Our Story
About Aurelia
For many years, my life moved at a relentless pace. Leading in executive boardrooms while navigating the beautiful, demanding rhythm of motherhood and womanhood meant my days were defined by high-stakes decision-making and constant motion. In the midst of all that, I felt a deep longing for grounding; a daily ritual to quiet the external noise, restore balance, and breathe intentional calm into my home.
In 2016, I discovered that sanctuary in the sculptural elegance of orchids and botany as a whole - architectural, enduring, and timeless. They delivered that unmistakable, breathtaking moment of pause every time I walked into the room, adorning my space beautifully in all seasons. They became a daily sensory reminder to slow down, appreciate the beauty of nature, breathe, and live with intention. Witnessing these botanical wonders flourish and re-bloom perpetually after dormant periods brought an enduring sense of renewal and wonder.
Having honed my craft over the last decade, I founded Aurelia Botanicals to share that transformative feeling, bridging the worlds of nature and intentional living through botanical art. It is a privilege to live in my purpose and combine my gifts across two complementary worlds:
Bespoke Living Art: Curating specimen-grade orchid arrangements set in handcrafted ceramic and metallic vessels. We design and create enduring, sculptural centerpieces for luxury residences, boutique hotels, executive interiors, and gifting.
Keynotes & Wellbeing Experiences: Drawing on my background as a C-suite leader, speaker, and non-executive director, I deliver inspiring wellbeing keynotes paired with hands-on plant styling. I use botanical cultivation as a practical model for leadership, team resilience, and mental well-being - partnering with organisations as they prioritise the growth and wellbeing of their people.
