I shared my life. I knew it was possible for our bodies to heal themselves and that so-called miracles were a true reality. I could feel it. I could see it. And I experienced it in the physical, psychological and emotional realms, not only with myself but with other people and animals. For example, I watched my father heal wild animals from distemper, while my mother revived plants which appeared dead. On several occasions I was told that my mother was dying – when I knew that she was going to live. And she lived.

Adults and children would act out in different ways. Some of these ways were very unhealthy and sometimes cruel. I could see where they hurt and how they were hurting someone else. It was challenging and confusing for me because I heard people say one thing with their mouths, yet I would clearly see in their hearts that they were hiding what they really felt and thought. I would ask them again thinking it would make it easier for them to say what they really wanted to say, but their answers would remain the same. For some reason they were afraid and they felt unable or unwilling to speak or share what they had experienced or what they thought.

My father, mother and brothers had a great love and appreciation for all animal life. I was very fortunate to have wolves for dogs and abandoned wildlife for pets. As a result, I was raised to respect nature. When it came to humans, animals and nature, I saw all Life as Equal. One life was no more precious or less important than the other. I saw no separation of Life in any form.

I could see, hear and feel things which were beyond the sensory abilities of those around me. Because of this, I developed a deep longing to understand the Truth of my World. Early on I gave expression to the things that I knew, only to have people respond with fear, anger and accusations that I was crazy. As I grew older, this caused me to consider that I might be crazy, which led me to hide and suppress the abilities which came so naturally to me.

As an adult I reconnected to the teachings of the Catholic and Protestant Churches which allowed me some solace and the expression of some of my ways of Knowing. One specific aspect of this was in the realms of Healing, Words of Knowledge/Wisdom and Prophecy. But even then I saw and knew that there was so much more for me to discover and learn. Once again I found myself being led out of the conventional teachings. I began to explore other belief systems and healing/energy practices.

Due to experiences throughout my life, I recognized the crippling factors of fear and judgment within myself and others. This seemed to me to be a conditioning within all human beings – to one degree or another.

As I grew to accept my abilities and to move through much of my conditioned fear, information underlying the philosophical and treatment approach of ESM began to express itself in and through me. Having met Gayle at this time and recognizing that we shared this desire for Truth, I taught Gayle how to experience herself as Energy. We then undertook this Conscious Journey to bring the information that I was receiving to others and began utilizing this information in our respective healing practices and personal lives.
