Wearing two hats: Accountant by profession, Laughter yoga leader by passion

Some people know me for numbers and spreadsheets, while others know me for laughter, wellbeing and joyful connection. The truth is, both roles are part of who I am — and they come together beautifully in the work I do through Genny Jones Training.

A Joyful start to the year

For the SECOND year, Alzheimer’s and Dementia Support Services have invited me back to deliver my Laughter Yoga sessions at the Memory Café — and today was our first session of the year.

We shared breathing exercises, One Minute Smilence, singing, laughter and even a little dressing up and dancing — all the ingredients for a joyful and uplifting session.

I also shared a little about my journey on Britain’s Got Talent, which brought plenty of smiles and laughter. Seeing everyone join in was a real joy.

Why this work matters to me

Moments like this remind me why I created Escape to Happiness Island — because joy, laughter, music and connection matter at EVERY age .

And the exciting part? I now have more sessions booked with them this year 🎉

The Impact of My Sessions

My laughter and wellbeing sessions create joyful, inclusive spaces for people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, as well as carers and family members. Through laughter yoga, music, movement, singing and storytelling, I help people relax, connect, share happy memories and enjoy what I call “a holiday for the mind”.

Perfect for Community Groups and Workplaces

These sessions are not only powerful in community and care settings — they also work beautifully in workplaces. Laughter yoga can help reduce stress, lift mood, strengthen connection and bring fresh energy into the working day, making it a wonderful option for team wellbeing and staff engagement.

Ideal for

These sessions are ideal for dementia cafés, Alzheimer’s support groups, community groups, care homes, wellbeing events, workplace wellbeing days, staff away days and team connection sessions.

From Spreadsheets to Smiles

From spreadsheets to smiles, my work is all about bringing both structure and joy into the world — whether I’m wearing my accountant hat or my laughter yoga leader hat.

If you are looking for a joyful, uplifting session for a community group, care setting, wellbeing event or workplace team, I would love to hear from you through Genny Jones Training. I offer sessions that are warm, inclusive and memorable — designed to help people relax, connect and leave feeling lighter, brighter and more energised.
