Founder
Kacie Hinojosa.
Co-founder of Lost in the Astral. Where the body meets the inner life, read together, not in pieces.
The body keeps honest records. Tension patterns, bracing, the small ways breath changes when a topic lands. My job is not to flatter you. It is to describe what I see accurately enough that you can recognize it too, and decide what you want to do with it.
What I notice first
Kindness, for me, is truth told cleanly. Softening is sometimes merciful. Other times it is abandonment dressed up as care. I will not confuse the two in my room.
If you are looking for a practitioner who needs you to be impressed, I am not a match. If you are looking for someone who can hold complexity without turning your life into a performance, we may be.
I respect skill when it is grounded in study and supervised practice. I do not confuse credentials with character, but I also do not pretend training does not matter. It matters because your nervous system is not a place for amateur hour.
What I actually do
I practice as a licensed massage therapist with a master's in Integrative Health Care Sciences from the American College of Healthcare Sciences. Twenty plus years as an LMT, with ongoing doctoral work and ACHS research. Sessions can stay purely structural, or move into integrative work when that is what your system is asking for.
I also hold SRP Pastoral Counseling, 9-Self platform practice, and ceremony planning and officiation on the Events Path. The common thread is accurate observation held in a steady room.
