Who We Are

About Lost in the Astral 

We don't guess. We audit and engineer.

Most practices pick a lane. Hard science or mysticism. Clinical or alternative. Analytical or intuitive.

We chose both. And that is exactly why people find us after everything else has failed.

Lost in the Astral only works because both sides of the practice are in the room.

This is not one person stretching into ten disciplines. It is a deliberate collision between embodied precision, research, systems engineering, and pattern recognition.

The Founders

Scott Hinojosa

Consciousness Systems Engineering visualization

Scott operates in Consciousness Systems Engineering. His work is grounded in extensive personal study across mentalism, psychology, sociology, culture, folklore, ancient cultures and religion, comparative religion, esoteric studies, divination, military tactics, game design and theory, psychic abilities, and more.

He audits the patterns that run your life, your decisions, and your blind spots using mentalist methods and cognitive perception. Not guesswork. Not theory borrowed from a textbook. Direct observation, tested frameworks, and the kind of confrontational honesty most practitioners are afraid to offer.

He solves what others cannot because he looks where others will not.

The Founders

Kacie Hinojosa

Kacie is a certified researcher, a doctoral candidate at IHS, and an award-winning sports and wellness massage therapist. She recently won gold and two bronze medals at the Open Massage Championship (Oregon). She holds a BA in Health and Wellness and has extensive personal study in mental and emotional self-understanding, plus extensive academic work in herbalism. Her practice sits at the intersection of physical structure and deep psychology, with extensive personal study in Jungian frameworks and Dark Psychology.

She does not just treat symptoms. She reads the body's patterns and connects them to the cognitive architecture underneath. When you step onto her table or into her session, you can begin to notice how precision replaces guesswork.

Scott

Pattern recognition

Mentalist methods, systems thinking, and direct observation applied where the usual explanations keep failing.

Kacie

Embodied precision

Award-winning bodywork, doctorate-level study at IHS, and a research-based approach that reads more than the symptom.

Together

One standard

Hard science, deep practice, and a refusal to sell comforting language when the real issue still has a pulse.

The Synergy

Hard Science Meets Deep Practice

Together, we bridge what most practices keep separate: a doctorate and an engineering mind alongside divination and esoteric mastery. One foot in empirical structure. One foot in the unseen.

We do not guess. We audit and engineer. That combination is why clients come to us after everything else has failed.

Based in Newport, Oregon. Built on pattern recognition, omnist philosophy, and a refusal to sell you comfortable lies. If you are looking for someone to nod along and tell you what you want to hear, we are not the right fit. If you want the mirror held up with zero flinch, keep reading.

The crossover

Two disciplines. One standard.

One side of the work reads bodies, recovery, and structure. The other reads systems, patterns, and cognitive architecture. Lost in the Astral exists where those lines stop being separate.

What We Are Not

Lost in the Astral is not a clinical or medical practice (with the exception of Kacie's licensed massage therapy). We do not provide licensed therapy, psychiatry, or medical treatment.

Our services are complementary. We work alongside licensed clinical professionals, never in place of them. Growth and evolution depend on the client's effort. We provide the framework and the mirror. You do the work.

If you are in crisis, contact a licensed provider or call the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Where this goes

If the way we work makes sense, the next step is simple.

You do not need to agree with every word on the page. You need to know whether you are ready for direct observation, clean feedback, and work that does not hide behind a softer label.
