Done the work, still feel stuck
You have real insight into your patterns, and the same tension keeps returning to the same place in your body. That gap between knowing and feeling different is exactly what Beyond Talk works with.

Beyond Talk: body-based coaching for life after therapy in West Hollywood
You have done the therapy. You understand your patterns, you can name your triggers, and you can trace your wounds back to where they started. And the same reaction still shows up in your chest before a hard conversation. Beyond Talk pairs movement, breathwork, and energy work with coaching conversation, for people whose body has not caught up to what their mind already knows.

The Approach
What is Beyond Talk, and who is it for?
Your body stores what your mind has already processed. Understanding something cognitively does not automatically release it from your nervous system, which is why insight alone can leave the same tension sitting in your chest, your stomach, or your shoulders. Beyond Talk works with that stored layer directly, through movement, breathwork, and energy work, integrated with coaching conversation in the same session.
Beyond Talk is complementary to therapy, not a substitute for it. Jaime and Yonatan Elkayam are Certified Reiki Master Teachers and trained coaches, not licensed therapists, and this work does not diagnose or treat any condition. Many clients continue talk therapy alongside Beyond Talk and find the two approaches reinforce each other.
Who It Is For
Who Beyond Talk is for
Built for people who have already done meaningful work in talk therapy and are ready for a body-based next step.
Understand your patterns, cannot shift them
You can narrate the pattern in detail. Narrating it has not been enough to change what your body does automatically in the moment.
Open to more than conversation
You are willing to work through movement, breath, and energy work, and to feel sensations as they release rather than only talk about them.
Beyond Talk is not designed as a quick fix, and it is not the right starting point if you are in acute crisis. If that is where you are, please seek appropriate clinical support first, and we are glad to talk about Beyond Talk once you have that support in place.
One Session, Four Modalities
What a Beyond Talk session actually includes
Talk therapy reaches the mind. Beyond Talk works with the body that is still holding what conversation alone could not release.
Movement
Intentional, grounding movement that reconnects you to your body and builds a felt sense of safety and awareness.
Breathwork
Conscious breathing that accesses and releases what is stored in the nervous system, beyond what words can reach.
Energy work
Reiki clearing blockages and restoring flow to areas that have been holding tension, sometimes for years.
Coaching
Practical, integrative coaching conversation that helps changes actually stick in your daily life.

In Their Words
What clients say
★★★★★
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.
Marcel Camargo
★★★★★
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.
Austin McDonald
★★★★★
As a licensed clinical mental health therapist as well as a Reiki practitioner for over two decades, my experience with Jaime was profoundly nurturing as well as professional and poignant.

Good Questions
Beyond Talk, answered
Honest answers about how this fits alongside therapy, what a session looks like, and what it costs.
Not necessarily. Many clients continue therapy alongside this work, and the two approaches tend to complement each other. Therapy helps you understand what is happening; Beyond Talk helps your body catch up to that understanding. Talk to your therapist about what makes sense for your situation.
It starts with a consultation call to understand where you are and what you have already tried. From there we map a custom combination of movement, breathwork, energy work, and coaching, and move into weekly sessions in person at our West Hollywood studio or virtually, each one building on the last.
No. Jaime and Yonatan are Certified Reiki Master Teachers and trained coaches, not licensed therapists. Beyond Talk is a complementary, body-based coaching approach. It does not diagnose or treat any mental-health condition and is not a substitute for therapy or medical care.
We do not post a single public price because sessions are scoped to your custom strategy on the consultation call. That call is free and covers what the work would look like for you, including structure and investment, with payment plans available.
Beyond Talk is designed for people who are stable enough to do deeper body-based work, not as a first response to crisis. If you are in acute crisis, please seek appropriate clinical support first. We are glad to talk about Beyond Talk once that support is in place.
Yes. Sessions happen in person at our private West Hollywood studio or virtually from anywhere, and many long-term clients continue remote sessions with consistent progress.
