WOMB HEALING

Through my work in ceremony, I have received clear visions and teachings around the depth of ancestral energy and memory that can be carried through the womb. The umbilical passageway is a bridge of memory for all humans and all genders—an inherent part of our genetic, somatic, and energetic makeup. It was through these teachings that I embarked on my own long journey of womb healing and restoration.

༄

PROCEDURE

Through years of exploring different modalities, medicines, and dietas to restore and reconnect with my sacral center—including sobada (womb massage), yoni steaming, Peruvian and Indigenous medicines, herbalism, and fascia studies—I have gathered a body of knowledge and a collection of tools that I now share with others.

The path of womb healing is lifelong, taking many forms through the ebbs and flows of womanhood. One aspect of my offering is to support others in releasing, clearing, restoring, reawakening, and realigning with their sacred womb spaces and the wisdom held within them.

I work with ceremonial medicines alongside abdominal spiral sobada/womb massage to create a pathway for this process. The sobada works directly with the womb and surrounding abdominal area through intentional massage, lymphatic stimulation, moxa, energy work, and tobacco sopla. This nurturing practice awakens and warms the physical and energetic body, creating space for the gradual release of ancestral patterns, emotional accumulation, painful cycles, cycle irregularities, and other experiences that may impact one’s relationship with the womb and body.

Sobada can also serve as a meaningful part of the integration process when working with ceremonial medicine, helping to bring awareness and presence back into the physical body.

Over time, I have witnessed women experience profound shifts in their relationship with their wombs, their bodies, and themselves. Alongside the wisdom that can emerge through medicine and embodied practice, this work can illuminate where life is asking for greater alignment—through nourishment and diet, intimate relationships, work and living environments, and, most importantly, the relationship one holds with their own womb.

Ultimately, the relationship with the womb is a relationship with oneself: a process of remembering, listening, restoring, and reclaiming the sacred connection between body, spirit, ancestry, and life.

ABOUT DANIELA RIOJAS

༄

Daniela Riojas is an initiated curandera, educator, medicine keeper, musician, and artist originally from the border of Texas and Mexico, currently based in Topanga, CA. 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.
