My Profile

HeatherJoy is the name my parents gave me at birth: I was born for laughter yoga, I just didn't know for many years.

A chance visit to a laughter club in a park was my introduction to this wonderful complementary health modality. I soon became a certified laughter yoga leader so that I could share the experience as a volunteer laughter club leader.

In 2017 I gained my laughter yoga teacher certification, trained by Dr Madan Kataria, and soon after turned my back on a successful corporate career to professionally deliver in-person and online:

• workshops
• seminars
• conference presentations.

My clients may be small groups (such as wellness day retreat sessions for carers with as few as 8 participants) to conference ice-breakers that get 100s of delegates out of their seats, laughing.

I work with companies, community organisations, universities, TAFEs, education and health sectors, and government departments.

I train laughter yoga leaders, running the certified program over 2 days in Brisbane and regional Queensland cities. You can read what clients and students say of my laughter yoga work at this link: http://www.thehappydemic.com.au/testimonials/

I am devoted to spreading wellbeing through laughter, seriously!

While working professionally in the laughter wellbeing space, I continue to 'give back' to my community. I set up The Gap Laughter Club in Brisbane and run two community social laughter clubs in the Moreton Bay region.
