You do not have to carry this alone.
If you are ready for real support, practical, honest, and deeply human, you have found the right guide. I work with women across many stages of life, and the heart of my work is guiding women ~35 to 65+ 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 an initiation. It brings physical changes, emotional reckonings, shifts in identity, relationships, energy, 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 every layer of a woman's system: the physical, the mental, the emotional, the energetic, and the spiritual. I guide this work without urgency, bypassing, or pressure, so real change can take root and hold.
Ways to work with me
Personal offerings
One-on-One Spiritual Mentorship
Grounded in direct experience rather than ideology, this work meets the whole woman across the physical, emotional, mental, energetic, and spiritual dimensions. I bring tools from Qigong, somatic awareness, meditative inquiry, and the Keys for Inspired Living, a system of clarity and daily steadiness I developed and have taught for many years. Sessions support reconnecting with self-trust, regulating the nervous system, understanding emotional patterns, and building sustainable daily practices.
'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.
Functional Wellness & Autoimmune Protocol Guidance
Your symptoms are the starting point, not your labs. If you are dealing with hormone shifts, thyroid concerns, chronic inflammation, or symptoms that will not resolve, and you have been told your labs are 'normal' but know something is not right, you are exactly who this work is for. Most clients think their labs are complete. Many are not; a prescription can get written without anyone ever checking your ferritin, your full thyroid panel, your sex hormones, or your cortisol.
I walk beside you through reviewing your existing lab work, or if you do not have complete labs yet, through exactly what to ask your doctor for and how to read it through optimal ranges, so you get real answers. Because Midlife rarely shows up in just one place, we look at the fuller picture together: your hormones, your thyroid, your adrenals, and your gut, along with lifestyle coaching grounded in nervous system regulation, and mind-body practices like Qigong and breathwork. If you send me labs or history beforehand, I read all of it before we meet, so our time together is not spent catching up.
My own story included an impaired thyroid, adrenal fatigue, a leaky gut, and sex hormones that had gone nearly silent. I live with Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism, and I bring that lived understanding into every session.
Beyond one-on-one sessions, this work continues inside the Autoimmune Recovery Method, the program I created for women with Autoimmune and thyroid conditions. It holds the AIP protocol and a group community walking the path together. For some clients, that 90-day AIP protocol is also part of our 1-on-1 work.
The Autoimmune Recovery Method offers a few ways in: ARM Foundations, a self-paced course in the AIP protocol, and the ARM Retreats, in-person gatherings for this same work.
'She helped me move from feeling overwhelmed and reactive to feeling grounded, informed, and capable of navigating my health with greater confidence and self-trust.' Raina E.
Grief Coaching & Death Education
Grounded in my decades-long study of thanatology, this work meets grief as a healthy, natural, instinctive response to change. I work one-on-one with people experiencing the death of loved ones, illness and diagnosis, divorce or relationship shifts, identity transformation, and other losses, supporting you to meet grief with tenderness and steadiness.
'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.

Getting started
Tell me where you are
Fill in what is relevant, and leave blank what does not apply. If you have labs, tell me. If you do not, tell me that too. Either way, this is where we begin.
Every 1-on-1 session is $250 for 60 to 90 minutes together, plus my review of anything you send beforehand. Please send this only if that feels right for you, so my time stays held for the women who are ready to begin.
Thank you. This is on its way to me.
I read every one of these myself. I will text you to confirm I have it and to find a time that works, labs or no labs. You do not have to keep piecing this together alone.

FAQ
Questions about working with me
How much does a one-on-one session with Daniela Hess cost, and what does it include?
A one-on-one session is $250 for 60 to 90 minutes together, plus my review of anything you send beforehand. If you have labs, we read them together through optimal ranges. If you do not, we go through exactly what to ask your doctor for.
How do I request a session?
Fill in the request form on this page and tell me where you are. Leave blank what does not apply. I read every request myself, and I will text you to confirm I have it and to find a time. I need your phone number, because I text and do not call.
Can you review labs I already have?
Yes. I walk beside you through reviewing your existing lab work. You do not need labs to begin. If you do not have complete labs yet, we go through what to ask for and how to read the results. Labs often miss free T3, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies when your doctor orders only TSH.

Please talk with your own licensed healthcare provider before you change medication, labs, or your health plan.

You can request Spiritual Mentorship, Functional Wellness and Autoimmune Protocol Guidance, Grief Coaching, or Relationship Guidance. I also offer mentorship for Gen Z women and wedding ceremonies.
What is the Autoimmune Recovery Method, and is it part of one-on-one work?
The Autoimmune Recovery Method is the program I created for women with autoimmune and thyroid conditions. It holds the 90-day Autoimmune Protocol (AIP). ARM Foundations is a self-paced course in AIP, and the ARM Retreats are in-person gatherings. For some clients, the 90-day AIP protocol is also part of our one-on-one work.
