Ray Gabriel

Family & Spiritual Mentor

Ray lives on two anchors, and he comes back to them in every conversation: his family, and his relationship with God. Humility is the first thing people notice. His integrity and comfort with his own emotions are right there with that.

He won’t try to connect you with what is right for him. He’s ready to listen and help you get clear on what matters for you, and how to build a healthy relationship with it.

The Morning

Every day starts the same way......coffee, and quiet, before the day asks anything of him. In his own words:

“I pray, I journal, I meditate, I speak to God, my Angels, my Spirit guide team, and my loved ones who are no longer of this Earth. I set my daily intentions and ask God to align them with his will and allow me to accomplish them in a stress free manner.” — Ray

A man having coffee, praying, journaling, and talking to the people he’s lost......that’s not off the deep end. That’s one of the oldest, most grounded things humans do. The fact that he says it out loud is the whole point of this work......a man being real with another man instead of carrying it alone.

A Little of Who He Is

When his father passed, Ray realized none of the old man’s history had ever been written down. So he made a crusade of recording his own......the good and the bad......for his sons and his grandkids, so they’d know who he was and what he stood for. He calls it beautiful therapy. He also gave four years to the Rick Hansen Foundation, teaching inclusion and accessibility for differently abled people......work he found humbling.

From Jhöl

“We met on my grief trip in January 2026 and he’s now one of my best friends. We speak every week. He’s been an inspiration to me to be a better father and given me a way to speak honestly about my spirituality and how I connect to the bigger picture of life. He is the best man I know for this kind of work, and I am honoured to have him here as a resource to other men.” — Jhöl Unger
