Tammah Watts (she/her) is a Best-selling Author, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Certified Kripalu Mindful Outdoor Guide, birder, and an advocate for the equitable accessibility of nature, health, and mental health for all. She has served communities for over 35 years in managerial, clinical, and consulting roles for private, non-profit, colleges, and public sectors.
KEEP LOOKING UP: Your Guide to the Powerful Healing of Birdwatching, with Hay House, is her first book–a narrative memoir and guidebook with contemplative exercises– that chronicles her journey towards healing by meaningfully connecting with birds.
She brings that same passion to conservation and birding by serving on the Audubon CA Advisory Board of Directors as the Southern California Audubon Chapter Council Representative, Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Project Feeder Watch + DISES Project Advisory Board, and her local San Diego Bird Alliance board.
Tammah has appeared in various media outlets including the New York Times, Psychology Today, Therapy For Black Girls, MetroUK, The Authors Guild, Ray Brown’s Talkin’ Birds, and Hay House’s You Can Heal Your Life podcast and Empower You app.
She lives in San Diego, California with her husband, Harrison, and their little dog Sophie Cat, all the while trying to combat empty nesters syndrome by visiting (and birding) with their children and grandchildren whenever possible.
