Testimonials
“Hi Bronwen, The general feedback from staff was that the workshop was quite confronting. However they also said that it was a good thing, because it took everyone out of their comfort zone, and enabled them to break up their day in a really positive way.
Some of the comments: ‘Nothing like wearing a pig on your head, to ensure a smooth induction into the new work place’.
‘I really enjoyed the workshop and can’t wait for the next one!
I found the workshop interactive and of course very funny. Those who attended certainly benefited from your presence, in that it broke up their work laden day, and also created nice team morale.Great work.”

“Dear Bronwen and Kathryn, I would like to thank you both for the fantastic laughter filled team-building event that you created for the volunteers of MNDAWA.
Motor neurone disease is a tragic disease as it causes a progressive and fatal degeneration of the nervous system responsible for muscular activity, usually in a relatively short time (18 months to three years). This knowledge can often create a perspective of sorrow and seriousness. Our aim on the MNDAWA volunteer day was to get the volunteers to understand that although there is a lot of grief surrounding MND and its fatal outcome, there are a myriad of ways that we can assist to enable joyful and positive moments while the person is living with the disease. Your workshop did that and more.
You taught us to laugh when we had no reason to – what a gift. We will carry your teaching with us for all time, and thank you for that every time we use our own laughter to bring joy to another. Your energy was amazing and so very infectious – it still amazes me that two grown women can come into a room and transform it like that, yet still retain a level of professionalism that I admired. Some of the volunteers on the day were in their 80’s and you guys had their inner children out and playing within minutes of your arrival.
As a team building event I have to say that this workshop was extremely successful (and fun). The interactive training session that followed the laughter workshop was very powerful thanks to you getting people to open up and share. We will have no hesitation in recommending Laughter Works Australia to other organisations and businesses we come in contact with.”

“Bronwen you made everyone feel comfortable in the workshop. Most people had not met before, and it was the beginning of a weekend where people didn't know what to expect. Your Laughter Workshop put us all in such a good mood for the weekend together.”

“You have the amazing ability to bring out the child in people. Yippee! Making them feel at ease, being silly and giggly again. It felt really fantastic to laugh and to laugh at laughter itself. It was so infectious. Our whole bodies were invigorated and our faces were sore and red from laughing. But we still wanted more.”
