UNATERA

What UNATERA does

UNATERA, operated through its parent legal entity SAS ADEIGMA (share capital €30,000, headquartered at 15 Rue Jurien de la Gravière, Brest), is a French boutique coaching and training firm founded by Philippe Ricoul in 2017. The firm offers individual coaching (PNL, fear release, work-life balance, meditation, Ericksonian family constellations, systemic constellations), professional training (Manager Coach, École de Coaching, supervision of professional coaches, Option Supervision Double-Tête), and the Vertuarium accompaniment program for business leaders focused on the Economy of Functionality and Cooperation (EFC), circular economy, CSRD, and biodiversity. Sessions are priced per day or per session on an income-based sliding scale, ranging from €50 to €1,000 HT, and are delivered in-person at nature venues in Brittany (Golfe du Morbihan, forest of Aizenay, côte de Lumière, Finistère) or remotely via Zoom/Skype. The customer base is organized across three primary segments — enterprises (B2B training and team coaching), professional coaches (certification and supervision), and individuals (personal development) — with nine named SMB and startup enterprises currently participating in the Vertuarium cohort.

The business operates on a pure professional-services model: founder-led and partner-augmented delivery, no external funding, no AI/ML or software product, and no disclosed revenue. Go-to-market is direct sales via the unatera.fr website, phone, and email, supplemented by LinkedIn and YouTube content, the founder's 21-year tenure in the CJD network, and the annual VERTUOSITES events. The competitive differentiators cited are Philippe Ricoul's 20+ years of coaching experience, the proprietary Vertuarium and Double-Tête methodologies, nature-immersive delivery, and integration of sustainable-economy frameworks into leadership development. The firm is highly founder-dependent, regionally anchored in Brittany, and structured as a micro-SME with 6 employees.
