The Approach
What does a spiritual life coach actually do?
A spiritual life coach helps clients identify and move toward a deeper sense of meaning, purpose, and alignment in their lives. This differs from goal-setting coaching, and it differs from therapy. It draws on your own values, beliefs, and embodied knowing, using conversation, somatic awareness, breathwork, and Reiki energy work to support clarity and direction.
Spiritual coaching at Word of Mouth does not prescribe a religious framework, a belief system, or metaphysical claims. It works with what is actually present in you and supports you in living from that more consistently. It is a complement to therapy or licensed mental-health care, the kind of support the National Institute of Mental Health encourages people to maintain, not a substitute for it, and neither Jaime nor Yonatan is a licensed therapist.
One Word, Two Layers
What is the difference between a life coach and a spiritual coach?
Spiritual Coach
Works at the meaning level alongside strategy: purpose, values, identity, and how you want to inhabit your life, not only what you want to accomplish in it.
Word of Mouth
We combine both: embodied spiritual coaching bringing breathwork, Reiki, and conversation into the same hour, working the nervous-system, energetic, and meaning levels together.
Who It's For
Who spiritual life coaching is for in LA
Common patterns we see: feeling lost or stuck despite outer success, a crossroads in career or relationships, coming through grief or a life transition, or a spiritual experience that has outrun your current tools.
Creatives & Entertainment Professionals
Writers, directors, musicians, and artists who want to reconnect with why they make things, not just how to make more of them.

Your Session
What happens in a spiritual coaching session
1
We settle the nervous system first
Most sessions begin with conscious breathing, a body scan, or a brief Reiki attunement, moving you from the day's cognitive noise into a state where deeper awareness is actually accessible.
2
We follow what's present
Jaime or Yonatan work with what you bring: a feeling, a question, a decision, a stuck place. The session is not scripted. Breathwork, Reiki, or movement come in as the work asks for them.
3
We ground the insight in the body
The session closes with integration: what landed, what shifted, and what you are taking with you. The goal is a felt change, not just a beautiful conversation.
4
You leave lighter, not just informed
Most clients describe leaving lighter and inspired, and that quality tends to persist well beyond the hour itself.
Sessions do not involve prayer, tarot, psychic readings, or channeling. Reiki here is a practitioner-taught energy system grounded in the Usui lineage, not improvised.

In Their Words
What clients say about meaning-making
Eric Sagotsky
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 recently completed my Reiki Level 1 certification with Jaime and Yonatan at Word of Mouth, and it was an incredibly profound experience. Over two magical Sundays, I had the honor of learning from these luminous teachers in their beautiful home sanctuary, which provided the perfect setting for a deep dive into Reiki. The entire experience has been a gift, allowing me the space to truly connect with myself and embrace the stillness and presence of unconditional love. I am deeply grateful for Jaime and Yonatan’s gracious hospitality, impeccable integrity, and for guiding us to understand that we can be our own walking sanctuary. I’m looking forward to continuing my journey with Reiki Level 2 training. If you’re considering learning Reiki, I wholeheartedly recommend Word of Mouth. The experience has been nothing short of life-changing.

I’ve been receiving Reiki and working with Jamie and Yonatan for the last three years and truly they have transformed my life and my relationship to energy in ways I can’t even describe. 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, and that I am supported in this journey called life in ways I can’t even see or understand. They truly make healing feel fun and playful. A rare combination. If you’re intuition led you here I beg of you to follow it and discover for yourself.

Good Questions
Spiritual life coaching in LA, answered
Honest answers about belief, meaning, and how a spiritual coaching session actually works.
No. You do not need to identify as spiritual, hold any belief system, or arrive with a spiritual framework. Clients who are religious, secular, agnostic, and everything in between work with us effectively. We do not prescribe a view, we work with yours.
That uncertainty is often exactly where this work is useful. Many clients arrive in a transitional place, having outgrown a framework or not yet found one. Spiritual coaching can hold that ambiguity without needing to resolve it prematurely.
No. Sessions use breathwork, Reiki, a practitioner-taught energy system grounded in the Usui lineage, not channeled or improvised, and intentional conversation. We do not offer tarot, psychic readings, akashic records, or any form of divination. Our approach is embodied and specific.
We can hold conversations about spiritual emergencies and will work with you gently. If what surfaces appears to be a mental health crisis, psychotic episode, or condition requiring clinical care, we will say so directly and support you in finding the right professional. Spiritual coaching is not a substitute for clinical care in those situations.
One-on-one coaching is $4,500 for twelve weeks, in three payments of $1,500 every four weeks, or $4,200 if you pay in full. If you would rather start with one session, the 90-minute Integrative Wellness Session is $375. Your free discovery call is where we work out what fits.
Single sessions are available and a good way to experience the work before deciding on anything longer. Coaching programs are offered for clients who want a sustained arc, and those begin with a discovery call.
Meditation apps work with awareness and attention. Spiritual coaching works with meaning, embodiment, and the relational context of your life. A session involves another person, somatic tools, Reiki, and guided conversation that a recorded meditation cannot offer. The two can complement each other well.
Both. In-person sessions are at our private studio on Highland Ave near Melrose. Coaching also runs on Zoom, wherever you live.
