About Cathy Hansen
After 30 years of Corporate contribution, a career including Award-Winning client satisfaction, expertise as a Training Specialist, and with a Penn State degree in Human Service and Family Studies, Cathy Hansen transitioned into retirement as an “empty-nester” with a keen interest in natural, healthy paths to stress relief and interpersonal harmony. Exploring her own wellness and development, Cathy stumbled upon Laughter Yoga; she experienced tangible effects- lowered blood pressure, heightened energy level, brightened perspective, and more.
To share the Joy and Healing of the practice, she became a Certified Laughter Leader, going on to study with renowned Laughter Yoga founder Dr. Madan Kataria to attain her Teaching Certification. With a background in the Corporate world, and the fresh perspective of progressive health, Cathy leads Companies, Groups, and Centers in seminars and sessions designed for community wellness, team-building, and more.
Cathy’s dedication to social justice and advocacy is reflected in her work as a Laughter Yoga Instructor, as well as in her other services.
Some of her community participation includes:
- Counseling Domestic Violence Victims
- Board Member for the Heart Association
- Mentor for Healthy Communities Partnership
- Presenter for WIN Violence and Safety programs within local school districts
Residing in Fayetteville, PA with her devoted dog Snickers, Cathy is also blessed with an amazing son and daughter, an incredible daughter-in-law, and her beautiful granddaughter, Kate! Passionate about inspiring and empowering others, Cathy Hansen is thrilled to provide others the opportunity to experience the powerful and positive benefits of Laughter Yoga.
