Giggle On!® was started in 2008 as a call to action to embrace joyful mojo and laugh with wild abandon.

Giggle On! was inspired by the phrase, Get Your Giggle On, which simply means: LAUGH & HAVE FUN!

Laughter is your birthright – claim it!

Hi. My name is Christa. This is my personal site and it is a labor of love, my gift to the world.

I am not a stand-up comic (or Wonder Woman) but I love to encourage people to laugh. I joke around a lot, enjoy silliness, kazoos, whoopie cushions and props of all shapes and sizes. I recently became a Laughter Yoga Leader and know how to make you laugh without telling a single joke.

I am on a mission to cure people from the disease called CGDS, Chronic Giggle Deficiency Syndrome (which is caused by a variety of things like depression, stress, anxiety, grief or illness).

Stress less. Laugh More.

This site started as a way for me to share my personal story of depression, grief and transformation after a friend’s suicide. Since starting the site in the spring of 2008, I lost another friend to suicide – this one inspired the name “Giggle On”.

I don’t use laughter, humor & playfulness to cover up the pain of loss, depression or stress. I use it to help transcend the pain, lift my spirits, exercise my bodies & relax my minds.

Laughter (the best medicine outside a bottle) is a transformational holistic healing power uniting the mind, body and spirit, at least that’s what I believe.

In the pages of this site lies my personal story. I am not a therapist or a shrink. I’m just a chick on a personal journey of learning and laughter.

WHY Giggle On®?

1. Laughter helps us recover from illness and strengthens our immune system;
2. It brings people together and breaks down barriers;
3. Giggling releases endorphins (natural pain killers) and serotonin (natural feel good chemicals);
4. A good guffaw helps us feel younger and more alive;
5. Ha-ha-ing increases circulation and improves the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues throughout your body;
6. Laughing relieves stress AND…
7. It is contagious, has no side effects, does not need FDA approval and it is Fat-free, Tax-Free and Calorie-Free!!! What more could you want (aside from thinner thighs and a bigger bank account)?

Giggle: The Foundation for Full Blown Laughter

When we see something funny or cute, we might let out a little baby giggle.

That precious little giggle is the foundation – the first step toward full blown laughter!

The giggle is an expression of joy and a way that love manifests in your life.

Sharing goodness, love and laughter with you makes my heart smile!

My close friends and associates call me a comedian, a Giggle coach and a cheerleader (minus the pom-poms and the short skirt – thank the Lord for that) but really, I am just Christa.

Even if you have felt the loss of a loved one, experienced the pain of physical ailments or suffered from deep and long lasting depression, it is possible to learn to laugh, love and smile again.

• Dream Big.
• Believe.
• Be Playful.
• Giggle.
• Love.
• Laugh.

Everything is gonna be alright.

About Christa

Useless facts about me: I love purple, hate the color pink, drive a pick-up truck, love Buffalo wing sauce,  believe I may be addicted to Twittering (does that make me a Twit?), wish I could eat Rice Krispy treats everyday and I desire to learn how to use a chain saw.

Oh, P.S.  My dog Rosie is the coolest and sweetest pooch ever.

Welcome and please, Giggle On!®
