My Profile

My journey into laughter and well being began in 2010 after getting laid off from my job as a marketing account manager. In a quest to reignite my joy, I discovered the life-changing power of intentional laughter.  

Transformed by the experience of laughing on purpose, it became my mission to share this practice with anyone who would listen in hopes it would help them too. I started a Laughter Club that is free and open to the public and the club quickly grew in popularity. My work got the attention of the media and I was invited to grace the stage at TEDx Centennial Park Women and to laugh with organizations of all kinds.

My extensive work laughing with older adults  inspired me to complete my Master of Arts in Gerontology at Georgia State University in 2014. While at GSU I did a rigorous evaluation study looking at the efficacy of laughter-enhanced exercise in improving older adults physical and mental health. Later the study was published in a peer-reviewed journal. 

I am passionate about sharing the knowledge I have gained through my nearly fifteen years experience teaching Laughter Yoga. I have facilitated dozens of Certified Laughter Yoga Leader trainings, helping people to deepen their own laughter and learn how to facilitate Laughter Yoga sessions.

In 2017, Dr. Madan Kataria, the founder of the worldwide Laughter Yoga movement, awarded me the prestigious Laughter Ambassador distinction for my outstanding work in the field. 

In 2025 I had the priviledge of training as a Certied Laughter Yoga Master Trainer 1-on-1 with Dr. Kataria.

I am known for my warmth, humor, and ability to put audiences at ease. Clients consistently praise me as the highlight of their events, appreciating my unique approach to coaxing laughter out of even the most resistant.
