"With the Counter-Intuitive Healing, I learned how to trick my mind into being happy, it was great! I use this often now to help trick my mind into feeling better, I wish I knew this before! And I didn't know that there were so many different kinds of laughter, I used to just chuckle sometimes, but I'd really lost my ability to laugh for no good reason, and I've found that again, I'm laughing more and bringing laughter back into my everyday life in new ways that delight me." ~ A. Hamilton

What Makes This Course Unique?

~ Laughter Therapy & Counter-Intuitive Healing have not been brought together before or in this way. The concept of Counter-Intuitive Healing is an old one, that has largely been lost from the public's awareness. We'll explore it in a way that will make it useful for you, taking it out of the realm of abstract concept and into the realm of everyday helpful tool for creating wellness.

~ The Laughter Therapy section is inspired by Laughter Yoga, but we go further so you experience a Laughter Therapy class yourself, and then also explore 8 ways that you can infuse laughter into your everyday life and enhance your relationships!

~ While most classes and instructors are busy just recycling the same exact information offered by other instructors, this course brings you a unique perspective on how to apply these once abstract concepts and research into your everyday life, to enhance your well-being and relationships.

~ Your instructor, Dianne Fanti, has been teaching in community settings since 1993 and has uniquely integrated the healing and expressive arts in a way where they combine to teach how to build essential life skills and improve a sense of well-being. This is not only verified by testimonials, but by data collection! Students who use her programs have reported improved stress biomarkers, like blood pressure, heart rate, and other variables.

"I have recently taken Dianne Fanti's Laughter Yoga & Counter-Intuitive Healing course and found that it confirms that real laughter is part of our emotional healing process. We all should practice deep belly laughs as often as we can. Life seems better when you can laugh a lot and be grateful.” ~ Dr. C.A. Colella, MSW, Ed.D.
