Across the globe the emotional energy of the world is flatlining. My work is designed to improve the quality of peoples lives by bringing joy where it appears there is none"

All great leaders do so by example and Pat's example is a tremendous inspiration to follow.

" Pat is one of the most positive, energetic people I have ever met. Laughter has been widely accepted as having a positive effect on health and Pat's approach is always focused on the particular environment in which she is speaking, training or entertaining. From the corporate office to the rest home, she can add enormous value to quality of the environment. It's high time we focused on proactive prevention of health problems and stress."
