Become Your Own Best Healer: Coaching & Reiki in Los Angeles

A client recently visited our healing space after a difficult weekend filled with family conflict. They walked in feeling drained, anxious, and unsure of what to expect. During their Integrative Coaching session which combines Classical Pilates, breathwork, intuitive coaching, and Reiki therapy, they noticed something shift almost immediately. After the session, they told us,

“I was amazed to feel like I could take deeper breaths again. My chest felt open and cleaner.”

This is the quiet power of Reiki, often called “the people’s medicine.” Reiki does more than soothe symptoms. It works gently and safely with your natural energy to clear the blocks that make you feel tired, stuck, or overwhelmed. When your energy begins to flow again, you feel like yourself again.

Reiki Healing Services

Reiki Healing

During a Reiki session, you will lie down fully clothed while we gently place our hands on or near different parts of your body. The intention is to support relaxation, release energetic tension, and help your body return to balance.

Coaching

This holistic experience works with your mind, body, and spirit at the same time. We integrate coaching, breathwork, somatic awareness, and energy healing to support emotional growth, clarity, and long-term transformation.

Sound Healing

Our sound healing sessions use bowls, chimes, voice, and gentle vibration to help your nervous system settle. Many clients seek sound therapy when they want mental clarity, emotional release, or a deeper sense of connection.

Reiki Energy Medicine

What Is Reiki Therapy and Energy Medicine?

Reiki energy healing is an ancient Japanese healing practice developed by Dr. Mikao Usui. Reiki comes from the Japanese words “rei” (universal) and “ki” (life energy). This form of energy healing helps restore balance to your body’s natural energy systems and reduce stress. Think of it like clearing a clogged drain – once the blockages are removed, everything flows the way it’s supposed to.

During a Reiki treatment at our Los Angeles center, we will place our hands gently on or near your body to channel the universal life force energy that flows through all living things. You’ll feel warmth, tingling, a sense of peace or just deep relaxation. Many clients from Santa Monica, CA to Pasadena, CA fall asleep because their body finally feels permission to truly rest.

Experience Deep Healing Through Our Los Angeles Energy Healing Sessions

What Happens During Your First Visit to Word of Mouth?

Your first energy healing session starts with Jaime or Yonatan (that’s us) talking with you like real humans. We want to understand what brought you here – physical pain, emotional stress, seeking connection, or just feeling “off.” Then you lie fully clothed on our comfortable table while we work with your energy field.

Most people notice shifts immediately. One client said: “I left feeling deeply relaxed and like my energy was made of champagne bubbles, which felt amazing considering I came in stressed and upset.“

What People Are Saying About Us

Benji G

My wife and I knew we needed assistance, but every couples counselor we looked at felt cold and clinical, not what we were looking for. When we found Word of Mouth, something felt different. Jaime & Yonatan brought a warmth and humanity to the process that made us both feel safe. Their holistic approach to relationship coaching didn’t just help us communicate better, it guided us back to each other. Our relationship today is stronger than it has ever been. These two are genuinely special, and I mean it when I say this work saved my marriage.

Gabriel

For those curious about exploring Reiki, Yonatan is an incredible person to work with. His energy and presence help create an open and positive environment for facilitating the healing process. The way that I would describe my own experience is that that my energy felt significantly more clear after my sessions. Emotions that felt stuck for years began to open. Energy flowed more clearly. From that more open space, I could see myself more clearly and let go of more and more. I've felt lighter and freer than I have in years since. I'm really I happy I tried Reiki with Yonatan / Word of Mouth. I can't recommend him enough as a guide for this process.

Paige Craig

I’m no stranger to energy work, yet Word Of Mouth stands out as one of the most calming experiences with measurable results that I’ve had. The session began with guided Pilates stretches that softened my physical tension, opening emotional channels to allow more flow. Yonatan is intuitive and paternal holding space in a way that feels safe and nurturing. Without having to spill my life history, like CBT or talk therapy, I was able to discuss only the current topic to set the stage for focused energy clearing. The session was relaxing and I left each session feeling a little lighter. The critical factor though, was that the reiki WORKED. Weeks and months after my sessions, the results I sought were continually happening. My relationship with my partner dramatically improved, and even my inner voice became more patient, more compassionate, and more steadfastly positive. I highly recommend working with Yonatan and/or Jaime. They are a fantastic team and extraordinary individuals.

I’ve done a lot of transformation work over the years. What Jaime & Yonatan offer is unlike anything I’ve encountered. Their approach is deliberate and layered, first priming the body through breath and movement, then the mind through talk, and finally the spirit through energy work and sound. It sounds simple when you describe it. In practice it’s profound. Every coaching session leaves me feeling focused, relaxed and confident in a way that no single modality ever has. The shifts I’ve experienced through their transformational coaching have been massive, not surface level, but deep and lasting. The kind that only come from doing real inner work. I’m grateful I found Word of Mouth. If you’re ready to go all the way in, this is the place

nir weisser

I was searching for Reiki training and found Word of Mouth. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made. Jaime & Yonatan are exceptional teachers. Their approach gave me real confidence from the very first session. Nothing felt overwhelming or out of reach. What I learned in Reiki Level I & II certification didn’t just make me a better practitioner, it quietly started changing how I move through the rest of my life too. I’m already signed up for Reiki Master training. That says everything. If you’re looking to learn Reiki and want teachers who are as warm as they are knowledgeable this is the place.

Julia Beskin

I have worked with Reiki practitioners for many years. I know the difference between good and exceptional. Jaime & Yonatan are exceptional. Their intuitive approach to Reiki healing goes deeper than anything I’ve experienced before. It’s not just technique, it’s wisdom. Something in the way they work unlocked things in me that years of energy healing elsewhere hadn’t touched. I don’t say life-changing lightly. But that’s what this has been. I’ve found my energetic home at Word of Mouth.

Karla Guindi

I lost someone close to me and the grief was overwhelming. It was more than I knew how to carry alone. I’d heard Reiki could help with emotional healing. I found Word of Mouth online and booked a session. Walking out after that first appointment, I felt like someone had lifted a boulder off my chest. Jaime held such a nurturing, gentle space. I felt truly heard. Over the course of a few Reiki healing sessions, I was able to untangle what I was feeling and learn how to integrate the loss, rather than be consumed by it. If you’re carrying grief and don’t know where to turn, Reiki for grief is real. This place is real. I’m so grateful I found it.

יפעת דוק

As a certified life coach, I was burning out fast, the very thing I help my clients avoid. I Googled Reiki healing, found Word of Mouth, and their grounded, authentic presence made me trust them immediately. The first session reset my nervous system in a way I hadn’t felt in years. A few Reiki sessions in, my mental clarity improved and so did the quality of my client work. That’s when I committed to life coaching with Jaime & Yonatan. Their balance of masculine and feminine energy unlocked a perspective I couldn’t have found on my own. The energy healing tools they gave me around energetic hygiene were a game-changer. I now show up fully for my clients without absorbing their stuff. If you’re a practitioner teetering on the edge of burnout, this is the place. I couldn’t recommend Word of Mouth more

Julian Melcer

Did level 1 Reiki training with Jamie and Yonatan, the experience was nothing short of magical. Their space is so beautiful full with magical instruments, and their energy is so beautiful. They have so much important wisdom and knowledge, highly recommended.

Brian Wolf

I’d wrestled with depression for a few years and couldn’t quite shake it. A friend suggested Reiki, and when I found Word of Mouth online, something about their message resonated, even though they were in another country entirely. I’ll be honest, I was skeptical. I wasn’t sure Reiki was real, let alone online Reiki over Zoom. But I decided to trust the process. That first session quietly changed something in me. I found a clarity I hadn’t felt in a long time. I found a sense of what was really going on beneath the surface. After a handful of online Reiki healing sessions, my life is genuinely on a new path. Jaime and Yonatan are the real thing. If you’re struggling and curious, I’d say give it a try.

Alternative Energy Practitioner Services in Los Angeles

As alternative energy practitioners, we work with several healing modalities beyond traditional Reiki. Your energy system is complex, and sometimes we need different tools for different situations.

During energy healing sessions, we might incorporate:

• Chakra balancing and chakra healing to align your energy centers

• Somatic awareness to heal at the cellular level

• Sound therapy using singing bowls, gongs, or shamanic drums

• Breathwork to move stagnant energy

• Movement and bodywork integration

• Gentle touch techniques for sensitive clients

A Beverly Hills, CA client came in with “heavy” energy after a difficult period. We used Reiki, breathwork, and sound healing. They left bright and clear, saying “the energy healing sessions are so helpful” and that Reiki “puts my mind and body in a deeply relaxed liminal space.”

Different people respond to different approaches. Some clients prefer crystals, others prefer pure Reiki practice. We let your energy guide us to create the right blend of Reiki or healing techniques that work best for your unique needs.

Holistic Medical Support Throughout LA

While we’re not medical doctors, Word of Mouth works as holistic medical practitioners alongside your healthcare team and healthcare professionals. Many LA doctors now recognize that stress and energy imbalances affect physical health. Reiki may be used as therapy alongside medical treatments.

A licensed therapist and Reiki practitioner for over two decades shared: “As a licensed clinical mental health therapist and Reiki practitioner for over twenty years, my experience was profoundly nurturing and professional. I walked away feeling wiser, calmer, more present and uplifted. I’ll definitely refer clients to this work.“

Before working together, we always ask about medications and conditions. Some clients need gentler approaches, especially if dealing with serious illness or high sensitivity.

Working holistically means looking at the whole person – physical, emotional, mental, spiritual. Your headache might connect to work stress. Your back pain might relate to feeling unsupported or an unprocessed breakup from years ago. We explore these connections gently, understanding that Reiki is complementary therapy meant to support, not replace, conventional medicine.
