Embark on a Transformative Journey of Shamanic Healing and Spiritual Empowerment
Welcome, I’m Ximena—known as Xaguar in ceremonial circles and Xhiva in my artistic path. I am a , Mother, Visionary Artist and dedicated to the Healing Path committed to inspire others on their journeys of healing, self-discovery, and empowerment.
For nearly three decades, my journey in the shamanic healing arts has been inspired by diverse traditions from my homeland, Bolivia, and enriched through direct learning with wisdom keepers from Aymara, Quechua, Shipibo, Lakota, and Buddhist traditions. Since 2008, I have received permissions to lead sweat lodges and have facilitated shamanic ceremonies, healing circles, and personalized rituals, offering individual and community experiences rooted in deep spiritual connection.
My path includes a personal “rite of passage”: in 2016, I survived a serious spinal injury that nearly left me quadriplegic. Through dedicated spiritual practices, I healed beyond expectations, reaffirming my commitment to shamanic healing and empowering others to find resilience and strength within themselves.
As a Visionary Artist and creator of immersive experiences, including DJ sets as Xhiva, I merge ancestral wisdom with modern expression. Each piece, event, and session is a journey into the sacred, designed to reconnect you to the depths of your spirit.

Testimonials
I would like to give you a feedback after the amazing session yesterday that you gave me...first I felt such a resonance with you and your personal story and it was clear to me that I would like to come to you for a ritual..I was impressed how you received the information about me already at distance before we met. It was so true and so useful to hear from you about the reason of my symptoms..I was amazed how perfectly you could choose the stones and crystals to work with me. I interacted with the energy of each stone on such a deep level. Immediately I felt so safe and supported. I could easily get into the transe like mode and even observe myself from above. I felt how strong my body reacted to each stone that you chose and put on my body. I felt your support and your space and that you were guiding me through different dimensions and this healing process. I could easily release strong emotions and could integrate the new state. I liked the way you were choosing the words as a guidance, I liked how you felt mesnd my processes, what was happening to me during the ritual. It was so beautiful and so deep and so releasing. I felt how powerful it was and that we reached the goal. I had not many expectations before the start, but the session was beyond any expectations or my imagination. Thank you for your presence and wisdom and your energy! It was fantastic. On the following day I felt that some symptoms disappeared. It was like a miracle. I definitely want to come for another session to see the progress and I tegarte the experience I had after the 1st session. Thank you for your wonderful job and service to the humanity

Am Dienstag habe ich zum ersten Mal eine Crystal Healing Session bei Ximena erlebt. Ich selber komme aus dem medizinischen Bereich und sehe die Welt eher wissenschaftlich und nüchtern.
Doch ich bin eines besseren belehrt worden .Ximena hat durch Ihre Präsens ,Energie ,Kraft und Erfahrung sofort eine Verbindung zu mir aufgebaut und meine Seele zum Vorschein gebracht.
Nicht einfach für mich ,doch Ximena nahm mich an die Hand .Mit Ihren Fähigkeiten und Hilfe werde ich meinen Weg weiter erforschen und kennenlernen . Ich freue mich schon auf die nächste Session .Es ist sehr spannend.

A Template for Healing
I have had the pleasure of experiencing several North American sweat lodge ceremonies, but none moved me as powerfully as Ximena's ceremony. Ximena wields an effortless power and grace that delves deeply into the soul. Drawing her power from deepest feminine energies of Pachemama, she honors the masculine and feminine in all of us with integrity, demonstrating in her being, unmistakable expressions of love, compassion, and purpose.. I am grateful to have had the chance to participate in a circle of such healing and authentic expression.

Ximena is radiant. She is power. She is courage, integrity, strength, mother, sister, love. I have had the huge honor and blessing to encounter Ximena on my journey last year in Peru. Before sharing ceremony space with her, I interacted with her a few times and always felt so warmed and energized by her presence, her nurturing, peaceful beingness. I then had the great honor to sit in three of her sweats. They were powerfully transformative and changed the very paradigm of the idea of ceremony for me. She created and danced with the energies at play in the heart of the mother, fiercely and lovingly pulsing, pushing each one of us to explore our hearts, dive into our depths, explore the deepest confines of our worlds, and emerge as singing, dancing, radiant forms. She is so honest and deeply attuned, and is one of the most hard-working people I’ve ever known. In her work, she conducts and guides groups of deeply processing brothers and sisters through our suffering, our confusion, our tears, our blockages, and into a space of clarity, a symphony, a creative, musical expression of family and divinity and strength. Ximena’s work opened many doors for me and I felt so seen by her, so nurtured and cared for. I emerged from her sweats with a stronger voice, a cleansed body, a happy heart, and with both feet gripping the earth in wild appreciation. I am SO grateful for her work and her guidance. She continues to inspire my growth each day. Thank you.

Gratitude
From the first time I met Ximena I realize that we have a great connection, She has such an easygoing appearance and integrity that you start to trust her straight away. She is very special and multitalented person.
A healer, a visionary artist, a mother and a great friend. I'm very grateful for that chance to meet her as she helped me to see myself from a different angle and much supported me when I was going through a huge inner work. So If your journey brings you to Ximena I highly recommend her as true and humble human being to connect, to trust, to share and to work with. May all be happy and free.

Awesome artist , mother & healer , Exceptional Human
Ximena is a beautiful person, who exteriorizes her inner beauty in her medicine songs, her medicine artwork, her mothering and her therapies. There is depth that results from a life intensely and exceptionally lived. Born in Bolivia, she was raised with the deep roots of a ancient and profound culture and connection to the land. Cannot recommend her more. You will be in good hands.
