The Brain Behind the Lotus

Amy Deiko Founder of The Lotus Cortex

''You don't need to be fixed,  you just need the opportunity to get to know yourself better''

I've lived with chaos as a shadow, and pain is so close to me that I'm used to calling it an old friend. 

Emotional burnout? 

More like an emotional hurricane 

So yes, you could say I had the motivation to study the science behind it. 

With a background in Public Health, a specialisation in the Science of Mind from the University of Cambridge, ongoing studies in Neuroscience and Psychology, and my own neurodivergent lens, I created the Lotus Cortex to guide women like you back to your most authentic self. 

It's not magic, it's not woo-woo bullshit 

It's science and soul 

And I'm here to walk that blended and messy path with you. 

The Lotus Lens 

After obsessing over how the brain shapes our emotions, habits and sense of self, I realised that real learning doesn't happen through data alone, it happens through connection.

That insight, combined with an overthinking mind, pushed me to develop my educational approach, Neuro-storytelling, where science speaks from a place of creativity, helping people reconnect their minds naturally.

Nervous system isn't broken

You're not Broken

Our nervous systems don't have to work against us. Healing is about understanding not fixing. 

healing isn't linear

Healing isn't linear 

My story doesn't have to be a mirror to yours. Life happens, we spiral, we grow and sometimes a pause is all we need.

science as your best friend

Wellness is for everyone

Wellness, real wellness isn't based on a fancy budget or a perfect life.  I've learned that the most beautiful moments arrive amidst the chaos. 

joy is medicine

Joy is Medicine

Sometimes the only motivation we need to keep going  is a good laughter.

Science as your bestie

This isn't only knowledge, it's my lived story. 

I combine neuroscience, public health practices, psychology, and personal experiences so that the support you receive is 100% brain-based and deeply honest, coming from a human perspective. 

But hey, I'm skeptical AF as well, so if your mind is wondering who the heck I am, here are my credentials: 

  • Public Health Grad: I know that the best medicine happens before you get sick. 

  • Specialisation in the Science of Mind: I've been trained to teach how to reshape your brain's inner workings.

  • Psychology Studies: Specialising in positive psychology. 

  • Autistic, hyperlexic: I'm a former savant kid, deeply expert in living in a world that wasn't built for people like me.  

The Lotus Cortex is for you if...

You are done with one-size-fits-all wellness and crave something made for your brain.

You are looking for science that feels human and woman.

You feel the need to reconnect with your body and mind on your terms. 

You believe in learning through connection, not perfection.

You are ready to explore mental wellness with Neuro-storytelling, where everything blends evidence, empathy and colour.

You want support from someone who walks as she preaches and understands the nuances of healing as a messy and sassy neurodivergent individual.
