My Profile

With gratitude & joy I can confidently say “Laughter Yoga Changed My Life”. Laughter Yoga gifted me the ability to CHOOSE my breath, my movements, my attitude and CHANGE my outcomes. 

Before discovering LY I was a single mom of two girls, I worked full time in health care, I was navigating challenging times, personally, physically, mentally, emotionally and financially. Injuries from a MVA accident in 2017 left me limited in my abilities to participate in previous health & wellness activities. At that time, a colleague of mine recommended I try Laughter Yoga (LY). 

In 2018 I became a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader. My original intention was just to use these techniques for myself. This life changing course soon inspired many new intentions to incorporate LY both Personally and Professionally. 

Personally I have been able to use these powerful techniques to:

• Heal (Body, Mind, Spirit)
• Relieve Pain/Stress/Tension 
• Calm/Regulate Nervous System
• Reprogram Limiting Beliefs
• Decrease fears/anxiety
• Strengthen Connections
• Channel Creativity, Joy & Expression
• Play with Mindset/Perceptions
• Strengthen Facilitation Skills 
• Become a leading expert in Laughter, Breathing, Meditation. 
• Improve my quality of life in all areas of health and wellness. 

Professionally I have had the privilege to facilitate, teach and lead a variety of Laughter Yoga Sessions, Workshops, Trainings and Events:

• Therapeutic LY sessions for Neuro Patients for a variety of health goals (discipline specific: Physio, Occupational, Recreational. Speech Therapy, Social Work, Dr referral)
• Early Childhood Educators and Elementary School Teachers

• Small and Large Group for various health, wellness, development goals. 
• Events & Retreats 
• Laughter Clubs In-Person/Zoom
• Co-Facilitate & Collaborate with other LY Leaders, Teachers, Master Trainers.
• Co-Facilitate Laughter Yoga Leader Trainings both In-Person/Zoom 2019-2024

Laughter Yoga has been life changing for me personally and I have witnessed profound therapeutic transformations with all ages, cultures, circumstances and abilities. Laughter is Universal, Versatile and Abundant. Throughout my journey I have found LY to be most effective when there is an intention, goal, and desire for change. With willingness and playfulness, one can choose to laugh for the health of it.
