Ivy Watts Bio:

A former All-American student-athlete who appeared to have it all together, graduating Summa Cum Laude and a top 30 finalist for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award, on the inside struggled daily with anxiety, self-worth, and depression. After finally seeking help, Ivy, who is Mental Health First Aid Certified, promotes mental wellness, and reduces stigma around mental health by sharing her story through public speaking and her blog, Beautifully Simply You. Ivy is also the author of You Are Worth Fighting For, a book that will help you find the tools to look within and find tools for mental wellness, self-care, and self-love.

Ivy has her undergraduate degree in Psychology from University of New Haven and her Master’s in Public Health from Boston University.

Ivy has empowered over 50,000 students, administrators/coaches, as well as parents and employees to learn the power of self-love and self-care, for themselves and for others.
