You've Talked About It Enough
For people who’ve done the therapy, read the books, and still feel stuck. There’s a reason. And it’s not in your head.
The Limit of Words
- You've been in therapy. Maybe for years.
- You understand your patterns. You can name your triggers. You know where your wounds came from And yet.
- The same reactions keep happening. The same tension lives in your body. The same heaviness returns when you least expect it.
- You've talked about your childhood. You've processed the grief. You've gained insight after insight.
But knowing isn’t the same as healing.
- Here's what most people don't realize:
- “Your body stores what your mind has processed. Understanding something cognitively doesn't release it from your nervous system. That's why you can "know better" and still feel stuck.”
What Your Body Knows
- Your body has been keeping score this whole time.
- The tightness in your chest when you try to speak up. The knot in your stomach before difficult conversations. The exhaustion that doesn't go away no matter how much you rest.
- These aren't just physical symptoms. They're stored experiences. Emotions that were too big to feel at the time. Protection patterns that helped you survive but now keep you small.
- Talk therapy reaches your mind. But your body speaks a different language.
Marcel Camargo
To heal fully, you have to go where the pain actually lives.
“I had never done exercise as a complement to emotional therapy. That worked really well for me and it was cool to feel strong, warmed up and grounded in my body before tackling some bigger emotional issues.”
A Different Approach
At Word of Mouth, we work with the whole person. Not just the story you tell about yourself, but the experience living in your body right now
Our approach blends multiple modalities into one integrated experience:
Movement
Reconnecting you to your body through intentional, grounding practices that build safety and awareness
Breathwork
Accessing and releasing what's stored in your nervous system, beyond what words can reach
Energy Work
Clearing blockages and restoring flow to areas that have been holding tension, sometimes for years
Coaching
Integrating insights with practical guidance so changes actually stick in your daily life
Why This Works When Talk Therapy Plateaus
- Talk therapy is powerful. We're not against it. Many of our clients continue therapy alongside our work.
- But there are things the body needs that conversation can't provide:
- Not by fixing what's "wrong" with you. But by reconnecting you to what's been there all along.
- A felt sense of safety, not just an intellectual understanding of it
- Physical release of tension and stored emotion
- New somatic experiences that rewire old patterns
- Direct access to parts of yourself that live below language
- Integration of insights into your actual nervous system
Integration of insights into your actual nervous system When you only work with the mind, healing stays conceptual. When you include the body, it becomes embodied.
Austin McDonald
That's the difference between understanding your patterns and actually being free of them.
“It’s not therapy and it’s not your typical relationship coaching. It gets to the source of everything… helping guide you to the conversations that really matter, the connection that really is there underneath everything.”
What Clients Experience
This work creates safety, trust, and embodiment, allowing relationships to feel deeply connected, emotionally alive, and genuinely nourishing.
In the first few sessions:
A sense of being held in a way that's different from traditional therapy
Awareness of where your body has been storing tension and emotion
Experiences that feel like "clicking" or "coming home"
Relief that doesn't require more analysis
Marcel Camargo
The way you show up. The way you attract. The way you connect.
Wow. This one caught me off guard. I had just had a turbulent weekend with some family issues and I came here about mid-week to try this curated experience that combines exercise, breath work, some talk therapy.
Within the first month:
Old reactions becoming less automatic
More capacity to be present with difficult emotions
Physical symptoms (tension, fatigue, digestive issues) beginning to shift

Experiencing Safety, Trust, and Deep Emotional Connection for the First Time
“The biggest lessons I have learned are that play and joy can be the foundation that supports us through the hard stuff, that personal development and growth don’t have to be painful.”
Over time:
Freedom from patterns you thought were permanent
A felt sense of safety and groundedness in your own ski
Tools you can use on your own to regulate and reconnect
Tools you can use on your own to regulate and reconnect
Caitlin Neal
The way you show up. The way you attract. The way you connect.
“The way I speak, connect socially, move confidently, share intimacy, and hold eye contact has transformed, creating deeper presence, authenticity, and ease in every interaction.”

Who This Coaching Is For — And Who It Isn’t
This program is for those ready for real, embodied connection, honest self-reflection, and transformative guidance—not quick fixes or surface-level advice.
This Is For You If
- You've done significant work in talk therapy and feel like you've hit a ceiling
- You understand your patterns but can't seem to change them
- You sense that your body is holding something your mind has already processed
- You're open to approaches that go beyond conversation
- You want healing that you can actually feel, not just understand
This Is Not For You If
- You're looking for a quick fix or magic solution
- You're not willing to feel uncomfortable sensations as they release
- You prefer to stay entirely in intellectual processing
- You're in acute crisis (in which case, please seek appropriate clinical support first)
Meet Your Guides
- Jaime and Yonatan Elkayam are Reiki masters, certified in multiple somatic and movement modalities, and trained coaches who have spent years developing this integrated approach.
- They didn't create this work from theory. They created it because they needed it themselves. Everything they teach comes from direct experience, refined through hundreds of client sessions.
- Their studio in West Hollywood is designed to feel like a sanctuary, not a clinical office. The space itself supports the work, creating an environment where the nervous system can actually relax and healing can happen.
- Clients consistently describe them as able to see and sense things that others miss, meeting you exactly where you are while holding space for where you're going.
Hyim Ross
Licensed Clinical Mental Health Therapist
“As a licensed clinical mental health therapist as well as a Reiki practitioner for over two decades, I must say that my experience with Jaime was profoundly nurturing as well as professional and poignant. I walked away both feeling wiser and calmer while also more present and uplifted.”
A sanctuary where your body can finally exhale
- Our private studio is located in West Hollywood, just off Melrose Avenue. It's designed to feel like a sanctuary, a place where your nervous system can finally exhale.
- For clients outside Los Angeles, virtual sessions are just as effective. The work translates seamlessly to video, allowing for deep, meaningful results. Many of our long-term clients continue to experience consistent progress through ongoing remote sessions.
Maxine Tatlonghari
A Sanctuary for Deep Restoration
“In this cozy, private loft off Melrose, you’ve stumbled upon a haven where Reiki and sound healing recharge your batteries. Talk about a vibe that’s as soothing as a spa day, but from the inside out.”
Your Body Has Been Waiting
- You've done the hard work of understanding yourself. That matters. That foundation is real. But maybe understanding was only the first half of the journey.
- Maybe the rest of the healing has been waiting for you to find it where it actually lives.

Madison Holland
Holding Yourself with Love and Presence

Caitlin Neal
Holding Yourself with Love and Presence
“This level of comfort, trust, and at-homeness in my body is beyond what I knew was possible.”
