Hi, I’m Didi.
Hi, I’m Didi — a former CFO, a founder, and a woman who has rebuilt herself more than once.
Over the years, I’ve worn many hats: psychologist, finance leader, mother, founder, educator, entrepreneur, and most recently — author. I’ve lived in boardrooms and playrooms, spreadsheets and soul work. I’ve started companies, closed them. I’ve guided hundreds of people through parenting, self-awareness, and life transitions. I’ve raised a child while raising myself. I’ve held both clarity and confusion, and I learned, over and over again, how to return to my own truth.
And more than any title, what truly defines my work is this:
I help people remember who they are — and reclaim the power they have to create from a place of wholeness.
I help them awaken to the life they’re meant to live — intentional, and deeply connected to their inner wisdom.
Everything changed after the birth of my son, Mika.
I stepped away from the fast-paced world of finance to build a more intentional life, as a conscious parent, a more present human, and a woman redefining success on her own terms.
Since then, I’ve created and led several conscious ventures:
A baby feeding course on Introducing Solids with baby-led weaning
A YouTube channel on conscious parenting with 14K+ subscribers
A thriving Montessori school in London My Montessori School
A reflective and thought provoking book: ‘100 Days to a More Aware You’
A growing platform: Aurelia Collective — devoted to curated connection, self-inquiry, and conscious growth
An upcoming online course on Montessori Foundations for Conscious Parenting
And most recently, a signature keynote, Why Not Me?, for founders, creators, and conscious companies ready to lead from truth, not pressure
My work today bridges the analytical and the intuitive, the strategic and the soulful.
Whether I’m leading a founder circle, speaking, writing, teaching or guiding a group into presence , my purpose is always the same:
To help people reconnect to their inner wisdom, expand their self-awareness, and build lives aligned with who they truly are.
