(No one turned away for lack of funds. This is a community of people coming together to support each other with mental and emotional health. Please reach out to me, if you want to be a part of this community, and a partial scholarship could be helpful for you.)
Come together and try this silly, fun practice and learn tools to bust through stress and play with problems.
Laughter yoga is a practice where we connect with each other through breathing exercises and simulated laughter, and through the exercises the laughter becomes real and contagious. The body starts to release feel-good hormones which boost the immune system, balance brain chemicals and increase happy hormones.
A fun, playful and transformative experience that can induce relaxation, bubbling joy and inner peace. Give your body a relief from stress and join in a fun session of laughter, deep breathing and play!

How I Work
My approach has been developed from a combination of many of my different mentors, as well as the practices I integrate into my Joy Reboot, Grief Yoga, and Laughter Yoga classes. It is body-based, trauma-informed, intuitive and holistic. (Holistic-meaning taking the whole person in mind, life circumstances, mental and emotional health, support systems, past trauma; emphasizing the importance of the whole and the interdependence of its parts.)
My work is rooted in neuroscience, positive psychology, mindfulness and energy management. A main component has to do with the consistent practice of self-appreciation and feeling good, as ways to reprogram your neural pathways and belief systems.
Your opportunity is to allow me guide you back into the drivers seat of your life, where you remember who you really are, how to trust and love yourself, how that feels in your body, and what tools you have available to support you moving in a new direction.
I am your coach, your guide, and your cheerleader…poised to support and celebrate you!
My Promise to You
I am here to hold you accountable to who you truly are, and hold the space for you to wake up to that and rediscover that in all parts of you. This may not always look or feel like joy, and I am committed to stick with you through all of it. Your part is learning where your commitment is with yourself, and how you would like me to support you in that.
Coaching
Coaching – which is not therapy or counseling – may address specific issues, personal projects, recent loss and grief, life balance, or general conditions in your life or profession. Other therapeutic coaching services or activities may include Somatic Tools, Intuitive Services, Laughter and/or Grief Yoga, Breathing and Mindfulness Techniques and guided meditation.
As your Coach and guide, I support you to uplevel your joy, and expand your capacity to receive, often by meeting unmetabolized grief, and other difficult emotions in the body, in order to experience positive growth in new directions that feel empowering, grounded and tangible.
These changes will sometimes happen fast and sometimes they take more time.
A solid commitment from both of us allows the coaching relationship to develop and be powerful, and when the going gets tough, we stay in collaboration and work through to the other side. As your coach, you have my word that I am 100% committed to you being powerful, successful and to having the life you want.

Cras ultricies ligula sed magna
“Staying at the bed and breakfast was like coming home. It was cozy, comfortable and welcoming”
Joy is not the absence of hardship – it is the presence of connection, aliveness, and love.
Laughter Yoga
“Once you travelled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey.”
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
