Ivy Watts

Mental Health Empowerment Speaker

Always remember that

who you are in this moment

is more than good enough.

Hi, I am Ivy

I am a former All-American student-athlete, who seemed to have it all together, graduating Summa Cum Laude and securing a spot as a top 30 finalist for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award. However, on the inside, I struggled with anxiety, self-worth issues, and depression. After finally seeking help, I am now dedicated to promoting mental wellness and self-love.

 

I have empowered over 100,000 students, administrators, coaches, parents, and employees to practice self-care and self-love for themselves and for others. 

Together, we can change and save lives!

TESTIMONIALS

Ivy did an amazing job as a guest speaker for our 400+ student-athletes. She is charismatic and passionate, and kept the attention of our large group. Her message about self-care, mental health, and human empowerment was done with clarity and gave our student-athletes tools to be mindful of their selves. I strongly recommend Ivy as a great person to share an important message with any group.

Ivy Watts has presented at Celldex twice. She is engaging and inspiring. The organization has been working to support employees through the stressors in our personal and professional environments. Ivy was the perfect resource to help our teams!

Coaches Presentation: Ivy’s presentation at the WeCOACH Boston Regional Workshop was truly impactful. Her authentic storytelling and practical insights resonated deeply, inspiring a renewed commitment to holistic coaching within our women coaches community. Her sincere dedication, evident in the Q&A session and her honest feedback, showcased a genuine connection with the audience. We value how her insights align seamlessly with our mission to recruit, retain, and advance women in coaching. Her tools are invaluable in helping coaches sustain impactful careers in coaching and we express our gratitude to Ivy for her bravery in sharing her story and wisdom, leaving a lasting mark on how to support the mental health of our student-athletes and sharing how coaches can make a difference.

Marci Kornegay, Director of Leadership Programs and Events, WeCoach

You gave me the strength to schedule an appointment with a counselor on campus to help with the negativity and stress that I've been dealing with for so long. I finally feel empowered to make a change in my life  after being in the dark for so long. I think everyone in the room took something out of your story.

Student-Athlete, Bentley University

Ivy was such a powerful speaker at SDSU! She connected and engaged with all four groups of student-athletes that she presented to. Ivy varied her presentation content for larger groups and smaller teams/groups. Not only was her message and content exactly what the Athletics department had hoped for, the interactive and relatable nature of her presentations created a safe atmosphere for student-athletes to share and ask questions. Ivy also presented to the coaches and provided a mental health playbook that they could utilize with their teams. Ivy intertwined messages and ways to support the student-athletes on their teams as well as ways to support themselves! Finally, Ivy presented to a local high school and the student-athletes connected so well to her message and presentation. I highly recommend purchasing Ivy's book, "You Are Worth Fighting For", to give to audience members for her presentations- the student-athletes were thrilled to have her sign their books and speak with her after each presentation.
