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.

Who comes to us

Most of the people who find us are the ones everyone else leans on. Therapists, nurses, parents, the friend who always picks up the phone. They have done real work on themselves and can name the pattern. They are still tired, and something in the body has not caught up with what the head already knows.

That is the work here. Some people come for a single Reiki session and feel the difference in an hour. Others stay for a season of one-on-one coaching, where the body and the conversation are in the same room, with the same person, every week.

Three ways to work with us

Coaching

One-on-one, with Jaime or Yonatan, ninety minutes a week for twelve weeks. In the studio, or on Zoom for everything but sound. We start with the body and go where the session needs to go: movement, breath, Reiki, or a long honest conversation.

Reiki Healing

You lie down fully clothed while we rest our hands on or near the body. Most people feel warmth, or a heaviness lifting. Some just get the deepest rest they have had in a while. Your first session is $85.

Sound Healing

Bowls, gong, piano and voice, in person in our studio. For a nervous system that will not settle, and for the moments words are not reaching.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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

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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.
