It all started when...
...a children's book illustrator, Weird Al enthusiast, and aspiring ukulele superhero took a soul-searching road trip to her alma mater in the heart of Georgia. While wandering and wondering through the humidity and spanish moss, Laura stumbled across a new direction in life; a way to make people laugh without faltering through jokes or taking a pie to the face. Therapeutic laughter wellness!
Two years later, with many raised eyebrows, lots of busted guts, sweat and tears, Laugh For Life was born!
Laura pursues the principles of laughter therapy by bringing a heartfelt sincerity to the task of serving others. Expressiveness, a consideration for others, and her enthusiasm for the model make Laura an excellent Certified Laughter Leader. She believes every small act of kindness and goodness can create a ripple in the pond of this universe, and that change begins in each of us.
Laura is a passionate advocate for chronic illness and disability acceptance, as well as a proponent against the stigmas associated with mental illness. She truly understands the importance of laughter for body, mind, and spirit. Laughter is one of the most accessible of health treatments, and it is Laura's genuine joy to share it with the world.
“If you become silent after your laughter, one day you will hear God also laughing, you will hear the whole existence laughing — trees and stones and stars with you.”
