Hey there! My name is Kenia Goicochea Xochiketzalli and I am a Mexican Curandera Healer and Reiki Practitioner. While Curanderismo is practiced throughout Mexico and Central and South America, my healing practice is rooted in the Mexica healing lineages of Mexico. Curanderismo is a luminous weaving of healing wisdom, and I am very honored to keep this tradition of my ancestors alive.

Conceived in Mexico and born in California, I have always felt immense gratitude for the gift of being a bridge between two cultural worlds. Born and raised in the sierras of Mexico where doctors were rare, my mother, just like her mother - and her mother’s mother, relied on plant life to survive illness and disease, to heal emotional hurts, and to connect with spirit. From a young age, I have been fascinated by the healing powers of “limpias” and plant medicines from Mexico.

Years later, I started my Curandera apprenticeship with Abuela Teresa Rivas Chicahuaxochitl in Mexico, and have since then been committed to this path. My Abuela has taught me that we never think of curing anyone because we are not the healers. The essences that give us life are the healers, and all we are doing is becoming a clear channel for this divine, healing light energy to reach others. My deepest calling through this work is to honor and preserve my ancestral knowledge and traditions, to continue to express my deepest reverence to the essences that give us life, and to aid others in their healing and self-discovery.
