Holistic Life Coaching · West Hollywood
Feel clearer and more grounded with holistic coaching in LA
Talk gives you insight, but the body often stays stuck in the same patterns. Holistic coaching at our West Hollywood studio blends reiki, breathwork, Classical Pilates, and conversation into one weekly session, so change lands in the body and not only in the story about it. For therapists, creatives, founders, and couples across Los Angeles.

The Approach
What is holistic coaching, and how is it different?
Holistic coaching works with the mind, body, and spirit together, not thoughts and beliefs alone. Where a conventional life coach focuses on goals and mindset through conversation, a whole-person approach brings breathwork, somatic awareness, energy work, and movement into the same session. At Word of Mouth in West Hollywood, that means reiki, breathwork, Classical Pilates, and coaching conversation woven into one weekly container.
Coaching is a complement to therapy, not a substitute for it. A licensed therapist can diagnose and treat mental-health conditions. Coaching does not. If you are already in therapy and want a body-based next step, that is the lane we work in. If you have never been in therapy, we will clarify what is appropriate for your situation on the discovery call.
Who It Is For
Who holistic coaching is for in LA
Grounded, body-based support for people who already understand their patterns and want the body to catch up.
Creatives and founders
Creative block, decision fatigue, and the pressure to produce live in the body as much as the mind. We work with actors, musicians, executives, and entrepreneurs who need more than a strategy session.
Couples
Jaime and Yonatan are a married couple who bring that into the room. They work with couples who want to communicate differently, repair connection, or move through a pattern conversation alone has not shifted.
Couples coaching →Coaching supports people moving through stress, burnout, and stuck patterns as a complement to medical or mental-health care. It is not a substitute for professional treatment.
One Session, Four Layers
What an integrative coaching session actually includes
You understand your patterns, but the body has not caught up. Every session moves through four layers in order, because insight lands deeper once the body is ready to receive it.
Breath
We open with conscious breathwork to settle the nervous system and shift out of automatic patterns before anything else begins.
Body
Classical Pilates creates grounded physical presence. Movement that integrates what is happening in the body, not just the story about it.
Energy
Reiki supports the energetic layer, where emotional residue often sits between sessions, unspoken and unmoved.
Conversation
Coaching talk happens after the body is ready to receive it. The insights that surface tend to be sharper and more honest than talk alone.

In Their Words
What coaching clients say
★★★★★
My time with Jaime every week guides my actions across my life and imbues intention, reflection, understanding and meaning into everything I do. To take time to do less for a few hours a week multiplies the value of everything else that I do.
Eric Sagotsky
★★★★★
As a Reiki practitioner for over two decades, my experience with Word of Mouth was profoundly nurturing as well as professional and poignant. I walked away feeling wiser and calmer while also more present and uplifted.
Hyim Ross
★★★★★
Never have I ever felt more connected to my body. I am finally having conversations with myself that are loving.

Good Questions
Holistic coaching in LA, answered
Honest answers about how coaching works, what it costs, and how it fits alongside therapy.
We do not post a single public price because programs are structured around your timeline and goals. The discovery call is free and covers what a program would look like for you, including structure and investment. Payment plans are available for all coaching programs.
A life coach typically works with goals, habits, and mindset through conversation. A holistic coach brings the body into that work: breathwork, somatic awareness, energy work, and movement. The word holistic means the whole person is in the room, not just the thoughts.
Most coaching programs are talk-based. Ours works somatically, energetically, and conversationally in the same session. The integration of Classical Pilates, breathwork, and reiki alongside coaching comes from having two practitioners with complementary modalities in the room together.
Yes, and we encourage it. Coaching here is a complement to therapy, not a substitute for it. Many clients come to us while in therapy and find the two work well together. We will be clear about what is in scope for coaching on the discovery call.
Both options are available. Some sessions work well in-person at our private West Hollywood studio, and others can be done virtually. We will discuss what makes sense for your program on the discovery call.
Yes. Jaime and Yonatan approach couples work as a married couple who use this practice in their own relationship. Sessions address communication, patterns, and connection in a body-aware way.
No. This is a consumer-pay service and is not covered by health insurance. We do not bill insurance and do not accept FSA or HSA payments.
