A place to come back to yourself.

You’ve built a life that works in so many ways. And still, part of you is quietly asking for more. More honesty with the person you love, and more room to be yourself inside your own life.

We’re Jaime and Yonatan. We created Word of Mouth for people who want to feel closer, to themselves and to the people they share their lives with. For some, that starts with an honest conversation. For others, it starts with an hour of Reiki.

Depending on what you need, our sessions bring together coaching, movement, breath, Reiki, and sound.

Visit our studio in Los Angeles, or join us online for coaching and distance Reiki.

What kind of support are you looking for?

You can begin wherever you are.

I want more connection and real change.

You want your relationships and your everyday life to reflect who you really are. You’re ready to look at your patterns, say more honestly what you want, and practice living differently.

Rather start on your own? Our self-guided programs are here whenever you’re ready.

Your life can be going well, and you can still be longing for something.

Maybe you’re the one people lean on. You’re capable and loving, and you’re good at taking care of whatever is in front of you.

You’ve done a lot of growing already. You know yourself pretty well. And still, something feels just out of reach.

Maybe it’s the closeness you want in your marriage. Maybe it’s the freedom to say what you actually think, or the joy you expected to feel once you finally arrived at the life you were building.

It’s okay to want more from a life you already love.

Finding this place was such a blessing. What I appreciate most about Word of Mouth is how human the work feels. Nothing is forced or rushed. The sessions meet you exactly where you are, and real change unfolds from there. I’m finding more joy in my day to day life, more fulfillment from my relationships and a deeper sense of you I am. The tools I’ve learned keep me grounded and focused. I am so grateful for this work, thank you Jaime.

All of you belongs in the room.

Your thoughts, your body, your feelings, your relationships, and your spiritual life are always in conversation with each other. When one part of you is struggling, the rest usually knows.

We learned this in our own marriage first. Real change almost always asks us to pay attention to more than one part of ourselves at once.

Some days, a little movement or a few slower breaths is what helps someone find their footing. Other days it’s an honest conversation, or the stillness of Reiki and sound.

We bring in whatever is useful for you in that moment. Nothing is scripted.

I am finally having conversations with myself that are loving. I don't know how I survived so long without feeling love for myself. I met Jaime and Yonatan through a class they taught. In that short class I learned things that started to change my life immediately. The amount of suffering in my life started to ease. I decided to get a consultation with them and see if we were a good fit. Since then I have healed and grown in ways I only thought possible in books and movies. I have felt so much love, my love. I have felt joy, fulfillment, sorrow, closure, awe. I've started being authentic with myself. Yes authentic with others as well. I feel safe with Yonatan and Jaime. I have shared things/burdens I have never shared with anyone, because until them I thought trust was an illusion, an act, a game of dare or chicken. I now know what trust feels like. I now know how it feels to feel safe. Safe in my head and safe with two amazing beings that continue to listen, guide, and nurture.

Our story

It started with an uncomfortable truth.

On our first date, Yonatan told Jaime something about himself that had ended conversations with other people before.

Her answer was simple. “Me too.”

Eight years later, our life looks very different from anything we imagined that night. We’re married, we’re raising our son, and we’re still practicing what we started at that table: telling each other the truth, even as we both keep changing.

That conversation was the beginning of Word of Mouth.
