ABOUT JANET
Janet Carroll has had an impressive and multi-dimensional career. Her 50+ years in nursing, 37 years in massage therapy, 10 years in Laughter Yoga and 3 years working with HeartMath have given her not only decades of experience in health services, but a special insight into physical, mental and emotional well-being. It was out of these insights that her passion for assisting others in healing their lives that her transformational programs, classes, and presentations were birthed.
Her broad background includes working as a nurse practitioner, educator, coordinator, consultant, public health worker and hospital staff nurse. In 2013, Janet added to her already long list of credentials, with certifications as a Laughter Yoga Leader and Instructor. And in 2019, she completed training as a Certified HeartMath Resiliency Trainer. It is her mission to provide care-giving professionals (particularly education & healthcare professionals) as well as Veterans and First Responders with the tools they need to heal from and prevent burnout/PTSD, ADD, mental, emotional & physical stress and help restore joy, resilience and the ability to live life again.
"It's time to take laughter seriously"

Founder of Laughter Yoga
WHAT IS LAUGHTER YOGA?
Laughter Yoga is a single exercise routine that reduces physical, mental and emotional stress simultaneously. It combines Laughter with Yoga Breathing to quickly stop cortisol and release happiness hormones into the body, opening the door for functioning in the Parasympathetic Nervous System. All this happens within the first
3-5 minutes of your Laughter!
Try it! Janet's popular one-hour presentations are great for groups, businesses, schools, hospitals, churches, first responders and anyone who can
fog a mirror!
