Practitioner
Kacie Hinojosa
Co-steward of Lost in the Astral. Where the body meets the inner life — read together, not in pieces.
What she actually does
Kacie is a certified researcher, a doctoral candidate in Integrative Healthcare Sciences at the American College of Healthcare Sciences (ACHS), and an award-winning sports and structural massage therapist. At the Open Massage Championship (Oregon) she took gold in Wellness Massage, bronze in Sports Massage, and bronze Overall. She holds a BA in Health and Wellness and has deep study in how mind and feeling move together, plus serious academic work in herbalism. Her practice sits where the body meets the inner life, with long study in depth psychology and the harder edges of human behavior — shadow, manipulation, and what people hide from themselves.
Her path was not assembled out of fashionable modalities. She started with rigorous body science — anatomy, structure, the actual mechanics of how tension stores and releases — then moved into the harder questions about why the body keeps holding what it holds. The Integrative Healthcare Sciences doctoral work at ACHS, the depth-psychology study, and her years of comparative cultural and esoteric scholarship all fold back into the same practice.
She does not just treat symptoms. She reads what the body keeps doing and ties it to what is moving underneath in your mind and feelings. When you step onto her table or into her session, you can begin to notice how precision replaces guesswork.
What she carries
Practitioner and doctoral candidate in Integrative Healthcare Sciences at ACHS. Award-winning licensed sports and structural massage. 20+ years of personal comparative cultural and spiritual study — broad across many sincere paths, no single tradition central — plus herbalism, somatic-emotional integration, and depth-psychology study. All folded into the same practice, not held in separate silos.
30+ years between rigorous body science, doctoral-level holistic studies, and sustained omnist scholarship. What she has learned, she carries with care; what is outside her scope to read, she points toward who can.
Credentials: BA, Health and Wellness · Doctoral candidate, Integrative Healthcare Sciences (ACHS) · Licensed Oregon massage therapist · Open Massage Championship (Oregon) — Gold, Wellness Massage; Bronze, Sports Massage; Bronze, Overall.
Practitioner's note
The body is not separate from what the rest of you is going through. When I read a body, I am reading the whole life that has been arriving in it — and I am willing to say so out loud.
