Yonatan Elkayam, Usui Reiki Master and Classical Pilates teacher, co-founder of Word of Mouth in Los Angeles

I’m Yonatan, co-founder of Word of Mouth with my wife, Jaime. We run our practice from our studio at 717 Highland Ave in Los Angeles, and we’re raising our son here in the city.

I came to this work through the body. I certified in Classical Pilates through Equinox’s Comprehensive Program and have been teaching it since 2019. Coaching one-on-one followed in 2020, the same year Jaime and I began studying Reiki in the Usui lineage with Sensei Julia Albain. We completed Level 1, Level 2, and our Master certification with her, and in 2022 we became Certified Conscious Connected Breathwork Facilitators.

Before any of that, I was a musician. Thirty years of composing and producing taught me how to listen, and that’s still most of what I do in a session. My two albums, Reaching Usui and Inner Alchemy, came out of this practice.

The work I care about is quiet and practical: helping you hear what your body has been trying to say, and building a life that doesn’t require burning out to feel worthwhile.

I booked an Integrative Wellness Session with Yonatan and was excited that it covered so many modalities in one visit. I am coming off a year of intense grief and realized the only way thru is by going deep within myself. The session consisted of breath work, Pilates, therapeutic coaching, and Reiki. Every aspect felt grounding and Yonatan was so reassuring and was such a great guide especially as it was my first time experiencing Reiki. He is a gentle soul and a fantastic listener as well. His words of wisdom regarding some of my personal challenges very much resonated with me and helped me reframe some stuck thinking in these areas. It was an uplifting and expansive time with Yonatan and I give the experience my highest recommendation.

My session with Yonatan was very impactful. I was truly moved by his warm, gentle, and intuitive nature, and his genuine openness, which enabled the session to share a very connected and intimate space together. Overall, the physical aspect of the Reiki paired with the talking integration of my personal intention was very therapeutic, both physically and mentally. I noticed later that week how it was like a pressure valve that had been released, moving the blocked energy around and out of my body. I felt clearer, lighter, and more positive. Many thanks to Yonatan, I recommend his work highly.
