Working in health I like to look at everything that may affect people's health and well-being. This includes mental, physical and chemical factors. I work from the premise that our mind and body are intimately connected, so when treating one we treat the other. It is this belief that lead me to start Just Laughter. I love the positive health benefits gained from such simple means.

Several years ago I attended some laughter sessions and really enjoyed them. I was amazed at how good you could feel after just one session! On moving to Oxford I was unable to find a laughter club so decided to complete Dr.Kataria's Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Training and start my own club.

Through the laughter sessions I aim to:

Help reduce stress
Laugh out problems and challenges, maybe find some new solutions
Create social connections
Reintroduce adults to their childlike playfulness - laughing for no reason!
Have a fantastic cardiovascular workout (what better way than to laugh yourself fit?)
Help optimise health and well-being
Promote better breathing
Spread joy and laughter...

Dr. Kataria, who developed Laughter Yoga, has the objective of promoting world peace through laughter. How wonderful, changing the world one ha, ho or hee at a time!

I look forward to laughing with you at a session soon.

I have always had an interest in the link between the mind and body with regard to good health.

Having worked as an Occupational Therapist, I love the idea of helping people to improve the quality of their lives. Laughter Yoga is one of the simplest ways to achieve a positive effect on both the body and the mind. It has been scientifically proven that there are many physical benefits from Laughter Yoga, as well as the feel-good factor of having a really good laugh, especially for no reason.

It puts us back in touch with the playful side of our nature which, all too often, gets ignored in the rush of our daily lives.

I was looking for a class in Oxford and couldn’t find one, so I trained as a Laughter Yoga Leader and am delighted that Annabel and I are working together to create more laughter and creativity throughout Oxfordshire, in schools and the corporate world, as well as in the wider community.
