13th Annual Conference for Direct Care Workers—Building Bridges
“I had the enjoyable opportunity to participate in one of the Laughter Workshops conducted by Jeanette. It was fun, educational and a great way for participants to understand the physical, mental and social benefits of laughter. It is also a cure for those of us who take ourselves and our situations waaaaay too seriously!”
“Our ‘Laughter is the Best Medicine’ session perfectly started off a day of learning, appreciation and fun. It set the enthusiastic, positive tone that we had looked forward to as a compliment for the activities and purpose of our conference. We could hear the response as our attendees thoroughly enjoyed this unique presentation.”

Direct Care Workers In-Service
"It was a pleasure to be able to provide our Direct Care workers a presentation that really allowed them to spotlight their own health and well-being. They are in an industry that is primarily focused on those whom they care for, so to be able to give them an interactive and fun learning experience about them as individuals was incredibly valuable. Laughter truly is contagious."

Care for Elders
“Laugh A Lot, Friends is right – laughter is the best medicine. This fall, Jeanette joined our group of older adults and led us through an innovative series of exercises. All along she told us the reasons and research behind her practice and by the end, we knew it was true! After our session, your body felt great and your mind relaxed, it was also a great activity to get to know others in the group. This is a great resource for anyone wanting to help a group of colleagues and friends to feel good!”
