Daniela Riojas is a curandera, educator, medicine keeper, musician, and artist originally from the border of Texas and Mexico, currently based in Tulum, MX. Her Indigenous ancestry is connected to The Coahuiltecans of northern Mexico. As a curandera, she communes with Mother Nature and a lexicon of plants, animals, and energies through ancestral practices of channeling and meditation. She has undergone extensive trainings and Amazonian Master Plant dietas of a wide variety of plants, trees (Palos Fuertes), and flowers with Indigenous elders who have initiated her into the sacred practice of facilitation and healing in ceremonial space.

She has been under the guidance of elders in Nayarit Mexico (Richie and Xochitl of Nawake Bucerias) as well as elders and curandero/as of the jungles of Peru who are Cocama - Gran Maestra Aime Vargas Davila, Shipibo - Maestra Bawan Kate, Ashaninka - Maestro Miguel Charini and Mestizo - Maestro Camarampi Shirampa. For years, Daniela has been traveling extensively throughout North and South America facilitating plant and animal medicines, and creating ceremonial healing spaces
for communities in diverse countries and lands.

Her facilitation consists of sharing traditional and directly received icaros through her diets with Master Plants, within the lineage of Cocama curanderismo. Within this practice is a weaving of Quechua and Spanish icaros, which carry the consciousness, resonance, and energy of the doctoring plant spirits from her Master Plant dietas.

Daniela’s voice carries a high vibration of divine love, joy, and nurturing Mother energy, while bridging the worlds of the Earth’s deep resonance. She calls on a wide spectrum of Earth’s cosmology and higher dimensional spaces, with the clear intention of maintaining a balance of strength,
groundedness, and elevation. A variety of instruments are utilized including, shakapa, crystal bowls alongside icaro, Native American flutes, clay ocarinas, and medicine songs with a team of trusted facilitators. She also utilizes tobacco in the form of sopla extensively, which she has studied with her teachers and a variety of specially prepared perfumes and agua floridas within ceremonial space.

Daniela Riojas is the founder of Intikhana Medicina, which provides ceremonial healing rooted in Indigenous and Earth-Based practices.
The mission at Intikhana is to provide gateways of health and well-being through Indigenous knowledge, plants, animals, music, frequencies, education, and connection to all of the medicine that this beautiful Mother Earth provides.
