Meet Daniela Hess

Daniela Hess is the Midlife Mentor behind this site, a functional wellness consultant, spiritual mentor, and Co-Founder of Great Energy, the school she leads with her husband, Christopher Grant.

She holds a Master of Science in Health Education, is a Registered Yoga Teacher, a Yoga and Qigong Teacher Trainer, a trained Ayurvedic practitioner, and a certified grief coach. She lives with Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism herself, so the hormone and thyroid shifts of Midlife are not theory to her. They are ground she has walked. That same lived experience led her to create the Autoimmune Recovery Method, her program for women navigating autoimmune and thyroid conditions.

Perimenopause, menopause, and the years beyond are not a problem to fix. They are an initiation, the second great threshold after adolescence. It brings physical changes, emotional reckonings, and shifts in identity, relationships, energy, and purpose. Most women have been profoundly under-educated about what is actually happening in their bodies, minds, emotions, and sense of self during this passage. Daniela's role is to walk beside you through the science and the Soul of it, with clarity, steadiness, and deep respect for what you have already lived.
