Jewelz’s parents were surprised when she came out of the womb laughing so it was only natural that she would become a Laughter Yoga Facilitator!
Apparently it could be genetic!

A little history…
In March 1995 Dr. Madan Kataria, a medical doctor in Mumbai, India was writing an article “Laughter - The Best Medicine” for a health journal. During his research he was impressed by Norman Cousins book “Anatomy of an Illness” and the research work by Dr. Lee Berk. He decided it put laughter into practice to research the benefits.
Starting with just five people, at 7 am on March 13, 1995, at a public park in his neighbourhood he launched the first Laughter Club. They started telling jokes but the stock of good jokes and stories ran out, and negative, hurtful and naughty jokes started to emerge, so after about 2 weeks the club almost closed. He did more research and it said that the body can’t tell the difference between fake and real laughter - facial feedback hypothesis, meaning that facial experience can influence emotional experience.
