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.

“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.
At Word of Mouth, we don’t simply offer Reiki therapy. We create a full mind-body-spirit experience designed to meet you exactly where you are. People across Los Angeles trust us because our approach is both grounded and deeply intuitive.
Every person’s energy is unique, so no two sessions are ever the same. We combine Reiki, breathwork, somatic awareness, sound therapy, and intuitive coaching to create a session that supports your individual needs. You receive a healing experience that is truly made for you.
Our founders have spent over a decade studying energy medicine, somatic practices, breathwork, Classical Pilates, sound healing, and conscious coaching. Their experience allows them to guide you with both technical skill and deep emotional understanding.
Many clients describe feeling calmer, lighter, and more centered after just one session. Whether you are dealing with LA traffic stress, demanding work environments, emotional heaviness, or ongoing exhaustion, our approach helps your energy return to a natural state of harmony.
Clients come from Santa Monica, Pasadena, Hollywood Hills, Venice, Beverly Hills, and beyond to experience the peaceful environment of our healing loft near Melrose. It is a private, welcoming space where your body and mind can finally take a breath.
We guide you with genuine care. There are no upsells or unrealistic claims. You receive clear pricing, thoughtful recommendations, and a healing plan that fits your lifestyle and goals. Your well-being is always our first priority.
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.

View More →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.
View More →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.
Learn More About Reiki
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.”Read More
What People Are Saying About Us
I felt clearer, lighter, and more positive. It was like a pressure valve had been released.
By combining breath, body, mind and energy work under one roof, in a single session, I take care of myself as a whole being rather than doing maintenance on each part individually.
Between Yonatan and Jaime you’re getting energy magicians, body mechanics, and musical healers all at once.
As a clinical therapist and a Reiki practitioner for two decades, my experience was profoundly nurturing, professional, and poignant. I walked away wiser and calmer, more present and uplifted.
When your nervous system is fired up from LA traffic and city pressure, our healing arts flip the switch back to calm. It’s giving your body permission to stop running on fumes.
Energy blockages show up as physical discomfort. We’ve seen people leave with less back pain, looser joints, and better sleep – from Venice Beach, CA to Hollywood Hills, CA.
Sometimes we carry emotions in our body without realizing it. Our energy medicine sessions release old grief, anger, or fear that’s been stuck or stagnant.
When your energy is balanced and chakras are aligned, your body remembers how to rest. Clients from Manhattan Beach, CA tell us they sleep better after just one energy healing session.
In our Reiki Level 1 training, you’ll learn to channel healing energy for yourself. This isn’t theory – you’ll practice in real time and feel the energy that flows through your hands. You’ll rediscover your healing capacity and become a certified Reiki practitioner.
One student shared: “I recently completed my Reiki Level 1 certification with Jaime and Yonatan at Word of Mouth, and it was incredibly profound. Over two magical Sundays, I learned from these amazing teachers in their beautiful home sanctuary.”

One client who did both levels shared: “Despite knowing nothing about this, I jumped into Level 1 training in March 2024. The sessions were incredibly enlightening. I did Level 2 in August and my spiritual growth has been remarkable.”

Sometimes your healing asks for more than Reiki. That’s why Word of Mouth combines Reiki therapy with life coaching through our private coaching sessions. Reiki is complementary therapy that works alongside our holistic and transformative coaching approach.
Traditional therapy focuses on talking about problems. Energy-based life coaching helps you feel solutions in your body first, then figure out practical next steps.
One client in recovery shared: “Recovery is big part of my spiritual growth. I mentioned this to Jaime and she offered to help me connect with my Higher Power. I’m incredibly happy with the progress I’ve made.”
Clear limiting beliefs stored in your energy field
Connect with your intuition for better decisions
Set goals that align with your authentic self
Tune into solutions rather than fixating on problems
Create lasting change from inside out
Achieve balance in all life areas
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.
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.
Word of Mouth is a Los Angeles healing practice led by Jaime and Yonatan Elkayam, a husband-and-wife team. We help sensitive, service-oriented people move out of burnout and back into a sustainable sense of overflow. Our work blends Reiki and energy healing, sound healing, breathwork, somatic movement, and 1:1 coaching. Sessions happen in our private healing loft near Melrose in Los Angeles (90038). Most people start with a single Reiki session or a free coaching discovery call.
