Jaime Elkayam

I started working with Jaime in January of 2024 and her impact on my life since then has been truly profound. We started with Pilates as I was trying to improve my physical conditioning. From the start, she quickly grasped my physical state and developed a program which accommodated my poor fitness. She quickly helped me move better and increase my strength. As I improved, Jaime introduced new movements to help me progress physically. Not only did Jaime help me advance, but she also helped me overcome physical maladies, including adding movements which addressed the pain I was experiencing due to sciatica. I rely upon Jaime as much or even more than my physician. As our relationship developed, I told Jaime I wanted improve my recovery from substance abuse and have tools which I can use in my own recovery and the recovery of others. She suggested I explore Reiki to understand and manage my personal energy and the energy around me. Despite my ignorance of the practice, I jumped in and did Reiki Level 1 training in March of 2024. The sessions were exceedingly enlightening and I learned a great deal. I did Reiki Level 2 training in August of 2024 and my education and spiritual growth has been remarkable. In both trainings, Jaime tailored the sessions to accommodate by background, especially my substance abuse, and ensure I received education which was optimally beneficial. Reiki is now an important aspect of my spiritual practice. A big part of my recovery is spiritual growth. I attempted increase my spirituality using the religious practices I learned as a youth. After a few months of trying on my own, I realized that the religious Higher Power I was using was not the Higher Power I wanted. I mentioned this to Jaime during one of our Pilates sessions and she offered she could be of assistance in defining, understanding and communicating with the Higher Power I sought. Based upon the great success I previously had working with Jaime, I started using her to assist me in grasping the nature of my Higher Power, how to listen to my Higher Power and how to harness the energy from my Higher Power. I am exceedingly happy with the progress I have made to date and plan to continue working with Jaime for the foreseeable future. If a person is looking to improve their life physically, emotionally and/or spiritually, I cannot think of a better resource than Jaime. Her basis of her work is to understand where I am and where I want to go and then guide me as I work to achieve my goals. Her knowledge, understanding and patience is tremendous and I am sincerely grateful I have been able to work with her.

I’ve been working with Jaime for over a year now. Her space is super calming and I find myself automatically smiling when I walk in the door. If you’re looking for a blend of fitness, mindfulness and life coaching with a healthy dose of relaxation, this is the place for you. I used to spend my time treating different parts of the body and mind in various places not considering the whole. Working at Word of Mouth has shown me a different way of approaching wellness uniting mind, body, emotion, spirit and community and it feels stickier and more transformative than other things I’ve done in the past. I can’t recommend it enough.

I started working with Jaime years ago and the evolution of the work has mirrored my own growth. Reiki, breathwork, coaching — all offered with so much integrity and care. I’m speak to myself more lovingly and feel lighter than I have in years. This work meets me where I’m at, and elves with me. So grateful.
