Certified Laughter Coach Training Program

What is Laughter Coaching?

Laughter Coaching is a transformational process which creates and re-establishes the practice of laughter into one’s life. By combining the benefits of laughter with the focused approach of coaching, clients are able to bring more lightness and freedom into their lives and increase their sense of well-being, lower stress and negativity, and direct this new strength and buoyant energy towards their goals.  By deepening their practice of laughter,  clients  are able to break free from long held beliefs and blocks that have held them back from their dreams.

Typical Clients are people who are:

• In times of transition
• Seeking tools for stress management
• Facing a persistent block or wall
  
• Feeling a disconnection from their emotions and intuition
  
• In a time of healing
  
• Feeling a sense that they “should” be happy because of their circumstances but are not
• Wanting to manage pain
• Preparing for an event, performance, upcoming surgery
• Couples looking to bring more joy and romance into their life together
• Are unable to attend a Laughter Club
