About Melanie

“If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work.” – Thích Nhất Hạnh, Being Peace

Holistic Laughter Coach Melanie Bloch is a Laughter Yoga Master Trainer, Ambassador, Meditation and Laughter Teacher, Certified Happiness Coach and Keynote Speaker with over 25 years experience in the Wellbeing and Complementary Medicine Field.

Based in London. She originally went to Drama School and worked professionally in the Acting Industry. As a drama coach, she discovered the therapeutic effects of bodywork to release sound and breath. This led her into the field of Complementary Medicine, Spiritual, Self-Development and Inside Out Understanding. A student and facilitator of ‘A Course of Miracles’ over the last 25 years Melanie has qualified, developed, and worked with highly effective Well Being Modalities including:

• Therapeutic Systems of Massage
• Reiki
• Thought Field Therapy
• Theta Healing,
• Meditation
• Happiness Coach Training with Dr Robert Holden
• Laughter Therapy
• In depth and continued Spiritual Study of A Course in Miracles and The 3 Principles- Inside Out Understanding

After the loss of a loved one at a very low period in her life, she was struck by the many benefits she felt after attending a Laughter Playshop. She trained in Laughter Facilitation Skills in 2012 sharing laughter sessions from a very authentic place, recognising that laughter and tears are healing and natural. Sometimes tears have to be shed and other emotions have to be met first, as part of the process, to then connect with the inner spirit of laughter within.

Mel qualified as a Laughter Yoga Teacher in 2013, and for the quality of her work in this field, gained the title LY Ambassador in 2017 and Laughter Yoga Master Trainer in 2023

It is the spirit of laughter that animates acts of loving kindness, that inspires fresh hope and new resolve, that ignites your irrepressible heart, that connects you to what is true

Using therapeutic techniques, playful exercises and deep breathing – it is possible to access your own inner laughter. Even if you haven’t felt like laughing for some time – like the human spirit – the spirit of laughter is strong – it can and will rise again.

Over the last 11 years with her unique background and skills Melanie has been running regular Wellbeing Thru Laughter and Meditation Sessions, Deeper Happiness Workshops, Seminars, Inside Out Laughter Self Development Half Day Intro’s, One Day Laughter Therapy Training, Two-Day Certified Laughter Yoga Leader and Five-Day LY Teacher Trainings with transformational results and heartwarming feedback.

Explore second wave positive psychology, inside out understanding – where science and spirituality meet – in an uplifting, sensitive, fun, and interactive way.

Reconnect with the Inner Spirit of Joy, Innate Well Being and the many Health Benefits of Laughter.

Anyone looking for some peace, fun, joy, and real healing – I can guarantee Mel will deliver. She is the real deal!
