1 on 1 Work with Daniela

If you’re ready for real support – practical, honest, and deeply human – you’ve found the right guide.

I am a Midlife Mentor.

I work with women across many ages and life stages, and a central specialty of my work is guiding women between 38 and 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 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, 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 initiatory passage - with clarity, steadiness, and deep respect for your lived experience.

My work integrates practical education and embodied wisdom across all 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), 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.

Below you’ll find the different ways I work with women and others across life stages. While people come to this work at many ages and for many reasons, midlife is a place where my experience, education, and lived understanding converge most powerfully. It is an honor to serve as a guide during this threshold - and to remind women that this season is not an ending, but a profound return to self.

One-on-One Spiritual Mentorship for Women

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

🗣 "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 Daniela 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, or inherited patterns.

This work meets the whole woman across multiple dimensions:

• Physical, Emotional, Mental, Energetic, Spiritual

Together, you explore what is happening at each layer and how they influence one another. Daniela brings tools from Qigong, somatic awareness, meditative inquiry, and the Keys for Inspired Living™ - a system of clarity and daily steadiness she developed and has taught for many years.

The 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.

Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) Guidance & Personalized Healing

If you’re navigating autoimmune issues, chronic inflammation, or mystery symptoms that just won’t resolve…

If you’ve been told your labs are “normal” but you know something isn’t right…

The Autoimmune Protocol is a powerful, research-based framework designed to lower inflammation, heal the gut, calm the immune system, and guide you back to balance. It removes common triggers – not just food, but lifestyle stressors too – and brings the body back into a state where healing becomes possible.

What the science says:

  • In a 2017 clinical trial, 73% of people with IBD went into clinical remission after just 6 weeks on AIP

  • Millions of people are navigating autoimmune or inflammatory conditions – many without a clear diagnosis

  •  Over 70% of adults in midlife are dealing with gut dysfunction, fatigue, food sensitivities, or chronic inflammation, whether they know it or not

As a certified AIP coach, I walk beside you through every step of the process:

  • Elimination Phase – We simplify and customize the transition into AIP with a focus on nourishment, not restriction

  • Reintroduction Phase – You’ll learn how to track symptoms and safely reintroduce foods with clarity and confidence

  • Stabilization & Lifestyle Support – We build long-term strategies around stress, sleep, movement, boundaries, and joy

This is not just a food plan. It’s a full-picture approach rooted in partnership, presence, and progress.

You’ll 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.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

“Daniela 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.”

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 didn’t know I was dealing with leaky gut, nutrient deficiencies, and systemic inflammation that went undiagnosed for far too long.

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’m now living a vibrant, resilient, deeply nourished life. I never could have done it without the right guides walking with me.

There’s a science and a soul to every healing journey. Both matter. Both deserve reverence.

And it’s my great joy to help women in midlife reclaim their vibrancy and aliveness.

🙋🏻‍♀️ A Personal Story

Two women with glasses and gray hair in a wooden room, praying with their hands together, one smiling and the other looking down with a calm expression.

Grief coaching with Daniela is grounded in her decades-long study of thanatology - the scientific and contemplative study of death, loss, and change. Having navigated significant personal losses early in life, Daniela sought a path of understanding that honored both the science and the soul of grief.

Her approach views 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.

Daniela works 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, you explore the emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions of loss - allowing grief to move, soften, and integrate rather than calcify or overwhelm.

Her 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

Daniela’s well-known teachings on grief and death - including her “Death Talks” quote and many workshops on mortality, impermanence, and conscious living - have supported thousands.

Working with her privately allows these teachings to meet your life directly.

🗣 "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)

Daniela loves working with Gen Z women because it offers the opportunity to course-correct early - before major life decisions are solidified and before patterns of self-abandonment take root.

She often says:

“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 don’t 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.

🗣 "Daniela has woven into my consciousness, these precious words that I savor. I would recommend this to anyone who is seeking Soul healing.” ~ Samantha G

Relationship Guidance (Individuals & Couples)

Daniela works with individuals navigating relationship challenges, confusion, conflict, or transition. The 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

  • What requires boundaries

  • Where clarity leads

Daniela brings a relational steadiness that helps people see patterns clearly, choose consciously, and shift dynamics with intention rather than impulse.

Her 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

Daniela offers end-of-life services with profound respect for the sacredness of transition.
