As a cancer survivor, I needed to find a way to cope with the pain and hardships in my life during my treatments, and that is when I discovered the power of Laughter. I wanted to share what I learned about positivity, joy and laughter and became a Certified Laughter yoga leader and then as a result of people reaching out to me for help, I got my graduate degree in Health and Wellness Coaching at Maryland University of Integrative Health. I became a Certified Health and Wellness Coach and a Certified Life Coach with a Certification through the International Coaching Federation ICF, the gold standard in coaching.

I have taught people how to create happiness in their lives and to engineer the positive power and energy of laughter in my interactive teambuilding and laughter workshops. I inspire people with my unique stress management techniques harnessing anxiety over our changing world and to live in the positive with gratitude and joy in my corporate seminars and meetings. I also empower private groups such as cancer support groups, physically challenged, Asperger’s Syndrome & Autism Spectrum, pain management and senior citizens to laugh and heal through life’s challenges.

As a motivational keynote speaker at conferences, conventions, workshops, embassies, corporate events and retreats, I have inspired individuals, organizations and businesses to apply my positive growth principles and become successful.

I am the author of the popular DVD, Laugh of Stress: Laughter Yoga Exercises and my upcoming book on happiness. I’ve been a faculty member of Montgomery College, Maryland, and I am the TV show host of the weekly Happy and Healthy TV show, MMCTV.

I’ve received several awards! Including:

• The Small Business Administration award for Young Entrepreneur of the year, received at the White House.
• The Survivor of the Year Award from the Susan G. Komen organization, DC More Than Pink Walk for my volunteer work
• The Community Achievement Award from ASIRT Association of International Road Travel for my volunteer work.

When I am not speaking or laughing, I enjoy volunteering and giving back, but I also love to spend time with my family, travel and visit the beach!
