The Science & Soul of Conscious, Healthy, and Inspired Living
If youโre ready for real support โ practical, honest, and deeply human โ youโve found the right guide.
If you are ready for real support, practical, honest, and deeply human, you have found the right guide.
I am an Autoimmune Educator and Coach, a Functional Wellness Consultant, a Yoga and Qigong Teacher Trainer, a Spiritual Mentor, and a trained Ayurvedic practitioner. I hold a Master's in Health Education, I am the founder of the Autoimmune Recovery Method, the Perimenopause Recovery Method, and the Midlife Radiance Course, and I co-founded the school Great Energy with my husband, Christopher.
I work with women across many ages and life stages. Above all, I am a Midlife Mentor, and the heart of my work is guiding women between 35 and 60 through one of the most profound and least-supported transitions of a woman's life. This season, spanning Perimenopause, menopause, and the years beyond, is not a problem to fix. It is an initiation. And most women have been profoundly under-educated about what is actually happening in their bodies, minds, emotions, and sense of self during this time.
Midlife is the second great threshold after adolescence. It brings physical changes, emotional reckonings, and shifts in identity, relationships, energy, purpose, and priorities. It often arrives alongside grief, health challenges, fatigue, or a quiet inner knowing that the old ways no longer work. My role is to walk beside you through the science and the Soul of this passage, with clarity, steadiness, and deep respect for your lived experience.
My work integrates practical education and embodied wisdom across all 5 layers of a woman's system: the Physical (what is changing, and what you need to understand), the Mental (beliefs, patterns, and clarity), the Emotional (nervous system regulation, grief, and self-trust), the Energetic (your life force and how much you actually have to give), and the Spiritual (meaning, identity, and coming home to yourself). I guide this work in grounded, wide-ranging, and deeply humane ways, without urgency, bypassing, or pressure, so real change can take root and hold.
If you found me through the Midlife work, the free guide, or a workshop, welcome. What you see there is the beginning. This is where we go deep, together, and at your pace.
Below you will find the different ways I work with women and others across life stages. People come to this work at many ages and for many reasons, and Midlife is where my experience, education, and lived understanding converge most powerfully. It is an honor to serve as a guide through this threshold, and to remind women that this season is not an ending.
It is a profound return to Self.

Autoimmune Coaching, Functional Wellness, and the Recovery Methods
If you are navigating autoimmune issues, chronic inflammation, thyroid trouble, or mystery symptoms that just will not resolve...
If you have been told your labs are 'normal' but you know something is not right...
You are exactly who I do this work for.
So many women with autoimmune are told by an endocrinologist or a rheumatologist, 'Your TPO antibodies are 350, there is really not much we can do, you will just have to learn to manage life with the flares.' I am here to tell you that is not the whole truth. There is so much you can do, and that is the entire foundation of my coursework and my one-on-one work.
Here is what changed everything, for me and for the women I serve. It takes 3 things for an autoimmune condition to develop:
A genetic predisposition, the one piece you did not choose and cannot change.
Intestinal permeability, often called 'leaky gut.'
A trigger, which can be a virus, a major stressor, a toxic exposure, or chronic stress.
You cannot change number 1. But numbers 2 and 3 are deeply within your influence, and they are what switch that genetic predisposition on, or quiet it back down. Your genes are not a sentence. They are closer to a dimmer switch.
This is why you truly have a choice with autoimmune. There is the path of NonAction, where the condition is only managed and the flares keep coming. And there is the path toward Remission, where you work with the root causes and move your autoimmune toward recovery and a vibrant life. I walk women down that second path.
And the stakes are real. About a third of people with one autoimmune condition go on to develop another. Researchers call it polyautoimmunity, developing a second autoimmune condition. Meanwhile, 1 in 4 women is put on an antidepressant or another medication without anyone ever looking closely at her sex hormones, a full thyroid panel, or her ferritin through optimal ranges. Women are suffering through Midlife, and they do not need to be.
I am so passionate about the possibility of Remission that I built 3 programs to carry this work to more women than I could ever reach one-on-one:
The Autoimmune Recovery Method, my signature work for moving an autoimmune condition toward Remission, offered as ARM Foundations (a 6-week program) and the ARM 6-Month Intensive.
The Perimenopause Recovery Method, for the hormonal unraveling of Perimenopause that so often surfaces thyroid issues and autoimmune flares.
The Midlife Radiance Course, for the whole Midlife passage, body, mind, emotions, energy, and Spirit.
Both ARM Foundations and the ARM 6-Month Intensive are built on the 6 Keys of Action:
Community & Foundations. Orientation and knowledge. Connecting with others so you are never isolated, understanding what actually causes autoimmune (the 3 factors), normal versus optimal ranges, and your own makeup through the Enneagram and Ayurveda.
Gut & Nourishment. A 90-day AIP elimination we do together, blood sugar, the gut terrain, the gut microbiome, and stomach acid.
Love & Healthy Relationships. Family, parents, intimate love, friendship, your social network, and your relationship with yourself.
Environment & Rhythms. Sleep, movement, toxins, mold, your home environment, daily rhythms, time management, exercise, and a full month of Qigong.
Calm & Resilience. Stress, trauma, the nervous system, emotional health, and meditation.
Purpose & Aliveness. Meaning, creativity, joy, fun, long-term healing, your career and occupation, and conscious, inspired, Soul-led living, including religion and spirituality.At the center of the healing work is the Autoimmune Protocol, a research-based framework designed to lower inflammation, heal the gut, calm the immune system, and guide the body back to balance.
It removes common triggers, not just foods but lifestyle stressors too, and brings the body back to a state where healing becomes possible.
What the science says:
In a 2017 pilot study of 15 people with IBD, 11 of them (73%) reached clinical remission by week 6 on the Autoimmune Protocol.
Millions of people are navigating autoimmune or inflammatory conditions, many without a clear diagnosis.
Many adults in Midlife are dealing with gut dysfunction, fatigue, food sensitivities, or chronic inflammation, whether they know it or not.
I am a certified Autoimmune Protocol coach, and I walk beside you through every step, both one-on-one and inside the Autoimmune Recovery Method, in ARM Foundations and the 6-Month Intensive:
Elimination Phase. We simplify and customize the transition with a focus on nourishment, not restriction.
Reintroduction Phase. You learn how to track symptoms and safely reintroduce foods with clarity and confidence.
Stabilization and Lifestyle Support. We build long-term strategies around stress, sleep, movement, boundaries, and joy.
This is not just a food plan. It is a full-picture approach rooted in partnership, presence, and progress.
You will receive:
Support in reviewing your existing lab work. I help you spot patterns and prepare questions for your practitioner.
Lifestyle coaching grounded in nervous system regulation and emotional well-being.
Mind-body practices like Qigong, breathwork, and somatic awareness.
Suggestions for supplements and functional labs to consider, if relevant.
All offered through a trauma-informed, Midlife-savvy, and deeply human lens.
A Personal Story
I currently live and thrive with Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism.
Years ago, I started noticing a lot more hair in my brush. I had been vegan for many years, and at the time I did not know I was dealing with leaky gut, nutrient deficiencies, and systemic inflammation that went undiagnosed for far too long.
And my story is not unusual. Research has found it takes an average of about 4 to 5 years, and several different doctors, before a woman receives an accurate autoimmune diagnosis. Then a few more years are often lost with practitioners who, through no fault of their own, never offer the one piece of education that changes everything: that there is a great deal we can do, that we can focus on the root causes of our autoimmune, and that we can move it toward Remission.
Once I found the right team in my corner, functional practitioners, lab testing, and a coach who helped me make sense of it all, everything changed.
Fast forward several years, and I am now living a vibrant, resilient, deeply nourished life. I never could have done it without the right guides walking with me.
There is a Science & a Soul to every healing journey. Both matter. Both deserve reverence. And it is my great joy to help women in Midlife reclaim their vibrancy and Aliveness.

โDaniela helped me move from overwhelmed and exhausted to clear and empowered. I had been stuck in the elimination phase for months. With her support, I found peace with food, energy in my day, and a deeper trust in my body again.โ
One-on-One Spiritual Mentorship for Women
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
๐ฃ "I just absolutely love how everything is finally coming together with the Keys. I am looking forward to every learning experience to come." ~ Ryan B
Spiritual mentorship with me is grounded in direct experience rather than ideology. It is a process of unlayering, remembering, and returning to the truth of who you are beneath conditioning, overwhelm, and inherited patterns.
This work meets the whole woman across all 5 dimensions: Physical, Emotional, Mental, Energetic, and Spiritual. Together we explore what is happening at each layer, and how they influence one another. I bring tools from Qigong, somatic awareness, meditative inquiry, and the Keys for Inspired Livingโข, a system of clarity and daily steadiness I developed and have taught for many years.
This mentorship is not bound to any religious denomination. It is rooted in presence, choice, compassion, and the cultivation of inner authority. Many women come to this work longing for depth, grounded guidance, and a place where nothing needs to be performed.
Mentorship sessions support you in:
Reconnecting with self-trust
Regulating the nervous system
Understanding emotional patterns
Listening to intuition with clarity
Disentangling from external pressure
Building sustainable daily practices
Living in alignment with your values
Women often describe feeling more themselves, calmer, clearer, and more rooted, after working together. It is a gentle yet deeply transformative space.

๐๐ปโโ๏ธ A Personal Story
My grief work is grounded in a decades-long study of thanatology, the scientific and contemplative study of death, loss, and change. Having navigated significant personal losses early in life, I sought a path of understanding that honored both the science and the Soul of grief.
I see grief as a healthy, natural, instinctive response to change, wanted or unwanted. Because life is impermanent, change is constant. And wherever there is change, there is grief.
I work one-on-one with people experiencing:
Death of loved ones
Illness and diagnosis
Divorce or relationship shifts
Identity transformation
Career transition or retirement
Loss of health, mobility, or familiarity
Spiritual or existential transitions
You are supported to meet grief with tenderness, steadiness, and the recognition that nothing is wrong with you. Together we explore the emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions of loss, allowing grief to move, soften, and integrate rather than calcify or overwhelm.
Clients consistently reflect that this work:
Normalizes what they feel
Helps them understand emotional waves
Creates space for expression without judgment
Supports nervous system safety
Offers tools for both acute and ongoing grief
Invites meaning, clarity, and inner peace
My teachings on grief and death, including the well-known Death Talks and many workshops on mortality, impermanence, and conscious living, have supported thousands.
Working with me privately allows these teachings to meet your life directly.

๐ฃ "Learning and being guided through this time by Daniela has been a huge, emotional journey, and it has been life changing, transforming for me. " ~ Samantha G
Mentorship for Gen Z Women (Spiritual & Life Guidance)
I love working with Gen Z women because it offers the chance to course-correct early, before major life decisions are solidified, and before patterns of self-abandonment take root.
I often say: by the time you reach 50, you realize how much of your life was shaped by conditioning, survival patterns, and misplaced responsibility. I became the woman I needed at 20, and now I offer that support to others so they do not lose decades finding their way.
This mentorship helps young women:
Decondition from cultural and familial scripting
Build self-trust and discernment
Navigate anxiety, overwhelm, and identity questions
Strengthen emotional intelligence
Understand boundaries and healthy relationships
Develop a grounded sense of self before major life commitments
Learn tools for emotional regulation and clarity
Explore purpose, values, and direction
The work is soul-level and practical at the same time. It gives young women a solid foundation before stepping into career paths, partnerships, motherhood, or the pressures of adulthood. Many describe the process as life-changing, because it gives them something few women receive early in life: a wise companion who supports clarity instead of compliance.

๐ฃ "Daniela has woven into my consciousness, these precious words that I savor. I would recommend this to anyone who is seeking Soul healing.โ ~ Katie R
Relationship Guidance (Individuals & Couples)
I work with individuals navigating relationship challenges, confusion, conflict, or transition. This work is not therapy. It is education, clarity work, and grounded spiritual guidance.
Clients come for support with:
Communication patterns
Boundaries and self-abandonment
Repetitive conflicts
Emotional reactivity
Intimacy and connection
Partnership uncertainty
Conscious uncoupling
Repair after rupture
Relationship to self
The process helps you understand what is yours, what is not yours, what needs to change, what can be accepted, where boundaries are needed, and where clarity leads.
I bring a relational steadiness that helps people see patterns clearly, choose consciously, and shift dynamics with intention rather than impulse. This work is especially helpful for those who want to approach relationships with maturity, emotional intelligence, and grounded presence, not performance or self-sacrifice.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
๐ฃ โHaving Daniela as a coach is like if you downloaded all the best-known modern teachers into one human being, who is then wholly, remarkably devoted to using her wisdom, and experience to help you on your journey of healing, growth, finding happiness and professional success.โ ~ Jamie K
Additional Services
Workshops & Keynotes
I offer teachings on conscious living, emotional intelligence, spiritual practice, nervous system education, grief and death awareness, Midlife vitality, embodied leadership, and boundaries and clarity. My delivery is warm, grounded, and accessible, blending depth with practicality.
Wedding Ceremonies
I officiate weddings for individuals, couples, and families who want a ceremony filled with meaning, reverence, and authenticity. Many couples choose me because traditional pathways do not fully reflect their values or spiritual orientation. I weave presence, blessing, clarity, and depth into ceremonies that honor each couple's unique story. The tone is warm, grounded, and celebratory without being performative. Clients often say my presence brings calm, beauty, and grounded joy to the entire ceremony.

End-of-Life Ceremonies
I offer end-of-life services with profound respect for the sacredness of transition. My grounding in grief education and thanatology, combined with decades of spiritual practice, allows me to hold families with steadiness and compassion. These ceremonies honor the life lived, the relationships formed, the grief being carried, and the transition unfolding. I bring a rare combination of reverence, clarity, and emotional presence to one of life's most fragile thresholds.
Beyond this one-on-one work, I lead free monthly gatherings, Sacred Sunday and Community Sunday, live online and open to people from around the world. They are a place to feel cared for, uplifted, and genuinely supported on the path of Conscious, Healthy, and Inspired Living. You are warmly invited, whether or not we ever work together privately.
