Lost in the Astral is in Newport, Oregon, run by Scott and Kacie Hinojosa. Three paths: Personal (licensed massage, spiritual and philosophical counseling, coaching, ritual work, divination), Business (turnarounds and inside-the-work help), and Events (ceremonies and gatherings). Booking starts with Book a Session in the navigation or on any page; it opens our scheduling tool.
What exactly do you do?
Three paths. The Personal Path is licensed massage with Kacie, spiritual and philosophical counseling (SRP), 9-Self coaching, ritual work, and divination. The Business Path is hands-on help for businesses that are failing or broken—we show up inside the work, not with a stack of slides. The Events Path is ceremonies (weddings, baptisms, burials, handfastings) and gatherings (fundraisers, spiritual nights, Renaissance fair work). Everything starts with our deep first visit so we are not guessing about your real situation.
What is the Very Deep Assessment?
It is our first, thorough intake—our deep first visit. Before we work with anyone, we need your real situation, not only the story you have been telling yourself. That visit names what keeps happening, what you are not seeing, and where you are stuck. It is direct and sometimes uncomfortable on purpose.
What is your philosophy?
We are omnist—respect for many sincere paths without being boxed into one label. We care about plain seeing and results you can feel, not dogma, inherited belief, or one-size-fits-all programs. We work next to licensed clinical and medical professionals, never instead of them. No recycled self-help. No pretending we have answers we have not lived or tested.
Is this clinical or medical?
No. 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 support, never replace, professional care. If you are in crisis, contact a licensed provider or call the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
How do I book?
Use the Book a Session button on any page. It opens our scheduling page where you pick a service and a time. If you already work with us, use Client Portal to sign in and handle your appointments.
Where is Lost in the Astral located?
We are based in Newport, Oregon, USA. Scott and Kacie Hinojosa run the practice from there. Use Contact or Book a Session on this site to reach us.
What are the three paths?
The Personal Path (individual work—licensed massage, spiritual and philosophical counseling, 9-Self coaching, ritual work, and divination), The Business Path (hands-on help inside failing or stuck businesses), and The Events Path (ceremonies like weddings and handfastings, plus gatherings and community events). Each path has its own page in the main navigation.
How do I find your Google listing or leave a review?
Use the Connect page on this site—it lists our official Google Business Profile link (maps and public reviews) alongside our other public pages. That way you are on the real listing, not an unofficial copy.
What if I am not in Newport?
Say where you are when you use Contact or Book a Session. We will tell you plainly whether what you need fits how we work—without promising something that is not real for your situation.
I finished booking and saw a thank-you page on this site. Is that normal?
Yes. If the scheduling tool sends you to our thank-you page after you confirm a time, the booking went through. If you opened that page by mistake, use Home or Contact from the buttons there. To change or cancel, use the link in your confirmation email or reach us through Contact.
What are the short quotes in the Voices section?
They are plain-language summaries of the kinds of things clients tell us—not paid endorsements, and not named reviews unless we say otherwise in writing. We keep them general on purpose. If you have something you want attributed with your name and permission, we can talk about that through Contact.
What should I expect?
Honesty. The first session is that deep visit—we listen, we watch, and we tell you what we see. Most appointments run 60 to 90 minutes depending on the service. Change depends on your follow-through. We give you a clear path and an honest mirror. You do the work.
Who is this for?
People who have tried a lot and are ready for something that actually lands. Individuals who want clarity more than comfort. Business owners who need the business fixed, not a prettier slide deck. Anyone willing to look at what others dodge. If you want someone to only nod and agree, we are not the right fit.
What makes you different?
Kacie brings doctorate-level study at IHS (holistic work), nationally recognized massage, and years in the body and the inner life—including Jungian psychology and the harder edges of human behavior. Scott brings mentalist craft and uncommon clarity about how people think and repeat themselves. Clear-eyed care and serious mystical depth in one place. We do not guess; we look until it is plain, then we build the work from there. Most people pick one lane. We work both, and that is why people find us after everything else has failed.
