Self-Determination Theory (SDT) has grown into the world’s leading behavioral science model for understanding motivation and engagement. What started as groundbreaking research by our founders, Drs. Richard Ryan and Edward Deci, has now inspired thousands of scholars, researchers, and professionals across the globe who use SDT to drive meaningful change.

With nearly a million independent research studies supporting its impact, SDT provides a proven framework for enhancing engagement, well-being, and performance. It helps individuals thrive while offering practical solutions to reduce burnout and turnover.

At Immersyve Health, we are dedicated to practically applying  SDT to empower people and organizations to unlock their full potential.

At Immersyve Health, we believe motivation isn’t something to impose—it’s something to cultivate. Self-Determination Theory (SDT) challenges us to shift the focus from simply motivating people to creating the right conditions for them to thrive.

By fostering autonomy, relatedness, and mastery—the core psychological needs that drive human behavior—SDT helps unlock deep, sustainable motivation and engagement. When these needs are supported, individuals naturally perform at their best, experience greater well-being, and achieve meaningful personal growth.

Our mission is to empower individuals and organizations with the tools to nurture these conditions, leading to higher performance, retention, and well-being.
