ABOUT ORION

Who I am

“Orion is a wizard in work boots — part mystic, part movement mentor, part masculine myth-breaker. He moves through the world attuned to its hidden rhythms, speaking a language of deep presence, somatic wisdom, and hard-won truth. He doesn’t just believe in transformation — he lives it, boots on the ground, hands in the dirt, heart steady and wide open, inviting others into the real work of co-regulation and healing.

Orion is the kind of person who questions hierarchies, not to flip the pyramid, but to compost it. He carries the torch for trans men’s wholeness, illuminating exiled parts of masculinity with tenderness and fire. His magic isn’t just metaphor — it’s a quiet revolution. Noticing. Choosing. Showing up messy and being loved anyway.”

My Path

I live in Los Angeles, California with my sweetest cat Mallow, in this beautiful city of eternal sunshine. My work as a healing companion is rooted in my lived and embodied experience of recovery, complex trauma, and Lyme disease. It’s shaped by the land I’ve farmed, the water I bathe in, and the teachers who’ve mentored me.

I hold an MA in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles (2021). I trained as a therapist and then chose a different path. The limitations of the mental health system — its disconnection, its alignment with harmful institutions, and its emphasis on "blank slate" professionalism — made me hungry for something more real, more relational, and more embodied.

That hunger led me to healing companionship, peer support, soul archeologists, plant medicine workers, energy readers, tarot readers, artists, and somatic facilitators. These are the people who met me in my mess and helped me reclaim my aliveness. Their impact continues to shape how I show up in my own work today.

This is a path shaped by grit, grief, and grace. This work comes not from theory, but from years of falling down and learning how to rise again.

After 1.5 years in a wheelchair, I am learning to walk again — slowly, gently, and with new intimacy with my body. That process has changed everything.

How I Work

I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to walk beside you — steady, present, and real. You lead. I attune.

This work is relational, somatic, and intuitive. I bring a toolbox that includes:

  • Movement and stillness

  • Boundaries and nervous system regulation

  • Energy work and spirit connection

  • Earth-honoring ritual and ancestral reverence

  • Nonviolent communication and honest reflection

We create a space together where you can listen more closely to what wants to move through you.

Imagine a soft, sandy riverbed for the river that is you. I move with you and am moved by you. You already know the way. I just walk with you while you remember.

Who This Is For

I’m especially called to support trans men on the path of reclaiming and loving masculinity as a source of wholeness rather than something broken or suspect.

I work with men of all kinds — trans, cis, straight, queer — who are longing to see themselves and their masculinity not as a problem to fix, but as a powerful source of resource, connection, and integrity. If you’re a man trying to love yourself deeper, stand taller, or walk through the world with more self-integrity — this work is for you.

I welcome all queer, straight, trans, non-binary, and cis folks of all gender flavors who feel drawn to this work. If you're carrying grief, disconnection, chronic illness, or a yearning to feel more like yourself — you're in the right place.

Invitation to Connect

Sometimes life asks you to slow down — to listen more closely to what’s happening beneath the surface. This is a place to notice what’s stirring in you, without judgment or hurry.

This work isn’t about fixing you. It’s about returning to yourself — through sensation, presence, and relationship. It's about learning to move through life with nervous system resilience, so you can stand tall, steady, and strong, even when obstacles come your way.

Show up messy. Show up uncertain. Just come with your hunger — and we’ll meet it together.
