LAUGHTER COACHING
Laughter Coach Training is a very important tool to add to your skills in helping others with their daily living stress. Go to the calendar page to see when the next Mathis & Associates Laughter Coach Training is scheduled and register now.

Laughter Coaching is “any intervention that promotes health and wellness by stimulating a playful discovery, expression or appreciation of the absurdity or incongruity of life’s situations. This intervention may enhance health or be used as a complementary treatment of illness to facilitate healing or coping, whether physical, emotional, cognitive, social or spiritual.” (Association for Applied and Laughter Therapy)

Neuroscientist, Jodi Deluca, Ph.D., of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University said, "It doesn't matter why you laugh. Even in small doses, it improves our overall quality of life."

  • Laughter Coaching is a process between coach and client and does not change the facts, but it does change the way one relates to the facts.

  • Laughter Coaching empowers one to embody more healing laughter - using this major cathartic process to healing emotional pain.

  • Laughter Coaching promotes appropriate laughter, resulting in self-determination, well-being and healthy connections, allowing one to see things that seem unbearable and releasing them in a pleasurable way.

  • Laughter Coaching creates physical, emotional, spiritual and psychological healing using a whole lot of laughs.

Over the years, doctors and health care professionals have reported many physical benefits to laughter. Here are just a few:

  • Decrease in stress hormone levels
  • Strengthening of the immune system
  • Muscle relaxation
  • Pain reduction
  • Lowering of blood pressure
  • Cardiovascular conditioning
  • Natural anti-depressant
