Reiki, often called “the people’s medicine”
Some come for a single session and feel the difference in an hour.
After the Session, They Told Us
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 We Work With
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.
Where to Start
Three ways to work with us
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.

What People Are Saying About Us
Fleur Cauthen
This gem of a studio called Word of Mouth was a wonderful way to spend my weekend in a Reiki Level I course. The changes felt in me are still here on Monday, as I feel more present and connected to my body in a very grounded, rooted way. The course comes with a manual that I will be studying over the comings weeks while I continue to use this deeply healing practice. Their own music they use feels like being transported to another dimension.
Nicole Brodie
I came in for a sound healing at Word of Mouth. I had experienced soundbaths before, but this was different. I felt like I was taken on a journey. I left there so relaxed and centered, it really helped put things in focus for me. I will be back for more of their offerings and another sound healing soon. ✨❤️
Josh Gold
Good spiritual healers are hard to find and even harder to trust. Word of Mouth is the real thing. I came in for a Reiki healing session with Jaime, which left me feeling instantly lighter. The kind of light where you just know you’re going to sleep deeply that night. Beyond the energy healing itself, the insight I walked away with was just as valuable. I decided to do coaching with Word of Mouth after that session. The combination of masculine and feminine energy grounded each session, and gave me incredible perspective and clarity. My life has transformed for the best since working with Jaime and Yonatan. If you’ve been searching for a life coach you can actually trust look no further.
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.
