ABOUT DANIELA RIOJAS

Daniela Riojas is a curandera, educator, medicine keeper, musician, and artist originally from the frontera of Tejas y Mexico, currently based in Los Angeles, CA, traveling internationally. 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 Master Plant dietas 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 Camara Ampi Shirapa). 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 Shipibo, Ashaninka, and Nahuatl icaro and medicine as well. 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. She also utilizes tobacco extensively 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. Intikhana Medicina specializes in providing containers of integrity and safety for comprehensive ceremonial healing.
