Welcome to Laughing Life
Here's something that might surprise you: your brain can't tell the difference between "real" laughter and intentional laughter. Both trigger the same stress-reducing, mood-boosting, connection-building benefits.
Which means you don't have to wait for something funny to happen.
I'm Vikki, and I help people access joy on purpose - through playful laughter exercises, gentle movement, and breathwork. Whether you're coming on your own, with a group, or as part of a workplace team, there's nothing to perform and no pressure to get it right.
Just come as you are. Giggle, chuckle, or chortle - it's all welcome here.
Hi, I'm Vikki
I'm a certified laughter wellness facilitator with a Bachelor of Psychology from Manchester University, lived experience with mental health recovery, and over 14 years in the wellness space. I've founded award-winning retreat companies, run international wellbeing festivals, and helped thousands of people reconnect with joy.
I approach every session with warmth, respect, and an understanding that wellbeing looks different for everyone. There's no pressure to perform - only an invitation to explore.
YOUR GUIDE
THE PRACTICE
What is intentional laughter?
Intentional laughter is a body-based wellbeing practice that uses playful exercises and breathwork to activate your natural laughter response — without relying on humour, jokes, or comedy.
Laughing Life sessions are warm, inclusive and judgement-free. They’re designed for real people living real lives — not performers, extroverts or anyone who thinks they’re “not the laughing type”.
BENEFITS
Why laughter for wellbeing?
Laughter has been well researched for its ability to reduce stress, release tension and strengthen connection. When we laugh, the body softens, the nervous system settles and everything feels a little less heavy. When we laugh together, that effect deepens — people feel more at ease, more open and more connected.
Stress relief
Reduce stress hormones and help the mind and body feel calmer.
Deeper connection
Build genuine bonds through shared laughter and playful interaction.
Uplift mood
Boost feel-good chemicals to increase positivity and emotional wellbeing.
