Robin Rivera, known to many as Xōchi (pronounced So-chee), short for Xōchiquetzal, is a world-renowned trauma-informed spiritual thought leader, Reverend Priestess, and strategic business mentor devoted to the liberation of women’s gifts: spiritually, creatively, and financially.
Her work exists at a powerful intersection:
deep healing and real-world creation.
Robin guides women to reclaim their worth, embody their feminine power with integrity, and build ethical, well-resourced lives with businesses rooted in wisdom, creativity, and their soul purpose without abandoning their bodies’ wisdom, values, or humanity.
Her work exists to address a core imbalance in our world:
Women are often rewarded for the commodification of their bodies, yet profoundly undervalued for their wisdom, creativity, leadership, and care.Â
Robin’s mission is to help change that not just through ideology, but by building real pathways for women to be seen, supported, and well-resourced for the gifts they bring into the world.
Through her widely engaged digital programs, private done-with-you mentorship, ceremonial work, and public teaching, she supports coaches, healers, facilitators, and change-makers in translating the depth of their wisdom into structured offerings and their spirituality into sustainable impact + income.
Â
She does not separate spirituality from the material world.
She helps women heal & build lives & livelihoods that honor their soul's most authentic expression.
ROOTED IN LIVED TRUTH
Robin’s path has not been of the conventional variety...
A serious trauma survivor who transformed profound personal adversity into purpose, she has become an internationally respected voice in trauma-informed leadership, ethical spirituality, and conscious entrepreneurship. She has spoken on global stages, received over 38 awards for leadership and advocacy, and has been featured in Forbes, Inc., Entrepreneur, and other major publications.
She holds a Master’s degree in Consciousness & Transformative Studies and comes from a lineage of Mexican curanderas and mystical matriarchs who taught her that healing is meant to be embodied, relational, and real, and that women’s wisdom is meant to be shared, not silenced or hidden in shame.
As a self-made entrepreneur, Robin has generated 7-figures in digital education, mentorship, and retreat-based businesses demonstrating that women can be resourced, respected, and prosperous without betraying their values or nervous systems no matter what!
Robin’s work weaves ancient ceremonial wisdom with modern science and strategy. Her approach integrates trauma-informed facilitation, nervous system regulation, conscious business design, sacred ritual, and ethical leadership, creating pathways that are both spiritually reverent and materially grounded.
REINVESTING SUCCESS INTO LIBERATION
A portion of all proceeds & fundraising efforts supports scholarships and business grants for survivors of sex trafficking and women reclaiming their diverse giftedness who are involved in sex work.
THIS PROJECT IS CALLED "SELF CHOSEN"
which also serves as a leadership retreat & institute.
These funds provide access to education, mentorship, and infrastructure supporting women in building ethical, self-directed livelihoods rooted in dignity, choice, and creative power.
In addition, they get to attendÂ
This is not a charity.
It is redistribution, repair, and reinvestment.
THE MISSION
At the heart of this work is a simple, radical belief:
Women deserve to be safe, visible, and well-resourced... that their wisdom belongs in positions of power and influence.
Robin is building a multi-layered global ecosystem of healing, education, and mentorship devoted to raising the standard of transformation, leadership, and sacred space-holding while expanding access to wealth, platforms, and possibility for women worldwide.
If you’re here for grounded mysticism, ethical power, & bad ass feminine leadership that shows up raw & authentically...
welcome.
