She is now Marketing Representative for ComForcare home care. She specializes in the emotional, spiritual and recreational well-being for senior adults. She received her Laughter Leader Certification through The World Laughter Tour. The 2-day workshop taught her how to incorporate laughter into everyday living as well as teach others to do the same. She uses laughter fitness with her residents as well as an outreach into the community, educating others on how to use laughter as a stress reliever. Participants will walk away with: 1) The ability to incorporate laughter into your daily routine. This introduction to laughter fitness will show you how to laugh without gossip or humor and demonstrate the basic fundamentals of laughter exercise. 2) Learning a new and easy way to relieve stress. Routine laughter releases endorphins thus causing a feeling of happiness and relaxation. Participants will learn the proper way to laugh during a stressful moment and be able to properly exfoliate the stress surrounding the situation in question. 3) Good-hearted living. Happiness begins each day and learning the various aspects of good-hearted living will provide the participant with a positive outlook and the ability to share with others.
