Co-Founder, Spiritual Director & Lead Educator
The Science & Soul of Conscious, Healthy, and Inspired Living
Daniela Hess is the Co-Founder, Spiritual Mentor, and Lead Educator of Great Energy, the school she leads with her partner in life and in business, Christopher Grant. Great Energy is a modern educational home for Conscious, Healthy, and Inspired Living: healing, embodied practice, and the integration of body, heart, mind, and daily life.
She is an Autoimmune Educator and Coach, a Functional Wellness Consultant, a Yoga and Qigong Teacher Trainer, a Spiritual Mentor, and a trained Ayurvedic practitioner. She is the founder of the Autoimmune Recovery Method, the Perimenopause Recovery Method, and the Midlife Radiance Course.
For over 2 decades, Daniela has guided thousands of students worldwide through practices and teachings that integrate healing for the body, heart, and mind. Her work brings spiritual practice into daily life with steadiness, simplicity, and care.
In recent years, the heart of her work has turned toward women in Midlife. She guides them through Perimenopause, thyroid and autoimmune challenges, and the whole passage from cell to Soul to Spirit, with the same steadiness she brings to everything she teaches.
Daniela's approach is grounded in a few clear commitments:
No urgency
No bypassing
Choice always
She prioritizes direct experience over ideology, and integration over insight alone. Her work centers nervous system safety, lived Wisdom, and change that unfolds steadily and holds.

Women navigating autoimmune, thyroid, and chronic inflammation
