Liberation Beyond Loss: A Retreat to Grieve, Heal and Reclaim Joy

Many of you know me for my passion of joy and laughter—I’m a Laughter Wellness Trainer, 2x American Laughter Champion, and 2023 World Laughter Champion. But what you may not know is that my journey into joy came from deep loss and childhood trauma.

For years, I carried hidden grief—one loss after another, heartbreak after heartbreak—building tension and pain in my body. Laughter became my lifeline, reminding me that joy was still possible. But the deeper I leaned into laughter, the more unprocessed emotions surfaced. Losing my parents and dear friends, facing unrealized dreams, and navigating unexpected life challenges showed me that while my laughter and joy practices kept me going, true healing required more.

I needed the space to honor my grief, be witnessed in community, and let the pain move through me—not just bury it beneath a smile. This healing journey led me to my calling: helping others access joy through the gateway of grief.

This July 11-13, 2025, I’ll be co-leading Liberation Beyond Loss, a virtual retreat

Do you know someone who is carrying heartbreak and could benefit from this kind of healing space?

I know what it’s like to carry unseen grief—the exhaustion, the frustration, the weight of it all. That’s why we created this retreat: a place where you don’t have to hold it alone anymore.

Together, we’ll create a sacred, supportive space to process grief, release emotional burdens, and reclaim joy, ease, and freedom in the body.

At this retreat, we will:
✨ Release Body Grief – Letting go of pain and suffering stored in the body
✨ Honor the Grief Only You Understand – Acknowledging loss no one else quite gets
✨ Transform Grief into Growth – Moving from loss to healing
✨ Reclaim Yourself – Rediscovering who you are beyond the grief

Grief doesn’t have to be something you carry alone. In community, healing happens. This retreat is a space to honor your loss, listen to your heart, and reconnect to love.
