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.”
“Stay Open” - Asking my friend Charlie to stink n poke these onto my knuckles years ago was a turning point, the beginning of my healing journey. A reminder I desperately needed to keep one foot in the door when the rest of me wanted to close.
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 chronic illness. 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 healers, 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.
If you want to read more about my personal journey, including how I recovered from complex trauma and EBV (originally diagnosed as Lyme disease and Rheumatoid arthritis), and learned to walk again, check out this article.
Making the unseen felt, and the felt seen by turning spiritual guidance into embodied action.
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 remain deeply rooted. You already know the way. I just walk with you while you remember.
Who This Is For
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.
Within this wider calling, I’m especially devoted to supporting trans men on the path of reclaiming and loving masculinity as a source of wholeness rather than something broken or suspect.
I love working 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.
The call of Judgment is simple: wake up, live. My work carries this same current — mirroring truth that awakens, even when it asks for courage. This mirroring invites us to rise into aliveness together, truth by truth
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.
Let’s talk. Book a free 30-minute connection call or reach out with questions. Let’s see if we belong on this walk together.
Mallow is one of my guides, showing me how to be soft, loving, and fully present. She teaches me to sense the subtle rhythms and everyday magic that surround us.
