Empowering You
To Rise Above Stress
And Step Into Resilience
Hi, I am Ivy
As a former All-American student-athlete and Top 30 NCAA Woman of the Year Finalist, I seemingly achieved success on the outside while battling anxiety, self-doubt, and burnout in silence. Prioritizing my mental wellness changed everything and now, I help others do the same.
Through keynotes and workshops, I’ve empowered over 200,000 corporate professionals, students and coaches to reduce burnout and build confidence and resilience.

First things first—Ivy’s smile says it all! She is so welcoming. In this session, she reminded me that I am enough and that it’s okay not to be okay. I realized that when you focus on the great things in your life, they outweigh the bad. The tapping technique was amazing—I found it really helped calm me down during an anxious moment.
Finally, the affirmations: I am worthy. I am enough. I am good enough. Sometimes, when you enter certain spaces, you must remind yourself of these truths.
Looking forward to the next session with Ivy—well done!
Natea Williams, Specialist, Multicultural Affairs, Equity & Inclusion at Primient
Ivy's presentation was incredible, she was energetic, and real. She demonstrated how it's ok to be vulnerable and acknowledge when things in life are not ok. She delivered an inspiring and moving presentation and left us with tools to equip ourselves to feel mentally empowered. The positive feedback we received from the attendees has been overwhelming. I highly recommend this session with Ivy and would absolutely book her for a future event.

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.

Not your average coaching model
Our work goes beyond mindset. This is somatic, nervous system-rooted support to help you come home to your most empowered self.
I hold space for the burnout, the overwhelming pressure, the quiet inner struggles and everything in between.
Real transformation begins when you slow down, release what’s been holding you back, and reconnect with who you are, so you can feel grounded and fully alive.
